Hooray for Disneyland!! Boo for Iowa and snow!!

So Disneyland was pretty great, granted we had our moments of stress and anxiety that go along with infants and toddlers, but for the most part it was an enjoyable vacation away from Iowa. It was definitely more stressful than the last time we went in '06, but we still had a lot of fun. I can't post all of the pictures today, Lenna and Scott have half of them. I will post a few today and maybe some at the end of the week when we are able to swap pic CD's.

Donovan loved being around so many people, and he loved the characters. Of course, everyone who saw him thought he was adorable and he gave most of them his cutest grin. Even the characters couldn't keep their hands off him. During the parade, Doc (one of the seven dwarfs, for those of you who don't know) came over to where we were sitting to see Donovan and play with him for a few seconds. It was very cute, but unfortunately, I had just taken a picture of something else and our camera took too long to process so I couldn't catch it in time. Just know it was cute and Donovan loved it.

I think the kids had the most fun in Toon Town, at least Donovan did. There is a little playground and you can also go into Goofy's house where there is a piano that makes silly noises. Here is our little Mozart.

I love that Disneyland has rides that everyone can ride. That made it fun for Mason and Donovan because they weren't left out of all the fun. I know I have said it before, but Donovan adores his cousin Mason. I think Mason gets all of his best smiles. They liked to play with each others hands, and we liked it because it looked like they were holding hands and it was adorable.

We didn't get Donovan any mouse ears. We borrowed Mason's for the picture. Don't worry though, he got plenty of spoils from Disneyland. Don't ask how much we spent on three little stuffed toys. If you'll notice, Mickey has a soccer ball, we couldn't pass it up!He likes them and they make him smile and that is all that matters. As soon as we have the whole collection of male Disney characters, we will stop. If we ever have a girl, we will get her all of the princesses to make it even.

We went on Pirates of the Caribbean a few times. Wouldn't Donovan make a scary pirate with his big grin and his shirt covered in drool?

Hopefully I can get the rest of the pictures and get them posted sometime this week.
