Hello again! I haven't posted much over the last couple of years between our first family trip and this upcoming one! My husband and I were able to visit Disneyland last summer for a long weekend in July as an early Anniversary celebration (sans kiddos!) but I didn't do a trip report for that. We had a great time though, rode tons of rides, ate lots of great food, I got horribly sunburnt... Totally worth it though, it was fun to experience Disney without constantly keeping track of our girls!
Our first family trip was back in May of 2015 - just after the start of the 60th anniversary celebrations! The link to the TR for that is in my signature if you would like to check it out We celebrated my oldest and youngest's 6th and 3rd birthday (they share a birthday), so it was a given that our next trip fall around our middle daughter's birthday.
More trip details coming soon...first, updated introductions!
I'm C, and my husband is A. We've been married for a little over 9 years! We live in Anchorage, AK but are both from the Seattle, WA area! He works in the aviation industry and serves in the military reserves. I'm a stay at home mom. He's a fan of listening to music (especially records), loves cars, loves technology, and tolerates my Disney obsession quite well ;-) I love reading, photography, nail polish, and all things Disney and Harry Potter.
Our oldest daughter is H, she turned 8 this past May and just started 3rd grade! She's a natural leader and very compassionate and caring. She loves pineapples (both as a print/pattern and to eat), animals - especially giraffes, drawing, creating things with perler beads, and playing Minecraft and board games with her sisters. Her favorite princesses are Rapunzel, Belle, and Elsa. Her favorite colors are orange, purple and yellow. She's most looking forward to riding Splash Mountain and the Matterhorn again, plus Peter Pan (since it was closed last time we went) and eating a Dole Whip. Because Pineapple. Naturally!
Our middle daughter is M, she'll be turning 7 on our trip and is in 1st grade this year! She is our more quiet and calm child who loves learning, and can often be found making up stories with her dolls. She loves all things pink and princesses. As well as flamingoes, butterflies, and wearing skirts and dresses (the only jeans she wears are ones with hearts printed all over them). Her favorite princesses are Aurora, Ariel, and Snow White. She loves Pink. Her favorite ride last time was Haunted Mansion and she can't wait to ride again and see it with the NBC overlay.
Our youngest daughter, S, is 5 and in Kindergarten. She's our little spitfire with energy for days, endless determination (and she's stubborn, oh so stubborn, lol) and has a sense of adventure and comedic timing that gives me Facebook status updates all year long ;-) She's a big fan of Unicorns. She loves being in the water and would take 5 baths a day if we let her, and she enjoys doing whatever her older sisters are doing. Her favorite princesses are Belle, Cinderella, and Tiana. She loves the color aqua blue. She's most looking forward to riding all of the big rides that she wasn't tall enough for last time. For our last trip she was only 36", this time she'll just be at the 42" mark so bring on the mountains and the river ;-)
I'll get into more details about our trip in my next post, but here's a recent pic of the girls from our trip to Seattle last month! It's rare that I get them all to pose together these days, but got this during a trip to the beach - loving their crazy wind blown hair!

Looking forward to sharing our memories with you all!!!
