Girls only

Natalie and I went on a date this afternoon, just the two of us.  It was sort of spur-of-the-moment...I only decided to do it about 30 minutes before Sarah arrived.  We had a great time, and started the trip with a cryptic picture sent to Tom of Natalie sitting on the tram that said, "Where am I?"  He guessed wrong, then I sent him this picture, which gave it away.

We started our visit with Natalie's favorite ride, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.  As we arrived at 2 p.m., it looked like people were lining up to meet characters, and sure enough, after we were done with the ride, Tigger and Eeyore were meeting guests.  The line wasn't too long, so we waited and met Natalie's favorite Pooh character (Tigger...she's had Tigger since she was a baby) and my favorite Pooh character (Eeyore...nope, no Eeyores in this house...yet).

She was very shy meeting Tigger, but seemed to warm up to the idea by the time it was our turn to meet Eeyore.

Besides meeting the characters and riding the Pooh ride twice, we rode the carousel, Dumbo, Alice 'n Wonderland, Peter Pan, Tea Cups, and Small World.  Whew!  That was a tiring afternoon!

Excuse me, I have to brag.  I spent $0 at Disneyland today.  The passes are paid for, the parking is paid for, and I brought snacks and drinks.  Now I don't feel so tired!

I'm so glad Natalie was feeling well enough to head out for a special day with her mommy! I am soooo jealous that you live that close to the happiest place on earth!
