Saturday was Kennedy's first experience with Disneyland. I can't definitively say that she had fun, but I don't think she didn't. :) She had some nap issues and was really tired, but she was a trooper and let us have a lot of fun. She was tired even when we got there since it was nap time.
Wyatt on the other hand was excited and ready to go! He was a smiley boy in his cute Tigger outfit while we waited for grandpa to come back with tickets.
Here's grandpa with Kennedy and Wyatt at the entrance to Disneyland. We had to get a picture with the Mickey flowers. But by this point we were ready to go get on some rides.
First stop: Dumbo. We didn't want the line to get too long, and we only had to wait about 30 minutes, which was great.
Kennedy had a good time with the air blowing in her face just like I knew she would. She loves wind and liked the wind that was in her face during the ride.
After that we headed down to Splash Mountain, but it broke down on us twice during the day, so some people didn't get to ride it. We of course went on all of the big rides: Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones, Pirates, and Haunted Mansion. After the lights came back up in the elevator going down, Kennedy started clapping. I think she liked Haunted Mansion best out of all the rides she went on. Here is an appropriately scared but clapping picture in the elevator.
She finally fell asleep right before we got in line for Pirates. Poor Brett was tired from carrying her around, and she was exhausted too.
We weren't able to do as much as we would have liked - I didn't realize how much having kids slows you down at a place like that. But we had a great time nonetheless! Considering that we went on a plane and to Knott's Berry Farm the day before and didn't get home until almost midnight that night, Kennedy was great. And I think she had as much fun as a 10 month old can have at Disneyland. I certainly loved watching her there and can't wait to take her back!

thats so great! the haunted mansion & jungle cruise were both not working when we went. BUMMER. 2 rides that I COULD ride, werent operating. Sounds like a fun day!
I'm glad you had such a great time! It's true some things are just a little harder with kids but its so fun to watch them experience new things! Shes so cute in the picture clapping her hands!
From the pictures you wouldn't have guessed that she was at the happiest place on earth, but I'm glad you had fun. How fitting that the haunted mansion was her favorite-- like mother, like daughter.
I would have loved to see her on the Dumbo ride. She really liked Haunted Mansion? That's so interesting. :)
Glad you had so much fun! Sounds like a great party in CA. Kennedy is so cute.
We just got back from Chicago with my sister, bro-in-law, and niece. I realized how different life is with children, both the good and the bad.
