Disneyland!

This last weekend Munga (that's how Savannah says Grandma) and Grandpa took the entire King family to Disneyland! It was Savannah's first time ever and I was so very excited to experience this with her. I literally prepared myself for weeks before we went on how I was going to handle Disneyland with a toddler. I read TONS of mommy blogs and advice from lots of parents who go to Disneyland often. It turns out my little toddler could do all sorts of things there!! There were lots of rides she could go on, and there were quite a few characters I was eager for her to meet! 
This was taken right before we left Provo for our trip to Disneyland!
 
We stayed in Vegas on our first night traveling to Disneyland. This was taken the next morning and while the rest of the family packed, these kiddos got to run around and get out all of their wiggles before continuing the long car ride to Anaheim. 
 




The first day in California we decided to go to the beach! It was super chilly but the kiddos loved it:)
Savannah and I collected a few seashells to add to her jar of seashells at home!
We're hoping to visit again this summer with Nana and Papa so we can go when it's warm and keep adding to her seashell collection!
This was the first photo I took when we got to the park. We actually were on her very first ride, the mater ride in Cars Land at California Adventures. Savannah hated it...

Uncle Taylor and Cousin love Tigger so they were very excited to meet him!

Turns out Savannah loved Tigger too! So much in fact that Daddy gave in and bought her a Tigger pillow pet:) Aren't these cousins so cute??
 

Savannah's favorite Disney Princess of all time is Rella (that's how Savannah says Cinderella). She absolutely loves her! The first time we met her she was very unsure but don't worry, we visited her 3 more times and each time Savannah loved her more and more:) Believe me I've got a few more pics to post of Savannah and Rella:)
 
We also met Princess Ariel!
And Princess Aurora!
And Belle!


These pics were taken while we waited in line for Dumbo! It was a ridiculously long wait for such a short ride but worth it. These kiddos had lots of fun!


Savannah had so much fun watching the fireworks with Aunt Jeca and Uncle Jordan!
The next morning the first thing we did was go and meet Rella again!




Munga (grandma) took all of us ladies to Ariel's Grotto for lunch where we got to meet all of the Disney Princesses and they stayed and chatted for a little bit, they signed Savannah's autograph book and we got to take lots of pictures! Have I mentioned how much my daughter loves Rella? I have oodles of pictures of the two of them:)
This photo was taken while we were resting and everyone else was on rides. Isn't she so darn cute?
We took this pic on a carousel in California Adventures! Savannah got to ride on a Fishy! She was very excited and very upset when the ride ended. I promised her we would ride on the one in Disneyland which calmed her down:)  I made good on my promise and the carousel in Disneyland was the last ride we rode! 




I told you Rella was Savannah's favorite Princess! We went one last time to visit her so Cousin could get a picture with Rella too:) While we waited in line Savannah (who was hyped up on marsh mellows, fruit rollups and churros, don't judge me...) kept yelling about how she was going to "MEET RELLA!!!" Everyone around us thought she was pretty adorable:) When we finally got to see her one last time Savannah gave her a hug, and didn't want to let go:) Not gonna lie, knowing it was the last time we would see Rella that weekend almost made me want to cry... But I promise y'all we will go back. Savannah will meet Rella again!
Disneyland really was the happiest place on earth.
Thanks for our awesome trip Munga and Grandpa! We loved it:)
