Cael's First Trip to Disneyland: Cael's Favorite Ride

"My favorite ride at Dismeland was Star Tours.

My favorite character at Star Tours was Yoda.

I liked R2D2 and C3PO.

I liked our spaceship with R2D2.

We saw Chewbacca on the screen.

C3PO and R2D2 drived the spaceship.

We went to some planets.

I liked it. We went on it 3 times."

Cael's First Trip to Disneyland: Smoochin'

There was a whole lotta kissin' going on

during our trip

(and I'm not talking about Mom & Dad).

Cael kissed Mater...

...and Lightning McQueen.

Minnie kissed Cael...

...and Pinocchio kissed Mom.

Woo-woo!

Cael's First Trip to Disneyland: Seeing the Characters

Cael was most excited to see his characters,

as he calls them.

He just grinned as he met each one

and had him/her autograph his book.

His pure joy was contagious.

Meeting Buzz was one of our favorites.

Not only did he give Cael a high 5 and knuckles,

but he danced with Dad and Cael.

It was awesome!

The first Buzz picture shows them all dancing.

Look! Goofy is even taller than Dad.

Cael's First Trip to Disneyland: Some Highlights

February 18-21, 2013

Eagerly awaiting entrance

The Teacups

Mom & Dad were elated to eat a Ghirardelli hot fudge sundae at California Adventure.
Cael also seemed to enjoy the delectable treat.

Cael's face is the best.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Cael loves all holidays and awaits them in great anticipation. We have to make a sign or buy one for each special day,

and he looks at the calendar to see when the day will arrive.

Valentine's Day is no exception.

We have had our sign up,

he got his Valentine Mr. Potato Head early,

we made and decorated sugar cookies,

bought special paper plates,

and waited for February 14th to roll around...

When it finally did, the excited boy awoke early, ready for play group that got cancelled, delivered cookies with Mom, and got some balloons.

Then, it all caught up to him, and he fell asleep to dream of the next holiday, St. Patrick's Day...

Our Valentine Table

The note Cael typed for his dad while we were at the high school today.

Go Spectra!

I wonder why there is a countdown to Holbrook...

Cael put this on my phone,
although he didn't quite finish the thought.

Could it be the Harry Potter glasses from Grandma?

How about the cotton candy in the Flagstaff Mall?

It could be the Target trip...

Or just hanging out at Aunt Kirsti's.
(Cael is wearing his wrestling shirt to support
Garrett and the other Redskins wresters
who were at State that weekend.)

Perhaps it is the constant love and attention he gets from so many who love him. That and the slippers Aunt Sarah got him. He is one lucky little guy.
