Disneyland-Again! Day 2

Day 2! We aren't really morning people when we're on vacation. So we took our time getting up, getting breakfast and getting into the park. Most of the family went to a character breakfast, but we decided that while Doug had the time off, we were going to enjoy lounging in the hotel together for a bit. We all had matching shirts that Doug's Mom had made for everyone that we all wore. It was fun to walk around and have people ask us how many of us were there on vacation! Some people even asked Joyce where she got the shirt, or who made it. One lady even asked to take a picture of our shirts so she could make some like that for their next trip!

We hadn't met up with everyone yet, but we took our picture in front of Aurora's Castle.

We actually got to meet Silvermist Fairy in Pixie Hollow! Daisey hadn't met any of the Fairys before and it was so fun to watch her interact with them. 

Tinkerbell was very impressed with Daisey and all her pins and buttons on her lanyard. Daisey loves to collect little pins and things and was even more excited because Grandma made it! Daisey loved to tell Tink all about the things she had collected and all the Tinkerbell movies she's watched.

 We went up to Toon Town and met Minnie Mouse! Daisey had Minnie Mouse bows in her hair and on her lanyard. It was fun for the whole family.

One of Daisey's favorite rides in Disneyland is Gadget's Go Coaster. She'll ride it as many times as we'll let her. This time she rode with Joyce. She screamed and held her arms in the air for almost the whole time! Such a little adventurer.

 Daisey and Doug rode together on Autopia. She got to steer the car and Doug said it was quite the ride. Joyce followed them in the next car and had a rough time keeping up with Doug and his lead foot! They have so much fun together and bring laughter into our home all the time.

One of our favorite parts of this trip was that Doug's Grandpa G was able to come with us. The last time Grandpa G had been to Disneyland was when his wife was alive with Doug and all his family. This time she wasn't with us, she passed into heaven 3 years ago and it was special that Grandpa G was able to come with us. Daisey had many fun times with him, riding on rides with him and holding hands walking through the park. It was special to see them together and know that even though we don't get up to Utah very often, Daisey and Grandpa G have a bond that can't be replaced.

We got most of the family together to ride Pirates of the Caribbean. It was awesome! We took up the entire boat all on our own! 

 Four Generations! Grandpa G (Daisey's great grandpa), Grandpa, Grandma, Doug, and Daisey! All in line to ride Peter Pan.

 We met up with Doug's brother and his family right next to the Mad Hatters Tea Party. It's Joyce's favorite ride! No one wanted to ride it but her and the little girls. So all of us ladies climbed in and spun ourselves silly! Daisey loves to play and be with her cousins! Joyce likes to see the smiles on their faces and be able to make them laugh and giggle riding a ride that she loves!

 Not many women can say that they have two mothers. But Joyce can. She get's along wonderfully with her Mother-in-Law, Doug's Mom. On a previous trip to DisneyWorld, Joyce made her, Daisey, and Mom matching Minnie Mouse bows.

Of course we saw Princess Tiana again, so we went and said Hi for the second time. Tiana even remembered that she had seen Daisey the day before and this time, we had Daisey's autograph book for her to sign!

We went over to California Adventure to spend the evening and meet up with more family. 

Daisey loves any carrousel and this was even more fun because she got to ride it with some awesome cousins! 

Doug, Joyce, Grandpa G, and Dougs Dad riding California Screamin'! It's Dougs favorite ride in Disneys California. Grandpa G even had to take off his cowboy hat and hold on tight. The roller coaster goes from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds (or something like that- it's really fast!) It's a lot of fun and leaves your stomach behind!

We had a great day at Disneyland and went back to the hotel to get ready for another fun day filled with magic and memories!
