California Dreamin'

While discussing what to do for Labor Day Weekend we decided to take a trip to California to visit Mike's family and Mickey Mouse. We were gone just shy of a week and a had a really great time!

This was the first princess that the girls met. Quinn was completely enthralled.

The look on her wide-eyed face was priceless.

Cinderella!

(Wesley's still not too sure.)

Our first ride - Peter Pan!

Both girls were a little shocked by it.

Quinn's response was "I want to go home." She quickly got over that.

We rode this everyday. Twice on the last day.
