The Promise Made

Shortly after John was born, we made a promise to our kids that we would take them to Disneyland. In fact, Ray was looking at Disney hotel packages the day before John went to the hospital.

So on September 16th we went to Disneyland. It was Ray, Corinna, Elektra, Mimz, (aka- Linda), and myself.

Elektra had so much fun! And it was wonderful to just forget about all that has happened this year and just allow ourselves to be absorbed into the magic that is Disney.
What follows are a ton of pictures from our three days at Disneyland. Enjoy!

Road Trip!

The Lunch of Champions!

Corinna and her feet on the dashboard- so typical!


Elektra and her feet on the back seat- so very typical!
(that's the headphones to my IPod wrapped around her foot.)

Say Cheese!

Elektra got to meet so many celebrities at Disneyland and California Adventure.

Here she is getting an autograph from Aurora (aka Sleeping Beauty)

Who's the fairest of them all?

Chatting with Cinderella

Having princess time with Mulan

Oh no! Don't let her near the puppies!

Entering the land of fairies

Elektra could not believe she was meeting Tinkerbell in person. She was speechless!

Hey, what you looking at?

Ray and Corinna getting ready to scream on the Screamer.

Elektra on the new Toy Story ride at California Adventure

Our score after the game. I'm player 1, Elektra is player 2. Not too bad baby girl.

A hug from Woody's girlfriend from Toy Story 2

California Adventure has a Pixar Water Parade. Each float and character has something that
shoots water out into the audience. It was so cool!

On the very last night in Disneyland, Elektra finally got to meet someone she has been waiting her whole life to see, Minnie Mouse.

We kept our promise, John.
