Awesome Kids

Taking a 2 year old to Disneyland is just plain fun in my opinion. I heard someone comment, "why do we take them when they won't even remember?" They might not remember it but they sure do enjoy it. Taking Jonah on the Autopia alone was worth every penny. It was so fun to watch his excitment. During almost every ride he would sit with his hands clasped in his lap and a big smile on his face, mesmerized the whole time. So much fun.
The first day Megan was a little hestitant about a few rides, but as her and I walked on Space Mountain (without coercing) she told me, "I want to try everything so I know what it's like." What an awesome attitude for a 4 year old. And she loved everything. She has now become her daddy's Space Mountain buddy. Second to teacups in overall rides, it is her favorite ride. She went on all the fast rides and dark rides she was able to. In a few years she can try Indiana Jones.

I just love this picture of her because it's her real smile, not the one she forces for pictures. It was at a park near my parents house. Anyways, back to why Catherine was totally awesome at Disneyland. She walked the entire time, without any complaints. That's 4 days of walking around Disneyland. At one point her dad tried to pick her up and put her on his shoulders and she said, "No, I want to walk. It's good exercise." At the end of one of the nights I asked her if her feet her and she said, "yeah, a little" but she never brought it up and she never complained. She walked around the whole time smiling and excited to do the next thing.
Mainly the only complaining I got from anyone was from the girls when we weren't going on enough of the fast rides. For young kids, I think they're awesome.

I am one of those people who said they would never ever take their little kids to Disneyland, now we have been twice and have annual passes, I agree nothing is as fun as an excited two year old at Disneyland. I am glad that you had such a fun trip!
