DisneyLand

John and I had the opportunity to take a cheap trip to Disneyland for pretty much the cost of gas. We decided that even though Rhett is only 6 1/2 months, since we were paying next to nothing, it would be worth the memories of his reaction to "the most magical place on earth". It was pretty magical for him!

(above left): Rhett's reaction to his first ride (the Snow White adventure). Eye's wide open were about the description of the day!

(above right): We couldn't pass the chance of getting Rhett his first set of Mickey ears. Believe it or not, he is wearing the "infant" ears -- which by the way could fit John or myself! Interestingly enough, though he humored us and wore the ears, he was MOST excited for the bag it came in!

(above left): the dumbo ride. (above right): Rhett on the Disney Train smiling for the camera -- he got good at doing that!

(above left): We went to Toon town and visited Mickey Mouse's house and it had fun contraptions in it. This one was a one man band set up!

(above right): Family picture with Mickey -- I think Rhett was happy!

(above left): Mickey was pretty great with Rhett. Rhett had fun "exploring" Mickey's face! An instant fan!

(above right): Rhett's first ride on a carosel (however that is spelled).

(above left): Day two -- Rhett seemed excited for what the day held!

(above right): In Toon Town -- Goofy's fire truck -- Rhett enjoyed being behind the wheel!

(above left and middle): Rhett "blowing up" some TNT.

(above right): After all the hype and excitement with Mickey, we bought Rhett a mini Mickey -- and what did he want?! Yup that's right -- the BAG! (Don't worry, he was also a fan of the toy!)

(above left): The second time at Mickey's house. I think Rhett knew Mickey was coming because he got all squirmy and happy when we went into Mickey's house on the second day.

(above right): This time Rhett was ready for Mickey -- he planted a big kiss (slobber?) flat on Mickey's nose! Rhett adored Mickey and all the people in the room adored Rhett's reaction and more than one camera was flashing! It was the best!

All in all, it really did seem like a magical place and it was AMAZING seeing Disneyland from a kid's point of view and how it is magical to them!

Should they happen to read this blog, a special thanks to those people that made this trip possible for us!
