Ok. So we spent 2 days at Disneyland. Oh wow. You would have thought Santa Claus escorted us. These girls were on Cloud9. The McGees came with us the first day. It was great. We were there right when they had set up for Halloween. We couldn't have asked for better weather or 2 better days. It was just nice to dedicate 100% of our time to the girls. . . not having to stop to pay bills, or be on the phone, or wait for Ben to get home from work.
Ok. This was the "IT-IT" of the trip. Amy told us about Ariel's Grotto. You have dinner and each one of the princesses stop by, one at a time, at your table to talk and take pictures. Well, out comes Belle first and the girls sit up straight and kind of stop talking. . .waiting for the big moment. Then every few minutes more and more princesses come out. They were all around us. Téa claps her hands super hard and yells "Can life get any better than this!!!!" afterwhich Avery lets out this deep grumbling groan - I've never heard before - and screams "I just can't stand this!!!" through her tightly gritted teeth. They almost wet their pants. 
Poor Aves. She and Tay had a big day. But I think we kind of overdid it for Avery. You see, Ben and I aren't perfect. No no. We're not. We make some poor choices, even in our old age. One such poor choice was putting our 4 year old (and 6 year old, for that matter) on The Tower of Terror. We knew what it was, I'm not going to plead ignorance. But, hey, they met the height requirement so it must have been ok. Right? Wrong. Their cute little bums were all the way off the seats. The picture that they take for you as you're falling just showed Ben and I on the outsides facing in, tending to our screaming kids. They are so little that you couldn't even see the tops of their heads in the photo. She kept saying, "I don't like the big "elebator." I don't want that." Sweet thing. 
We had a great time. They were the perfect age. They KNOCKED OUT when we got back to the hotel. That's all I ask for.

haha! last time we were there i did the same thing with lily-made her get on the tower of terror with me. i knew ana wouldn't like it, she is super wimpy, but lily is sort of balls to the wall and i wanted to go so we did. as the elevator started to fall i wanted to karate chop myself for putting my 4 year old on it. i was trying to look at her face to see how much terror it held, but there was no light. then, when we passed a window and i caught a glimpse, i realized she was absolutely beaming with delight. she LOVED it. she laughed for hours afterwards. balls to the wall i tell ya.
yah - unfortuneately mine didn't have such a positive outcome. they gave us the Bad Parent Award as we exited the ride. Lily's a doll.
I LOVE these pictures. It totally makes me wish I could have been there to witness your girls. To see Avery so intense being in princess heaven - how fun.
OH MAN! That is sooo awesome! How fun fun fun. Tower of Terror. Ha!
