Disneyland 3

This was in Mickey's house, through which one goes to get to the photo op with Mickey. Since son is still not exactly talkative, it's often hard to know what "stories" are going through his head, but not in this case!



Small World was a Big Hit with both kids, we did it both days. Some people say of Disneyland that when you go with kids you see it through their eyes, and this was the closest I came to understanding that ... they really were fascinated with all the puppets, and responded to each new "country" (or area) as they came up.

Second Disneyland Post ...

Yikes! I haven't delivered on my promise to get more Disneyland pictures up, and Halloween pictures are just around the corner!

Daughter, expounding on something very important:



Son loved the characters, collecting photos with Mickey, Minnie and Goofy. He even elected to go back again on the second day:



Will try to get a couple more pics up tomorrow ....

Disneyland!

We managed to spend 11 hours (!) at Disneyland on Thursday and it went well enough that we were willing to go back on Saturday and spend another 11 hours there ... and again it went pretty well, despite rather higher heat and crowds. Our exceptional parenting skills, or Disney's exceptional park design and operation, or just plain luck?

Here we are fresh and excited on Saturday morning just after park opening. I'll have some more pics soon but I had to get something up today.

"family"



Son produced this artwork, rendered in graphite on purple-dyed cellulose, declaring "I love my family!" Notice that all the family members are smiling broadly! His lettering continues to improve. We are proud to accept this wonderful addition to our growing art collection.

Teeth!

Sydney's always very excited when each tooth comes out. I think here she's trying to show here "grown up" teeth coming in:
