Puffer Post: Disneyland 2009

We took a trip to LA for one short fun filled weekend. We got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Heyman, Shosh and Josh. It was the first time we'd been back there since I was 1 month old. We got to go swimming and relax by the pool for the day. Then we headed to Encinitas where we celebrated Aunt Sandi's 60th surprise Bday party dinner. She was soooo surprised. Uncle Ryan did a great job planning such a big party. Then the next morning we headed to Disneyland to continue celebrating for Sandi's bday. We arrived at 9am and didn't leave till 12:30am. That's 17 hours!!!!! We went on TONS of rides, watched the fireworks show and Fantasmic, and Grandma Jill spoiled us with gifts and toys from Disneyland. We were soooo tired that we barely made it back to the car by the end of the day.
It was a fun and exhausting trip. Mom and Dad say that we probly won't be back to Disneyland for a while. I think they got their fill, and I think the fact that this is the only year both Faylen and I get in free has something to do with it. ;)

Happy Bday Sandi!

Faylen and I enthralled with the Star Wars show during lunch:

Fireworks at Disneyland (sorry it's a little dark)

It's A Small World After All (and it's almost midnight)

Faylen and Josh.....2 peas in a pod.
G-ma Susan refinished this old play rocking cradle that Granpa Jim made for mommy when she was a little girl. Now it's been passed down to Faylen. It's just perfect for her little baby dolls she's obsessed with. They kept joking about how after grandma had 3 boys she was so excited to have my mom so she could do girly things like play dolls. Apparently mom just used the cradle grandpa made to store and rock footballs. Mom never quite understood the whole baby doll thing. It took her forever to realize she needed to buy one for Faylen. Now Faylen has never been more content.

Click here to see the video of Faylen just after she opened her present of twin dolls and a double stroller from grandma Susan. It's pretty darn cute to see her instant natural instincts:

My new Nemo shirt and my new sword Grandma Jill got me at Disneyland.

Me in my nerdy swim suit. I feel like a geeky European or something, but when I wear it I can swim all around the pool all by myself! I love it! I'm helping grandpa put together my new T-Ball set he got me.
