Kate's first trip to Disneyland!

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Disneyland. We had the pleasure of spending 3 days in Disneyland and California Adventure with my mom, brother, and his girlfriend. We were a little apprehensive before we left since it would be Kate's first time on a plane and sleeping in a hotel but Kate surprised us all and was an amazingly happy, easy going baby the entire time. In fact Kate seemed to love all the park rides plus she slept and ate better than she does at home...go figure.

Before we boarded the plane for LAX we enjoyed some coffee and pastries while Kate ate her banana. Afterwards Kate and Will enjoyed some bonding time together and posed for this adorable picture.

Kate enjoyed looking out the airport window at the workers below. They were actually waving back at her which she thought was the greatest. She didn't seem to notice the huge planes, though.
We lucked out and our flight was only half full so we had an entire row to ourselves. Kate did an amazing job on the flight and fell asleep for the last few minutes before we landed.

The only travel hiccup we came across was that our stroller was left at the Sacramento Airport. Thankfully Southwest was very sympathetic and gave us a loaner stroller while ours was flown in and delivered to our hotel. Once we sorted out the stroller dilemma we hopped on the Disneyland Express bus to our hotel, checked in, grabbed some lunch and headed over to Disneyland for some fun. Within seconds of entering the park Kate fell asleep in her stroller so we found a shady bench and people watched while she slept. We took this self-portrait while Kate was napping.

Kate and Gramma in line for Jungle Cruise. (It was priceless having my mom join us since she watched Kate for us while we went on the "big" rides. THANKS MOM!!!!!!!)The three of us on the Jungle Cruise. Kate did not seem to even notice the animals on the cruise...she was more interested on chewing on Will's sunglasses.

Daniel and his girlfriend, Jessica. They look so cute with their Mickey ears!

Mom and Will in line for the new Toy Story Mania ride. The ride was a ton of fun and Kate could go on the ride with us!

Kate enjoying some "nakey" time before we put on her pj's.
Kate and Gramma in front of Small World. This was one of Kate's favorite rides. She rode it 3 times and loved every minute of it.

Kate also really enjoyed riding the otter on the carousel. She and my mom went on the ride 3 times in a row while we rode California Screamin'.

Waiting in line for Toy Story Mania...the second time around.

Kate did an amazing job napping in her stroller despite all the crowd noises. On Friday she took a 2.5 hour long nap in her stroller while we did Tower of Terror and California Screamin' several times.What a cutie!

This was a trip we will never forget. It was so much fun and being in the parks with Kate made it so special. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a family tradition!
