Disneyland Day 1

Last year at the Atwater FFA Booster Dinner Dave and I bid on Disneyland tickets and won. Since them we have been trying to get down to take the boys and since Dave's break went a week we thought this would be a great time to go. Because of my jury duty we couldn't plan anything concrete, but if I was dismissed we knew we were heading to see Ickey Mouse (as Garrett says). We visited Dave's family on the way down and were so excited when Aunt Shannon and Karley decided to join us. They came down to LA and camped in the trailer with us for a couple of nights and joined us at the park. It was so great to see Garrett excited to share with Aunt Shannon and Karley, who became his new little friend. We also loved the extra hands and someone to ride big kid rides with. Karley was a great partner for me! I can't imagine not going on the Hollywood Tower of Horror! What a great ride. Anyway, our first day in the park was the final day of the holiday parade and we thought the decor as well. It was so pretty to see everything decorated.

Garrett recently started watching the Mickey Mouse Club at home and when Mickey needs a tool he will say "Oh Toodles" so on the first day we were walking through the park and Garrett asked, "where is Ickey Mouse?" and we responded that we didn't know. Next thing you know he is running around saying, "Oh toodles!" He is hilarious.

According to Garrett this is the only part of Disneyland that is truely Disneyland. When he saw the castle was the only time he would say, "look there's Disneyland". I guess since this is what you see on movies prior to the movie starting, I don't know, but it was pretty funny.
