More Disneyland...

Crowds were pretty thin Monday morning at D-land.  (cricket sound effects here).  Seriously, we just got there when they first opened, and were roped off before the mad rush to Sleeping Beauty's Castle. 
Here's our family waiting for the park to open....  Ready, set, run, ride, run...
After flying on Peter Pan, we visited Dumbo the Elephant.  Eden was really happy to be on the "pink one!" Daddy was ok with it too.  He's got a handle on his masculinity.
Quinton was also OK with riding a yellow Dumbo.  Like father, like son...
Up, up and away!
The boys and I jumped on the Matterhorn. Too bad, I came off with a headache!  It was a real one too, I didn't even have to fake it, Jon!
There is always a parade at Disneyland.  Today's parade was a mother duck and her ducklings.  So cute! Jon was scrambling for his shotgun.
Eden waiting for her brothers and daddy on Indiana Jones.  Doesn't she look great on that fake rock???

Winnie the Pooh
and Eeyore, too!
(A new favorite of Eden's)
Pooh's honey stash!
Eden meets Mickey.  
It was the most darling moment!  We had a private room with Mickey and she walked right into his arms!  Awe, she then said, "It's nice to meet you!"
(FYI:  Eden is a serious Mickey and Minnie fan.  She's seen them at Disney on Ice and on TV.  Before we left home she dressed up in her Minnie dress and watched them on TV over and over and over and... Meeting them were the highlights of Eden's Disney trip!!!)
The family posing with Disney's poster child -
Mickey Mouse!
Again, soooo darling!  Eden hugged Minnie Mouse so tight and repeated her greeting, "It's nice to meet you!"
Minnie signed Eden's autograph book:
"Eden, Welcome to my house, Minnie Mouse"
After meeting her Minnie placed her hand on my arm and gestured at me with both hands over her heart and leaned towards Eden.  Minnie had felt the love! It was a perfect parental moment!

Toone Town
We ended the day with a visit to the Downtown Disney Lego store.  It was Quinton's favorite shopping spot.  Here he is with a life sized Darth Vadar!
Cool!!!
