The Four Fullers: Disneyland...Part Two!!!

I often wonder if Sydney has been sprinkled with pixie dust, because she has now been to Disneyland twice in the last six months. Although the recent trip was the result of a work trip, I still consider her a very lucky little girl.

Again, Sydney loved all of the rides. Since Karen physically isn't a resilient 'circular' rider, dad was the recipient of many rides. This resulted in no fewer than four Carousel rides, three Tea Cup rides, and two Astro Orbiter rides. All were rides that went round and round, and most were experienced with a little blond girl yelling "faster...faster!" While I had no control over the actual speed of the carousel and other rides, I did have some impact on the Tea Cups. The more I would bear down and use my monstrous biceps to spin our cup faster, the m,ore Sydney would just laugh and laugh with excitement.On this trip, Sydney got to meet a number of characters, some of the same and some different than in January. This trip's list included Tinkerbell, Iridessa, Pluto, Rapunzel, and Flynn Ryder. She saw many others in passing. As excited as she was to meet them, she got shy with each character (probably a factor of her age). I'm sure she'll break out of that stage soon.

Not surprising, Sydney (as well as Karen), was willing to throw away femininity and show that they were certainly not shy when it came to park food. That's right, Disneyland ice cream bars and churros stood no change once in the path of these two...he he! But honestly, who doesn't love those things. Each meal and refreshing treat seemed to give everyone a little boost and willingness to be in the next line.

Outside the parks (Disneyland and California Adventure), Sydney enjoyed some time in the pool as well as performing one of her favorite activities....elevator button-pushing. All in all, a great few days with many fun memories!

Just a future note for Sydney-just remember your daddy stood in the searing heat for 40 minutes, risking heat stroke, keeping a place in line so that you could meet Rapunzel :)
