Day 2 in the books

It is just after 11 pm California time right now and we've just tucked the kids in. We walked through the gates of Disneyland at 8:15 this morning to give you an idea about this day. My feet feel like I'm walking on blades (it didn't help that I had a flip flop break on me in the middle of the day), but my heart is full. As we were leaving the park tonight, Kaiya told me that she has heard them say this is the place where dreams come true and hers really has. Does a parent need to hear anything more than that? Suddenly, the $750 just to walk though the gates didn't seem to matter all that much anymore.

We mastered the fast pass system today (getting a ticket early and showing up at a certain time to bypass the line completely!) and did tons of big attractions with plenty of other stuff on the side. When it got hot, we let the kids cool off in a spray ground area (can you say soaked?) and then we hit more rides, caught the electric parade and the fireworks. The last ride of the night was a free fall ride that took you up in an elevator and then dropped several flights at once, went back up a few floors and did it again. Here is Kinley next to me, barely tall enough to ride, and she is laughing the whole way down.

The only thing Kinley has asked for the entire trip was cotton candy, so she got her wish tonight as well. She stuffed her face and then crashed harder than a ton of bricks.

Tomorrow is the princess breakfast, so stay tuned!
