We left out Sunday about 11:30am headed to south Utah (Zion National Park). We had planned to do some hiking and check out the sights for a couple of days, oh and go swimming in the indoor pool. We woke up Monday morning and it was rainy and cloudy so Michael just said lets go to California to Disneyland, and the next thing I know he's on the phone making hotel reservations. Driving through Arizona (for the first time)...
A couple hours later we were in Las Vegas - we got off the interstate and drove down the strip, since we'd never been there before. I loved all the palm trees! It was beautiful there!
Elizabeth loved this fountain and horse
this is as close as I've been to New York City, NY...
Welcome to California!!!
Monday evening we walked around and checked out Downtown Disney! 
Tuesday morning coloring in the hotel - so entertained! At least for about 15 minutes!
Walking into Disneyland...Madilynn got a little tired of walking
We made it!!
at the entrance
Mickey Mouse and the marching band came out just as we were walking by the square - good timing! (the tulips were beautiful by the way - reminded me of Iowa's tulip festival!)
Sleeping Beauty's Castle
We walked through the castle first thing...
The girls came out looking like this...they were crying and we just had to get out fast! It was dark and a little scary for little kids.
Madilynn and I stood in line at Princess Fantasy Faire for about an hour to meet the princesses. We got to meet and take pictures with Jasmine...
Belle...
and Tiana...
just after meeting the princesses - she thought it was so fun!
Then on to the tea cups
such a fun ride, wish we would've rode it again!Me and Madilynn wore buttons that said, "1st visit!"
Riding one of the many boat rides...
The flying elephants - so fun!
Madilynn enjoyed working the button making us go up and down
Madilynn and I went all through Mickey Mouse's toontown
Madilynn in front of Minnie's house. I got her picture in front of the "M" rug!
Minnie's kitchen - she even had to see what was in the refrigerator!
In Mickey's house
all while Elizabeth took a nap
by then it was getting dark and we were headed back to the entrance with one more stop at the Carousel!
Elizabeth woke up just before the ride started
Disneyland Main Street at night
One last stop at the gift shop to get t-shirts for the girls. Madilynn had seen everyone's ears all day long and wanted to try some on too!
more ears
Then we made it to eat at Tortilla Jo's mexican. We were so glad to have a sit down meal, it was sooo good!!
Then we walked back to the hotel and gave the girls baths!! Such a fun and exciting day!!!
