Disneyland...Truly the Happiest Place on Earth

Halfway through the day we needed to re-charge with lunch.  We chose to dine in Frontier Land at the Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue.  The all you can eat ribs, chicken, beans, cornbread and drinks were excellent and we enjoyed the live music and fall décor while we ate.



Aven, trying to get someone to feed her...stat!

We thought the girls might take a nap in the stroller after we ate, but who were we kidding. These girls were ready to GO!

After lunch we had to try our hand at fairing the stormy seas on Pirates of the Caribbean. 
 
These pirates serenaded us as we exited the ride.

This little sister was getting a bit mellow, or tired.

Aven hitched a ride with her new boyfriend (Mallory's boyfriend, Tyler) through Tarzan's treehouse.

Our little family on Tom Sawyer Island




Catching a ferry ride back to the mainland.

 

As we were waiting in line for Peter Pan, our last ride of the day (and hands down, Emrie's favorite ride of the day) we looked over and saw my mom looking at her phone, entirely oblivious to the fact that she was sitting next to Johnny Knoxville.

Johnny Knoxville was one of three celebrities (minor celebrities) we saw that day.  We also saw Destin and Rachel from Millionaire Matchmaker (and I took a family picture for them), and former American Idol contestant, Carly Smithson (her husband had facial tattoos, which is what drew my attention first).

Not only did we survive Disneyland, we had a FANTASTIC time, and got photo bombed as we exited the park...haha!
 
Experiencing the wonder that is Disney through the eyes of my daughters was even more rewarding than when I experienced it for myself as a kid. 
It truly was magical.
