As many of you know we made a short trip to Disneyland at the beginning of April. We are just now getting around to documenting it.
We left on a thursday night and drove as far as Primm, Nevada where we had a room reserved. Little did we know, it was the Dirt Track Drag Racing tournament (Drag cars that is) that weekend in Primm and it took over 35 minutes to check in because there were so many people in line at 11:00 pm.
On Friday we traveled the rest of the way to Marianne's an then on to Disneyland. The look on Ava's face when she recognized where we were was priceless. She was so excited and suddenly so well behaved! We spent most of our time near the carousel, Dumbo and last but not least the teacups. After all of these rides we realized Koben was not enjoying any of them like he used to. We thought maybe he was just irritable from the long ride. However; thanks to the clinic they have at Disneyland, we discovered he had a fever. I'm sure it must have been great for him to be spinning around and bouncing up and down on the rides all day. He was pretty much miserable for the whole rest of the trip.
An expanation of the first five pictures: We had been prepping Ava to greet Minnie for the whole trip because she usaully just runs away or doesn't go up at all. Well this time she ran up to her very excitedly but then froze. Amy helped her get turned around for the picture and then you can see her expression change progressively in the pictures. She goes from hesitant to nervous to annoyed and then displeased. But as soon as Minnie took her hands off Ava's shoulders she ran over to us and was completly thrilled that she had seen her.
We tried to stay late for the fireworks but they were cancelled due to the wind. We went back on Saturday and did more of the same rides, it was really a lot of fun.
