Today we went to DISNEYLAND!!!

John and Claire took us to Disneyland this afternoon...

Chase is eagerly anticipating the park...

Chase and John wait in line and ride the carousel...

Chase ate a churro and then passed out, but he held onto that churro!

After the nap, he had a bit of a melt down...

Then he was happy when we got the buzz lightyear straw...

Chase was in awe at the parade because he got to see all of his favorite characters in person!

We were able to take a photo with Mickey!

We went on the roger rabbit ride together!

Chase was finally happy with his goofy hat and light twirl mickey

We rode the It's a Small World ride!

We ended the night with fireworks. We had a blast!
