The Happiest Place on Earth

Yep thats right... Disneyland! Chris and I watched a 3 year old boy's dreams come true! When we would talk to him about Disneyland to him before we left we would say "Parker... we're going to Disneyland!" and he would say "and preschool"... we knew he obviously didn't get it. But he QUICKLY did when we pulled into the parking lot. He was too much! Waving at the pictures of Mickey in the parking structure. Then we rode the tram to the entrance... another wonderful thing. The whole time he was trying to hide his smile and play it cool, but he was freaking out inside! It was so super cute to watch. Then we got into the park and the first thing we did was go to city hall to get him a first time visitor pin, then off to Tomorrow Land. He did the rides like a champ. He wasn't too excited about the Buzz Lightyear ride... he put his head in his hands and buried his face most of the time. But we hit it all up... Dumbo, Teacups, Toon Town, Pirates of the Caribean, Jungle Cruise, etc... THEN off to California Adventure. He LOVED California Adventure! We went to Bug's Life world and he loved all the little rides and we even got to see Lightning McQueen driving down the street in the Pixar parade. His face was priceless!!!! He really couldn't believe it! Leaving Cal. Adventure we got a sucker for Parker and a carmel apple for Chris and I to share and headed back to Disneyland for the closing parade. Parker proudly sword fought in the street with his Mickey light saber and his Jack Sparrow Mickey ears (which of course he is wearing right now as he runs around the house). He waved at every character and ran to every ride, ate half a churro and a big sucker, was forced to take potty breaks, and pretty much had the best time ever. On the way home we asked him what he liked the best and he said he liked the Jungle Cruise (I think he thought all the animals were real), then he said "I'm tired like Silas" and closed his eyes and slept all the way home! it was a great trip!!!!!!!!
