The day after Jarrett graduated, we surprised the girls and Grammie took our family to Disneyland! Lindsay has been once before when she was about 18 months, and Madison has been in my belly ;) This was Madison's first official visit, and she was beyond excited. We stayed the night at the Disneyland Hotel, visited both Disneyland and California Adventure and had a fun character breakfast! Here are some fun pics of our stay...

 |
| Maddie Grace loved it...Pure Joy!! |
 |
| The girls and J took a dip in the pool/spa at the hotel... the water was warm!! |
I don't know who was more excited for the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique, Grammie or the girls?! I had never heard of it until Grammie explained it was a salon at the park where they make the girls into princesses for the day with a fancy hairdo, nail polish and make up!
 |
| Madison wasn't too sure about it at first... |
 |
| I.will.not.smile. |
 |
| Lindsay on the other hand LOVED it! |
 |
| Princess Lindsay! |
After they were all decked out, Madison decided she liked it ;) Although, she was just fine with her princess sash and opted not to wear a princess dress. LOL.
 |
| Thank you Grammie!! |
They had a photo session where they got to sit in a real Cinderella carriage... so cool!!
After our princesses were done at the salon, we headed over to the Submarine Ride. They were on the hunt for mermaids, but didn't find any until we visited CA Adventure later in the day. We enjoyed riding It's a Small World and the Monorail back to the hotel for some much needed power nap to get through the rest of the day.
All rested up we visited California Adventure and the girls were so excited to ride the The Little Mermaid with Grammie.
As it was getting dark the girls rode Dumbo and the Tea Cups!
Our resident daredevil, Madison, talked Grammie into riding the LadyBug spinner ride with her. We were giggling at how she kept yelling to Grammie, "Let's go faster!!" So Maddie Grace. LOL.
Jarrett the girls and Grammie rode the teacups and it was lit up so pretty in the evening...
 |
| "Spin faster Daddy!" |
We made it back to the park in time to see the firework show from the comfort of our hotel room. I didn't get any pictures of the actual show, but above our beds in the hotel room there was a cool LED display that played music and had 'fireworks'! We had our own firework show about 10 times!
The next morning we woke up early and had a yummy breakfast at Goofy's Cafe. The girls were thrilled to see the characters walking around and stopping by the tables to shake hands and give hugs or high fives.

| Madison thought Goofy actually made her breakfast...LOL. |
What a fun trip!! Thank you Grammie, I know the girls will remember (and talk about for a long time) the special memories we made at Disneyland! We'll have to do it again in a few years when the next round of Grand kids are old enough LOL. Love you!!
