Kaylin & T.J.'s First Trip to Disneyland!

To celebrate Kaylin's 3rd birthday (a bit early), we went to Disneyland yesterday! We also got to see some of the other theme park, California Adventure. We were very blessed with an opportunity to get in to both parks free through a friend's connection with a Disney employee. (Thanks very much to those people who helped get us in!)

The Olsons at Disneyland! Kaylin enjoyed the day even though this picture of her doesn't seem to indicate that. =)
Disneyland is celebrating it's 50th anniversary.

Kaylin enjoyed a couple of rides but was not sure what to think of a couple others. However, her favorite part of the day was getting to meet two Disney characters! One of the characters she met was Ariel the mermaid whose likeness is on Kaylin's new purse. She was very excited, saying to Mommy while in line, "How lucky that Ariel is here AND on my purse!"

When it came time for the parade, Kaylin was excited to see some of those Disney princesses again! She enjoyed the first few minutes, especially when a couple of Disney characters made eye contact, waved and blew kissed RIGHT at Kaylin! However, as the parade progressed, sightings of the wolf from Pinochio and the Ariel's enemy, the sea witch named Ursula, were not so fun for Kaylin. She asked me to put her down so she could stand behind Amy and I, peering around our legs. Amy suggested to Kaylin that she cover her eyes... but Kaylin's actions indicated "I don't want to watch... but maybe I do."

So glad you guys had a good time. I wish we could have joined you! Although, Molly would have been freaking out by all of the characters walking around...she is so scared of stuff like that right now.

That first picture in front of the flowers is hilarious...Kaylin looks stoked to be at the happiest place on Earth. The parade picture is equally comical.
