Our trip to Disneyland. We flew to SLC. This is Shantae's first plane ride and McKenna's that she remembers. My sister picked us up from the airport and later we met up with my parents and brother. They drove us to Provo where we stayed over night. I like this picture of my brother and mom.

Monday, Nov 17 Disneyland Day #1

I love the Statue of Walt Disney with Mickey Mouse.

There is a picture of all twelve of us in front of the ride Splash Mountain, then you can see us going down the log in 2 groups of 6. Don't you love our expressions?

When we first arrived to Disneyland a man helped us around and gave us free pins, stickers and got us first on some bigger rides. He also gave us good seats to Fantasmic. A spectacular night time show, with many characters from Disney. It had incredible special effects, with lasers and fireworks. This year Disney is celebrating "The Year Of A Million Dreams". They are helping people fulfill their dreams big and small. So the tour guy gave us a small gifts and help us all day Monday and gave us great memories. We love Disneyland and sure enjoyed our trip. We came to California with My parents, My brother, my sister and her family. all together there was twelve of us. My kids have been wanting to go for awhile. Kenna loved all the big rides and Tae went on many big rides as well, but I think she enjoyed all the characters the best and especially the Princesses. She was with her cousin Hannah and they both are princess girls. They went to a story telling by Jasmine and danced with Sleeping Beauty and Jasmine. Tae's favorite princess is Ariel and then Seeping Beauty.
