Disneyland!!!

 When we were in Southern California we ditched the baby and took big brother to Disneyland for his first time.  It was an amazing day, really truly full of magic.

  The pictures don't do it justice, but Anthony was thrilled to meet the princesses.  He still talks about how Ariel told him, "You can swim with me any time."  We were there on a Monday so there weren't really any crowds.  We walked on Small World, had a 3 minute wait for Dumbo and a 15 min wait for the Autopia cards.  We were able to ride the Matterhorn twice.  It was Anthony's first grown-up roller coaster and he loved it.

  Other highlights included seeing Mary Poppins and Burt singing in front of the castle, meeting the Mad Hatter and the refurbished Star Tours.  (Anthony didn't really understand how cool Star Tours was, but Bob and I sure did.)

  Anthony is still asking when we can go back to Disneyland.  He's also still asking about Hawaii, too.
