Disneyland














We were so lucky to get to have Grandma and Grandpa Nelson with us on our Disneyland trip. A couple days before they got here, Lance's Dad had a gallbladder attack and the doctors were wanting to do surgery. But being the Grandpa that he is, he found a way to postpone the surgery so that he wouldn't have to miss out on the trip!!! He had to TRY and take it easy (as much as you can when you're spending 3 days at Disneyland!) :) so he rented one of the ride-on wheelchairs. Due to this our girls were spoiled beyond belief b/c they never had to REALLY wait in a line for anything. The person with the wheelchair can get 6 people onto the ride with them through the wheelchair access entrance, and because Ella didn't have a ticket it was perfect.Next time we go back without Grandpa the girls will be in for a real shock when they actually have to wait in line for the rides. :)





This was the look on Maddi's face on our first ride of the day, "Small World". Priceless!







Using an early pass into Toon Town to see all the characters!





I was constantly amazed by all the people that work at Disneyland and how well suited to families and kids they are. This was the first character they saw and Maddi was a little shy so the chipmunk acted even more shy and that was all Maddi needed to warm right up! Cute.







The Girls and Minnie!


Ella was pretty well terrified of all the characters (except for maybe the princesses....I don't think it's as frightening when they have a real face you can see!) but since coming home she is constantly talking about "Minnie Mouse" and pointing her out whenever she sees her.





I wish I had a Minnie's House in my backyard! My girls could have spent all day just playing here.



































Mia was so excited when she saw all the lights go on at night.


















Winding down.....





















I think we're done for the night!
