Big Girl Day at Disneyland

Ryan and I spent a hot, hot sweaty day at Disneyland... just the two of us. Ryan wanted to be able to try some "big girl" rides that Charlie is not quite ready for yet! We had a great time being "big girls!" Just in time for our big girl to start Kindergarten! Wow, time flies!

In line for the Matterhorn! Ryan was scared silly but later professed that she wanted to do it again! I was so proud of her.



After the Matterhorn, we went on Alice in Wonderland (Ryan needed some time to let her heart stop beating so fast... LOL)


Then we were off to the other side of the park to get in line for Splash Mountain! She got a little nervous so we went on the Haunted Mansion first (Charlie does NOT like the Haunted Mansion so usually can't go on that one when she is with us). After the Haunted Mansion, we took the plunge on Splash Mountain (nice pun,huh? LOL). Well, after waiting in line for 85 minutes! Luckily we were in line with some great people to help the time go by faster.

And we called Daddy and others to keep us busy!

We were in line behind some Italian Foreign Exchange students who LOVED Ryan. They all talked to her and played silly games with her.

And... behind us in line was another little girl. Ryan and Penny became fast friends! What luck! The 85 minutes was a little easier to bear.


We loved our "Big Girl" day at Disneyland.

Looks like Mommy & Ryan had a lot of fun killing time on the rides. And, what a nice Mommy to have a special day with her big girl daughter. Love - Mom
