the happiest place on earth....

yes, Avery made her first trip to Disneyland. we were very excited to take her to one of our favorite places, but, also nervous at the same time. we had no idea how she was going to do - but, she passed through the day with flying colors and was amazing!! it is definitely a different experience going to Disneyland with a baby, since we are used to it just being the 2 of us and we jump from ride to ride all day long. now, you have to take breaks to feed her every 3 hours. thankfully, in between thoses feedings, she pretty much slept the entire time. The rides Avery ventured on - King Arthurs Carrousel, Winnie the Pooh, the Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Carribbean, Space Mountain (haha - just kidding! only mom went on that one).

And we were so happy Avery was able to experience Disneyland for her first time with her Aunt Jen, Uncle Jared and Cousin Will! They were in town from Seattle over the weekend. Jen and Jared have made many a trip down to LA for Disneyland over the past 4 or 5 years and its been a blast! And Avery's next visit to D-land is already going to be next week, when my family from Ohio comes out to CA for a whole week! Any chance at 10 weeks old that she'll remember these trips?? :)

Here are some pictures of the highlights of our day...and a few other pictures from the weekend. Bear with me...I've posted lots of pictures!
