Last Day at Disneyland

Well, our annual passes have expired . . . a whole year of trips to Disneyland has come to a close. We made many happy memories at the "happiest place on earth"! A highlight for our final visit was the fact that Joy now measured in at 40 inches! After several failed attempts at hitting the mark, she finally made it . . . and boy was she proud!

She has been waiting and waiting to ride "the fast train" a.k.a. Big Thunder Mountain. One time she was even measured at the front of the line and told that she was tall enough. However, once we reached the landing, she was denied . . . disappointment and tears! :( But not this time . . . this time she made it! She and Lindy were ready to ride!

They were all squeals of glee as Daddy wrapped them both in his arms and journeyed across the "Big Thunder Mountain"! It turns out these two are a couple of thrill seekers! It was so fun to enjoy new rides together as well as good old favorites.

We waved a last "good-bye" to the princesses . . . at least for now!

I will always hold these special times in my mind and heart! Wonderful memories of childhood laughter, our family all together, and the magic of Disneyland!
