Disneyland

Philip and Tirzah took us to Disneyland on Wednesday. The weather was beautiful, and Raquel really loved it. Thanks Oupa and Ouma!

One of our first glimpses of Mickey Mouse.

Snow White's Scary Ride (or White Snow according to Raquel:)

Train ride
Knocking on what she thought was the door to Mickey's house.
For some odd reason Raquel is in love with Mickey. She's never really heard about him until we started talking about going to Disneyland a few weeks ago. Once we got there she would not rest until she got to hug him and talk to him (it was NOT enough to see him from a distance.) Once she got to meet with him, she started sobbing when she had to leave.

Waiting in line for the carousel

I waited in line for almost two hours so we could get these pictures. Raquel wanted to see Cinderella, so I waited in this line to see what we thought would be all the princesses. After an hour and forty five minutes I found out that there are only three, and Cinderella wasn't even one of them! Raquel wasn't too devastated, and we settled for Ariel, Mulan and Snow White. I do not agree with the parents I spoke to when I started waiting in the line who told me how long the wait would be, and then said 'oh, but it's worth it!' :)

One last shot of Mickey
So much fun can be exhausting:)
