Disneyland (ZZ's first time!)

Over Seth's break we took the kids to Disneyland! We've taken Rocco before, but this time was different, he actually knew all the characters from the movies, so he was excited the entire day! Plus he LOVED the rides!
So first things first, we went to the California Adventure Land Park. We took Rocco to Radiator Springs where they have the life size Mater and Lightning McQueen! He was so excited he could hardly stand it! (Let me just tell you now, we are so excited for CARS2 to come out this summer!)
After Radiator Springs we took the kiddos over to the Bug World. ZeeZee's first ride was on the watermelon caterpillar that smells yummy and squirts "watermelon juice" on you... She was all smiles!
Following the caterpillar we let Rocco ride in the circus bumper cars. He was just barely tall enough to be the driver! He LOVED it! I think he would've been happy if we just let him drive in those all day... Seth and I each took a turn driving with him, then the lines were too long, so we convinced him to try out the flying Chinese cartons. Zeegan LOVED the Chinese cartons. At first we were worried they would go to fast, but once inside you can't even tell how fast they are going... ZeeZee was so smiley!
After the Bug's world we went over to Disneyland. ZeeZee fell asleep on the walk over. I suppose that's a good thing though because then we were able to go on the more "scary" rides (like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride), and she slept right through them. Once Zee woke up we hit Toon Town, which was surprisingly fun! Rocco and I waited in line for what felt like FOREVER so that he could ride a 36 second roller coaster (which he was actually too short for, but they didn't notice on we rode it anyway)... but that forever long wait was completely worth it! You should have seen the look on his face! I got it on video so I'll try and post it later... he LOVED it! As soon as it was over he was yelling "Let's do it again!"
To finish the day off we went on the Buzz LIghtyear ride where you get to shoot space guns at the evil emperor Zurg. Rocco LOVED that ride too! He rode it multiple times with Daddy and was Happy camper at the end of our fun filled day!
And ZeeZee? Well she enjoyed herself ALL day long, but I believe her favorite part of the day was when I took her to the baby center and fed her nice warm squash while the old ladies in there made funny faces and cooed at her...
It was such a great day for our whole family! We'll have to do it again next year...
And thank you so much to Uncle Christian and Aunt Bronwyn, who made Disneyland possible for our family!!!
