roo + disneyland

We had been planning on a trip to San Diego for a few months. We were going to keep it chill - maybe take Rooney to see the Wild Animal Park since I grew up going there, but after I miscarried I knew I needed Disneyland to help heal my heart and get out some of my madness (by, you know, doing all the things you shouldn't do while pregnant - like ride roller coasters!).

I was so excited to show my baby this magical place and it was just that - magical, dreamy, wonderful, and...crowded.

Luckily, we had Hannah with us which let us do Rider Switch - the greatest thing for groups with babies. Use it!

Toy Storia Mania!

Ferris Wheel

Rooney and I remained calm and cool while Hannah and Ashton...they were only a little afraid of that swinging cart.

Chew Chew Train

Ariels Undersea Adventure

CHURRO LOVE

Then we went to Disneyland for even more magic ( and way more crowds).

Rooney LOVED the jungle cruise

sweetest girl loving her cutest dad

her face after pirates <3 p="">

her reactions on the submarine were my favorite

tea cups!!!

carousel, made better only by Rooney's face

haunted mansion

leaving the park very tired

downing eggs at denny's - she was the happiest babe all day long!

*** We rode more rides than these pictures show, but I tried my best to enjoy the moment and not constantly have my phone out and I am glad I did. The whole day was wonderful. I will admit, I was discouraged by the crowd at Disneyland (and I know it really wasn't that bad) and it had me in a bad mood for a second (we didn't even get to ride Peter Pan!), but then I let it go. Next time, we will get to all the things we didn't get to this time and Rooney will love it all just as much, if not more!
