Disneyland at Night

Since we got our passes, we’ve been wanting to head to Disneyland in the evening to see everything lit up.  One Saturday we headed over as soon as it was getting dark and said we’d stay out until Kenz pooped out. 

Kenz napped on the way there and woke as soon as we got there.

My poor little girl was tired, but already looking at all the lights.

We got in and went straight to Fantasyland.  We were told Fantasyland was going to close soon due to the fireworks so we quickly jumped on the Carousal, Storybook Canals and the Casey Jr Train.  When we had headed into Fantasyland, one of the cast members mentioned going by Small World to watch the fireworks.  Kenz seemed to be ok so we headed over there once we were done with the rides.

We watched the fireworks, a surprise treat as we didn’t think we’d be there that late.  Then after fireworks, the park has “snow”, tons of bubbles.  Kenz wasn’t too happy about the fireworks, but loved the bubbles.  We headed out after that.  I’m so happy we got in one night trip with these passes!

A Random Weekend

Jeff went out of town for the weekend one November, it was the longest time he spent away from Kenz and the longest I’ve been alone with just her. 

I took lots of pictures that weekend to send to Jeff and below are a few.  Kenzie learned how to climb up her toy bins, all while holding a DVD.

That weekend she also started to throw full out temper tantrums, complete with laying down and licking the floor.  At one point she picked up her play phone and started having a conversation with “dada”.

Right before Jeff left, we picked her up a Merida costume which she insisted on wearing for most of the weekend.  Jeff came home to glitter everywhere!

We missed Jeff but was happy he got to get away for the weekend!

Happy Halloween!

This Halloween Kenzie was now a little older and we were hoping she’d have fun going door to door to get some sweets.  We normally just pass out candy and our neighborhood is usually pretty quiet so we headed down to our friends’ house to join in their trick or treating.

Can you tell who Kenz is?  Doc McStuffins!  One of her favorite cartoon characters. 

We hit up maybe 4-5 houses and then decided to head back a little earlier than the group.  Kenz didn’t really get the whole concept and kept trying to go into the homes when the residents opened their doors.

I think next year we may go to a church harvest festival so she can play games and get candy too!  Especially since we’ll have a another little munchkin with us.

Amy’s Farm Pumpkin Patch

This year I really wanted to go to a big pumpkin patch so Kenzie could run around and have fun.  But before we could head out to the pumpkin patch, we had a birthday to attend!

My friend’s daughter was turning six and it was a costume party.  Kenzie wore a hand-me-down Snow White dress that was worn by 3 of my 4 nieces.  Loved that it got so much use!

 

After the party, Crystal called and mentioned Amy’s Farm had free pumpkins for the first 50 people.  We decided to head over there to see if we were lucky.  Unfortunately all the free pumpkins were gone but they were so much more cheaper, we decided to stay and buy our pumpkins here.

 

Kenzie really enjoyed picking up the pumpkins and then THROWING them!  Kid.

 

I made Jeff promise that we could go to the big pumpkin patch next year!  We’ll see if we make it there with 2 kiddos in tow!

One more Solano

About a month after we got our passes, we finally convinced Shannon to get one too!  We knew she couldn’t resist missing out on special moments with her nieces.  These are from a couple of visits in October.

      

When my phone uploads pictures to Google Plus, it sometimes adds effects to them.  I like it!

 

One of the benefits of going so early in the morning is that we made the cut off to get fast passes to me Anna and Elsa from Frozen.  The literally run out of passes like 30 mins after the park opens and that’s all the pass out for the entire day.
