Disneyland in the Summer

Since we were going to be in Long Beach for my brother's wedding we turned it into a family vacation.  We went to Disneyland for the 3rd time this year.  I don't know if I have ever been to Disneyland in the summer, so it was a new experience.  It was too hot and there were too many people, but we still had fun. 

Since we have been a couple times this year we were able to relax and take it slow.  It was nice not to feel rushed or that we had to cram every ride in.  We enjoyed our favorite rides and attractions and tried a couple new things.  Ava was brave and went on Thunder Mountain Railroad.  She did not like the ride because it was too fast.  I was brave and took Ava on the Teacups.  I survived thanks to my little seasick patch behind my ear.  It's wonderful and I will never go to Disneyland without one again.

Being brave and slowly spinning the teacup.

We survived and I didn't get sick...YAY for me!

This was Ava's first time on the Rocket ride.  She Loved it!

This time we were able to avoid waiting to take pictures with characters.  I think Pluto was the only one this trip.

Toy Story Mania is one of our family favorites.

After the day at Disneyland and the rehearsal dinner in Long Beach that night Ava was exhausted.

On the day before the wedding Ava was excited to spend a little bit of time with Uncle at Disneyland.  She wanted to ride with him on Buzz Astro Blasters and Star Tours.

After an exhausting 3 days Ava fell asleep before we left the park.

While waiting for the fireworks Ava was a little crazy.  She was telling the lights to turn off, so the show would start.
