disneyland part 2

there was this moment, just before we left Disneyland on our second day there- I was riding ‘it’s a small world’ with jane and Deanna for the third time. it was our last ride of the trip. we were all snuggled in together, watching the little characters sing the song; and I thought to myself, “is there any other place I’d rather be, than right here, right now, with these two?”

here are some images from our trip!

we had a LONG six hour drive to anaheim, but jane passed the time watching dvds in the car:

our friend chris got us an autograph book so that we could meet characters and get their signatures. jane is normally afraid of these characters, but by the end of our first day, she treated these characters like old friends:

we were glad to meet all of these friends, but the ultimate prize would be Mary Poppins. Jane is a long time fan of Mary Poppins. we heard that she could be near the carousel or the castle, and we had our eyes peeled for her. jane and deanna were in the restroom when I spotted her. I got on the cellphone and started following her. jane and deanna were close behind me. Jane yelled out, "MARY POPPINS!" she turned around, took jane's hand, and walked toward her picture taking spot. it was the highlight of our trip.

and of course, we also very much enjoyed all of the RIDES at disneyland!

this trip was also jane's first trip in a hotel. this was weird for us, because we all had to go to bed at the same time, and sleep in the same room. jane got a rollaway and we pushed it up next to my side of the big bed. each night before we went to sleep, jane and I spent a long time talking about our favorite parts of the day.

disneyland was awesome! we can't wait to go back!
