Disneyland October 2013 Day 4

On our last day at Disneyland, the girls still wanted to spend more time meeting characters.  They ran into Belle as soon as we got into the park.

And, Jessica met Mary Poppins at Main Street.

Then, we did a few more rides before heading home.

Disneyland October 2013 Day 3

On our third morning at Disneyland, we enjoyed a breakfast with Disney characters.  Before breakfast, the girls posed with their favorite Goofy statue.

Then, it was off to the breakfast where the girls enjoyed meeting with all of the characters.

We then went back to Disneyland where we rode the Teacups.

And, the girls had fun in Toon Town too.

Jamison decided this was all very exhausting and finally passed out in her stroller.

At night, Jessica changed into her villain dress.

Disneyland October 2013 Day 2

After Mickey's Halloween Party, the girls were ready to visit California Adventure.

The girls loved riding on the carousel first thing in the morning.

Then, it was off to breakfast with the princesses.  Both girls were excited to meet Ariel.

They also enjoyed meeting the other princesses during the breakfast.

While we were at the park during the day, the girls also got to meet Sophia the First (one of their favorites!).

Mickey's Halloween Party October 2013

For Mickey's Halloween Party, the girls dressed as Ariel and Rapunzel.

They had lots of fun looking for Mickey ghosts.

The family, well Jamison reallly, had fun riding Small World.

Mickey's party sure was exhausting!

Disneyland October 2013 Day 1

Once again, we took the girls to Disneyland for Mickey's Halloween Party in October.   Before we got to do trick-or-treating on Friday night, we spent time at the park having fun.  Before we left the hotel, however, the girls modeled their Halloween dresses.

Then, it was off to the park.  The first stop was seeing some of the characters.  Mickey Mouse was first.

Then, the girls stopped to see Donald Duck.

Pluto was up next.

Then, came Chip and Dale.

The girls also got to see Minnie Mouse.

It was certainly a busy morning on main street!

We also made it over to see the princesses during the morning.

After that, we went over to Tom Sawyer island. This was a first for the girls and us.  The girls certainly had a fun time exploring.

Jamison loved playing with the treasure.

After a fun day at the park, it was time to head back to the hotel to get ready for Mickey's Halloween party!

a trip to Napa

When Jenny and Brent were out in California, Jim and I went with them to Napa for the day.  Our first stop was Jarvis, where we did a cave tour and tasting.

Jarvis had a beautiful pond with lily pads and frogs!

Jarvis also has a variety of grapes that you can taste off of the vine.

Later in the day, we enjoyed lunch at Domaine Carneros.
