Caitlin's Column: Day 1: The Happiest Place on Earth

Allison and I have been waiting for this trip for months! It's hard to top going to Disneyland with your best friend! What an awesome day we had! Allison and I both took naps in the park and stayed awake to watch the new water show in the evening! Both Allison and I had the sniffles and a little cough, but that didn't stop us from having a great day! There are a lot of photos below for you to browse! We posted them in order so you can see how our day went! Enjoy the photos and stayed tuned for the next two days that are full of photos too!

Just a little danish to jump start our morning at Disneyland!

I am ready too!

Three generations of Hurleys ready for a day at Disneyland! Uncle Paul hasn't been here in 14 years so he is excited just like me!

Walking on Main Street with Uncle Paul

I loved smelling the beautiful flowers throughout the park

Happy Halloween from the whole gang!

While we bought Mickey Mouse ears and churros, Nina Nina Dia and Nino Joe took time to read the newspaper! Such a fun photo!

Yummy churro

Snapped a quick photo of Allison in her Mickey ears before she took them off

Nana and Nina Nina Dia wore our ears for us!

Our second ride of the day! This is Nana's and my favorite ride! I can sing the song for you if you'd like.

Anxiously waiting our turn to ride the boat

The world traveler's on our own boat!

Can you see that my hands were up high as we started to climb the first hill of the roller coaster?

Me and Daddy after the ride. When asked if I liked it I said, "I do not like it. I do not like it."

Mommy and Me on the carousel. This is one of my favorite rides!

There are beautiful flowers everywhere! This pretty flower was near Casey Jr.'s circus train ride and the bees were definitely attracted to it!

Allison excited to ride the circus train

Uncle Kenny, Nana, and Me rode the monkey car

After lunch we rode the Pirate's of the Caribbean. This is Daddy's favorite ride, but I always seem to be sleepy no matter what time of day we ride it!

Allison fell asleep on the ride and took a little nap in her stroller

Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Paul, Grandpa Corkey, Grandpa Gary, Grammy Linda, Aunt Stacie, and Uncle Kenny rode Splash Mountain while Allison took a nap. Mommy and Daddy were pretty wet after the ride!
