Disneyland

We went on a two day Disney trip during Izzie's fall break. They have been before, but they were a little older this time and appreciated it more. I was feeling very ambitious to take on a 2 day trip to Disneyland 30 weeks pregnant. I did ok besides the swelling. My feet were huge and even my lips were swollen. Seriously never doing collagen injections, it wasn't pretty. Anyway we had a great time.


The girls hit all of the classic rides a few times.

Ben took Izzie on all of the big rides this year. Both of the girls are thrill seekers. But before this trip, the best Izzie could get was daddy going really fast over the bumps down Potomac. She felt really cool hanging out with daddy and had a blast! Allie took mommy on the Winnie the Pooh ride a hundred times and felt like the luckiest girl in the world!


A new experience at Disneyland was the Princess Faire. The girls made their own crowns. Then the princesses appeared for a wonderful show full of audience participation. The girls learned how to be true princesses, a princess wave, a princess dance. Then the princesses joined them on the maypoles. This time next year we will have to make the star wars show as well for baby boy!







A highlight of the trip was the Princess dinner at Ariel's Grotto. We dined on hotdogs cut into octopus shapes and a side of mac and chees topped with gold fish. Followed by decadent desserts. But who could possibly eat with such anticipation of which princess would enter the room next. They made their way around the room to each table. The girls were star struck to say the least.
