disneyland

with my brother's family in town and Gabe on spring break, we were excited to spend a day at Disneyland. Monday was a beautiful (albeit warm...) day at the Mouse House and we had a great time! Ava went on tons of rides: Buzz, Small World, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Pirates, and the Carousel. However, the only ride she was awake for was Small World... she loved it! At one point during the day, Matthew asked me, "Rachel...? does baby Ava always sleep??"

weeeeee!

the next day, some of us made our way back to the Magic Kingdom for some fun at California Adventure. Ava slept through the rides that she went on. The highlight was definitely going on the big roller coaster with Brian (his first time on an upside-down roller coaster).

we had so much fun, but after two days of excitement we were tired and Ava let us know how tired she was with an evening of fussing, screaming, crying, and squirming. FUN.
