Cara's Birthday Celebration Day 1

We of course went to Disneyland for Cara's birthday! It was so fun to be there for summer hours of 8am-Midnight! Normally we outlast the off season hours, but this time the hours outlasted us!

Mommy got us a hotel right across from Disneyland this time! It was called the Carousel Inn and it felt like a shorter walk than even the Disneyland Hotel! Iva got upgraded to the front seat on our double stroller because we no longer use her little car seat. Here we go into Disneyland!


We went straight over to Critter Country for Splash Mountain. Cara was just tall enough to ride which was a big deal because last time we had to use big shoes! This time she got on no problem in her flip flops. Daddy, Cara, and I rode Splash three times in a row. They didn't even make us get out of the boat! There was NO line. Mommy and Iva rode Winnie the Pooh three times in a row too. We eventually let Mom go on the big ride. We decided to look super scared for our picture.  Looks real eh?


This fun box was right outside Pirates and we love it because each character is going to be a costume for someone in our family! How awesome.


Iva was a blast this trip. Mommy was really worried because she's a crawler, but boy did she love the rides. She loved to sit forward and help pull down the lap bars and sit forward and look around. Small World was finally open. It had been closed for all our other trips!


And since it's summer, it's hot. We obviously needed ice cream!


Mommy surprised Cara with her new birthday ears! Cara had picked out what kind she wanted but Mommy snuck away and bought them while we did Tower of Terror!


Waiting to get into The Aladdin show! Iva didn't last in the theater. She found a 45 minute show very boring.


Mommy got an up close look at some props though!


First time on Jumpin' Jellyfish!


That night Aunt Angie and Lexi joined us with Uncle Eric! That's right we crammed eight people into our hotel room. Cara and I had to sleep on the floor. Boo. But we were alway so tired it didn't matter!


Uncle E didn't have a ticket yet so we decided to send him and Daddy back to the hotel with Iva and the big girls went and played for a little longer!




I loved pretending that we were checking in to the Hollywood Tower Hotel every time we went on the ride. I came up with some pretty elaborate back stories!
