Yesterday - Januray 7th, was Ryder's 3rd birthday. I'm just posting about it now because we surprised him with a trip to DISNEYLAND! Here's a photo-documentary of our trip!
Here he is, all ready to go! He fell asleep the night before at about 10pm, then woke up at about 1am full of life! I only slept for the duration of Peter Pan and then woke up to leave at 5:30 am. Good times! But it explains whey he was awake and chipper - ready to go at 5:30 am! Lucky for him, he fell asleep in the car and slept straight through to Anaheim.
It took him a while to figure out we were in Disneyland, but he got really excited when he saw the castle. Like his cool, blue shades? Good. You should. He never took them off - all day. Not on dark rides like Pirates of the Carribean, not even when it got dark outside. He loved his blue glasses. Who knew he would talk more about his $1 bin glasses than his whole trip.
On the tea cups. We avoided the Fantasyland dark rides - Lola was not a fan. Oh, I should mention - we left the Chloe and Piper at home. It was Ryder's special day. Well, Lola tagged along, but her opinions on rides aren't that strong - yet.
Hey - it's Pluto! See - the kids were thrilled.
At Playhouse Disney - one of the few photos without his blue glasses, but they are in his hand.
It's Lola's favorite - Wall-E!
Sippin'n on that Bottle with some 'tude. I know, I know. Trust me, we're trying.
On the King Arthur's Carousel on "Nemo"
With Mater and Lightning McQueen. Oh yes, he was also thrilled about meeting these guys. What is it with my kids and characters!
It was a long day! They both konked out around 6pm, so we headed out. Stopped for some dinner - which Ryder slept through, and then home! We made it home around 12:30 pm - a long day, but so worth it! They did sleep the whole way home, which was nice.
Special thanks to Hillary and Valinda for tag team watching Chloe and Piper, who will be getting a trip with just mom and dad later this spring for their birthdays!
