Disneyland

There HAS to be a blog entry for Sven's first trip to Disneyland! We took Sven to D-land for an early 6th Birthday present. The timing coincided with Erik's Uncle and Aunt's visit from Finland. We decided to visit both Anaheim and Vista for an early Thanksgiving family reunion.

Sven LOVED Disneyland - what kid wouldn't? We started with Flying Dumbo, but soon wandered over to the Matterhorn. We discovered that Sven is a Roller Coaster boy, so then we tried Thunder Mountain Railroad. He had a huge grin on his face when we were done. He also enjoyed the Holiday Haunted Mansion, Star Tours, Astro Orbiter (which scared me because I hate hieghts), and Space Mountain. Especially Space Mountain. We went back a second time on several of his favorites the next day.

The picture is from the Buzz Lightyear ride, where you can use a blaster to shoot at targets (to get more batteries apparently). Sven says that this is his favorite.
