Disneyland Paris

well, it was just a quick 45 min ride to get to disneyland paris and since Em is obsessed with the idea of wanting to go to disneyland everytime we talk about the next trip to plan...we decided we should take them. (many other reasons of course, but this seems the funniest at this moment)

We left gma and gpa to take care of themselves for day and ventured off.

we have arrived!

and the castle! yay!

teacups!

Em wanted to see characters...but since mommy said the princess pavilion line was too long...and then later when we returned to try again...it was closed. (bad move!) Alice was going to have to do.

and then we waited for an hour to see Mickey.....while Bret and Aidan went on rides...oh man. the things you do. we ARE at disney, and its a kid run place....so its all good. :)

Autotopia!

family picture...taken by a passerby. so glad I asked! this picture, so happy to have it to look back and remember this fun day!

waiting in lines

taking a break 

parade time....let the viewing of princesses begin....the only saving grace for missing the chance to see them in person! oy!

great day. much smaller than California, no signs to help you find your way, (interesting tid bit) but such a a fun family day out. kids were just in heaven and I think Em is pacified about going to California for a bit (thank goodness...bc I want to travel in Europe while we are here!) onto more of Paris.
