Two Special Trips



This month, our family got two extra special treats: free trips to Disneyland and Sea World! It was Z's first time at both parks, so we loved getting to share the fun with her!

A earned the Disneyland tickets after marching in a Christmas parade with the Marine Band. The parade ("The 29th Annual Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade") was filmed in November and will air on ABC on Christmas morning at 9:00 AM. Be sure to check it out; you'll likely see A in the front rank!
Z has become a big fan of many classic Disney films, so it was fun seeing her recognize characters on the rides and enjoy this special place. Flying with Dumbo was a must!



 Tea Time! One of Z's favorites that we rode more than once.










It's always extra special to be at Disneyland during Christmastime with all the beautiful lights at night (although this photo does not do it justice)!



Caught red-handed with the infamous popcorn.



It was a fantastic day and Z was such a great girl, despite skipping the nap. One of her favorite rides of the day was Pirates of the Caribbean, another we had to go on twice. She's still talking about that ride!

Then a few weeks later,  Z made some new friends at Sea World. Some of her favorites were the dolphins, seals, and penguins.









Then Z discovered some of the rides. Thanks to the small crowds that day, we went on these a few times without having to wait in lines.


Waiting to ride the Sky Tower. 


Definitely another fun day! Thanks to Sea World for the free tickets for military families!
