Mika's Disneyland Adventures Pt 2

So in May we went only to Disneyland for Mika's 1st trip. Then in June, she and I went to Disney California Adventure to get out of the valley for the day. We had a great time, but her favorite part of the day was the Monster's Inc ride, I imagine she could have gone on it all day and would have been okay with that (me, not so much haha) We also got to go on the new Little Mermaid ride too!

If you don't know, Mika's favorite movie is Monster's Inc (we have to watch it atleast once a day) After we rode the Monster's Inc ride a cast member told us Sully was just around the corner taking photos. As soon as we turned the corner, Mika's eyes light up and she yells Scary (Sully) She tries to run up to him, but he has a line of admirers waiting for their turn with him. We wait in line, and as we get closer & closer, she is trying to get to him. Finally it was our turn, she was sooo excited!

Hi! Scary(Sully)!!!

Then she participated in the Monster's Inc show

Monster hugs. Afterwards she tried to run to the center stage to see Boo

Us riding the Little Mermaid, she enjoyed going under the sea

Mika's Disneyland Adventures

For Mika's 2nd birthday we took our little princess to the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland! She overall loved it and we had a great time, she only had a melt down when we got off of Dumbo. She wasn't ready to get off that. haha

I was lucky because Steve graciously let me get an Annual Pass! Woo-hoo! Before I had Mika I had an annual pass and went often! Mika and I are trying our best to get our money's worth, by making a trip atleast once a month. So far so good!

I have to say it's been great to experience Disneyland with a new set of eyes. When it was just me, I was all about the rides. But with Mika, I have to do things that I normally wouldn't do (i.e. meet characters, watch shows, we have yet to watch a parade but plan to soon!) And since we have an AP we take our time at the parks, if we don't catch an attraction it is alright; we can do it next time.

On our way!

Bad Mommy!

First off let me say, bad mommy! I am doing horrible for updates on this. I rarely go on the computer, I always use my iPhone for my internet access. So sorry! Agh! I really want to be better at this. It would probably help if I had a laptop, but that is something I don't have at the moment. It's hard to do this when Mika tries to steal the keyboard from me to type this but here we go!

Easter Sunday

I hope everyone had a fun Easter. This year was a little different for us. Every year we usually go to Steve's Grandparents house for our family fun, but this year we ended up staying home. In the morning, Mika woke up to find her Easter basket. I told her she had a surprise, so she wanted to hurry and go get her surprise. She kept saying "prise"
