Another Awesome Vacation - Day 2

Day 2 was spent at the place where your dreams come true.
(You know, I don't think I have a single picture of my family where somebody isn't making some kind of silly face. This is the best shot we had.) Anyway, back to dreams - the kids focused on all their dreams, while the adults had so much fun watching their dreams.

A1's biggest dream right now is to be a fairy or a princess or, if possible, a fairy princess. So we let the girls wear princess dresses for an hour or so while we stood in line. I have never seen two happier girls! A2, on the other hand, couldn't care less about princesses. He loves trains and animals. So we fulfilled his dream by becoming animals on the circus train. (See what I mean about the silly faces?)Carmen wants to be able to drive, so off we went to Autopia.And A1 had to ride with Grandpa, of course. He's her favorite.Grandma's dream is to be as worshipped as Grandpa is by the grandkids. While we couldn't quite fulfill that dream (at least in quantity - A1 and Carmen simply love Grandpa too much), we did make up for it. A2 loves Grandma and prefers her over Grandpa.
It is my dream to not throw up at Disneyland. I'm proud to say that I have fulfilled that dream every time we go. But to do so has deprived A1 and A2 the opportunity to ride the Tea Cups. So Grandma took them with her so they wouldn't be deprived any longer.
Now that they've had a taste of the Tea Cups, they beg to go on that ride whenever we are at Disneyland. I may no longer be able to live my dream of not throwing up. Thanks a lot, Grandma!

It got quite hot while we were there, so the adults cooled off with a ride on Splash Mountain. Don't they look much cooler now?We had so much fun at Disneyland on Day 2. We got there at opening (8am) and stayed until closing (midnight). The kids were really tired, but we fulfilled Casey's and Carmen's dreams of going to Disneyland and riding all the rides.

And, of course, we had to get souvenirs
