Disneyland!
We decided that while Brian was still in California that we should celebrate the girls Birthday's since he was going to miss Brooke's. And what better place to celebrate than Disneyland!
The only thing Brooke wanted out of the whole day was to see Cinderella. So we waited in the Princess line FOREVER. Seriously for like 2 hours. And there was no guarantee that she would be there at the end. They only keep three Princesses in there at a time, and they rotate them out. But the girls and even Tanner and Garenn were excited to see some Princesses so they were surprisingly pretty good during that long wait.

With that stare of death look that she's giving though I don't think she needed any protection. 
The boredom is setting in now.
"I'm a Pwincess!" A lot of the girls standing in line were dressed as Princesses. So Tanner decided that the chain was his tiara and that was good enough for him.
We lucked out and there was a guy in line with us that was a professional yo yoer...I'm serious now. He had a holster on his belt and everything. Apparently he does a lot of kids birthday parties so he entertained the kids for awhile and they loved it! I'm not gonna lie, I thought it was pretty cool too.
Tanner LOVED Princess Tiana. He kept telling her "I'm three years old!" When we walked away she yelled "Bye Mr. three years old!" and he got so excited he ran back and said "Hey! What's your name?!" Then she yelled back "Tiana!" It was so cute.
There's Belle! Brooke's other favorite. (Not the prettiest Belle though. *wink wink* Jen)
My Dad had been saving up his change for the girls to roll and he let them use it to buy something special that they wanted at Disney. Ever since Garenn visited us at Easter and brought his Pluto pillow, Ava has been obsessed with it. He let her sleep with it and she was very sad when he took it home.

When Ava and I were walking back from the bathroom at some point in the day, she spotted that those Pluto pillows in a little shop and she freaked the heck out. She was so excited. She bawled crying when I had to drag her away from them to go get the money so we could actually buy one. Here she is paying for her "Poodoh."
Brooke wanted to see Cinderella so bad but we never found her. Luckily she was happy with visiting the Bippity Boppity Boutique just inside of Cinderella's castle. She got to pick out something to spend her money from Grandpa on and she picked glass slippers. She's convinced they are real glass and she loves them to pieces.

Thanks for the memories!
This was a rattle snake. Ava was standing there talking baby talk to it like it was a cute cuddly Koala Bear or something. It was like it was responding to her because it uncurled itself and stood up against the glass and stared at her. 
On our way out, there was a fire truck in the parking lot. Ava was beyond excited. On the way in we had seen two school buses parked by our car and those are her favorite (after trains of course). Her third favorite is fire trucks. She was more excited about the buses and fire truck than anything else we saw that day.
