An Evening on Main Street

This is a warning! 

This blog is for Gramma's, Aunties, maybe some Grandpa's, and people that like 

small children and puppies!

I'm sure that doesn't sound like much fun to spend a summer evening on Main Street, but wait, it was Main Street at Disneyland! With a one-year old and a two-year old!! 

 First we got them safely in their car seats,

and then we had to make sure everyone stayed happy until we got there!

 Time for the first "posed" pictures! Wiley had it down!

Hurry, gramma, we're waiting for the fun part to start!

At least there was a gate to climb on...

 ...while waiting for the train at Main Street Station.

Yes, that is my hand bag around Papa's neck. Yes, we are officially Old!

Finally, aboard the train

We rode the train around the park and ended up right back where we started, Main Street!

How cute is he!!

Such a big boy!

Watching and listening to the Disneyland National Collegiate All-Star Band

Ivan was really feeling the music and the audience really loved his moves!

He got as close as he could get to the band

 

They were amazing, but Ivan stole the show with his moves!

Our fun for the night was watching them perform!

We walked up Main Street, ate some dinner, walked back down Main Street and headed for the car, with a brief stop to watch the fireworks from Downtown Disney. Forty-five minutes later, we arrived at the car. We got both of the boys in their jammies and headed home. It took four hours to accomplish all of the above!

I'm sure that isn't everyone's idea of the perfect evening, but we sure had a great time with the boys!

Wiley and Gramma take on Disneyland

What a fun day we had! I picked up Wiley and we headed for Disneyland. On the way, we called Great Gramma Dorothy to say Hi, but she wasn't home so we left her a message and told her that we missed her. As we were headed to the park, Wiley was planning out our day and we talked about what we wanted to do. After what seems like a lifetime to a two-year old, we arrived at Downtown Disney parking and headed for the park. 

Our first stop was the Monorail. The Blue Monorail was waiting for us when we arrived at the platform. We headed for the car and uh oh, someone else got Wiley's favorite spot, but we adapted and the adventure began.

Wiley was checking out the map and planning out our day. He decided he wanted to go to Small World first and spontaneously broke into a full rendition of "It's a Small World," to the delight of the people sharing our car!

On the way, a mommy duck and her ducklings were passing through

Waiting in line at Small World

Ready to go!

Here we go!

 Sorry, this is the only picture that turned out in Small World

Time for lunch

 

Wiley said "Gramma, I love you!" Aah, be still my heart!

Deep in thought!

What's taking so long, Gramma?

 

A stop at Tomorrowland Station

Autopia cars passing through

Time for a little Mickey treat on Main Street

Why is the fountain empty, Gramma?

Passing through Downtown Disney and headed for the car

We were there and gone in three hours! That is Disneyland Gramma style! We had a great time and on the way home, Wiley was making plans for what we are going to do on our next trip.
