Disneyland Day 1, Friday 2/13

Here we are in front of the main gate entrance to Disneyland
Carter makes his Disneyland debut!!!
And he fell asleep 30 seconds after I put him in his stroller, so he slept through his first walk down Main Street
Excited for rides... heading to Tomorrow Land first.

We decided to have lunch at the Tomorrow Land Terrace so we could watch the Jedi Training Academy show... both my kids love Star Wars, and they both were selected to be apart of the show. They were thrilled...and it was the highlight of the trip

Cristian was about the 13th picked out of 20 kids, and he was front/center stage right by the Jedi Master.
Ava was the 20th out 20 kids to get picked, she was beyond excited.
C gets his Light saber
Learning how to be a Jedi
Listening and practicing very intently
Ava too =)
about 1/3 of the 20 kids picked got a chance to fight Darth Vader... C was not afraid!
And little Ava was the last person to get to fight Darth... and she marched up there and fought her little heart out and defeated him!!
She was very proud of herself because Darth tried to trick her into joining the dark side of the Force... but she would not join him.

C learning how to fight like a Jedi

All the kids in the Training Academy (Ava front/center, Cristian front/center stage)
Waiting their turn to fight Darth Vader
Cristian ready to face Darth
Seriously the cutest thing ever... she was by far the youngest person chosen... I don't know many 2 year old girls (almost 3) who wouldn't have been afraid to do what she did. And she LOVED it!
The rain started shortly after lunch...
Posing in the rain before leaving Disneyland to head to California Adventure.
Ava enjoying her churro all wrapped up in a poncho.
Waiting to have dinner at the Wine Country Trattoria in C.A. (Ava with her new Darth Goofy and C with his Star Wars gun)
