Emily has been asking for over a year now to go to Disneyland. So we had a free day and decided to head up that direction. We didn't tell the kids where we were going and let them figure it out. They had some guesses that we would be going there, but it wasn't until we were walking thru the gates that they really realized where we were. This was after seeing loads of Disneyland signs, taking a Disneyland (Buzz Lightyear) bus from the parking lot to the park. But it goes to show you what signifies Disneyland to 4 year olds. Buzz Lightyear can be anywhere, but the iconic gates leading to the front of Disneyland with the train station in the background is Disneyland. Even though it started to pour about 45 minutes into our time there, it was still the happiest place on earth.
Still in the car... Where are we? Doing our "something fun" of course!

Entering the gates of Disneyland!
On the flying Dumbos!
Carousel just as it is starting to sprinkle... And then the ultimate downpour! We were somewhat prepared for it - jackets and 3 umbrellas.
With the rain, the park wasn't too crowded. So Kyle took Emily to see her princesses which he promised her last time we were there (over a year ago). Emily was absolutely thrilled and just all smiles.
I think Emily was so ecstatic she didn't know what to do with herself. Kyle led the way to the princesses to say hi, while Emily stood back for a second in awe.
And then, Emily's favorite princess... Princess Aurora spent so much time with the kids it was amazing. She had a full on conversation with them. At one point, she asked Kyle if he was Prince Phillip, who apparently is Princess Aurora's man. Kyle gave her this look of "who in the world are you talking about?!?!" Clearly it's the princesses we know in our house.
