Dinsneyland- AGAIN!

Yes, we went to Disneyland again! We bought annual passes, and are happy to take this year's family vacations at the happiest place on Earth:) This last trip was actually a surprise for Brailyn. One morning we told her that we were going to a park, but we had to drive far away and pack a picnic (to explain all the food I was bringing). We loaded up the car and headed out. She was pretty content for awhile, but finally she asked, after the usual 'are we there yet?'-
'what state are we in?'
To which I replied, 'what state do you think we are in?'
'California.'
'How can you tell it's California?'
'Because of the mountains.'
Soon after we passed a Disneyland billboard and the gig was up. She refused to believe Clint anymore. He kept saying we were going to a park, but she knew better;)

One other note of fun: Since I was secretly packing everything, I put Brailyn's suitcase back up on the closet shelf. Of course it was the one thing I forgot to put in the car, so we got to run to Walmart at 10pm to buy her a new weekend wardrobe. She was of course very pleased.

This trip was nice because we had time to do some of the rides that we missed in May. And knowing we'd be back again for Halloween, we got to explore more of the Park. Clint even got to be in a little comedy show in Frontier Land- he played one of the bachelors for the Mayor's not-so-pretty daughter. And we saw the AMAZING world of color show, which is definitely on the must-see-again list.
