A super busy, but wonderful Wednesday!

Today our family had a BIG day!! Our first stop was to see Lucas promote at La Mesa.He received a special award for his grades-- I am so proud of him!!Here he is receiving his diploma-- what a special thing to get to see. He will always be one of my favorite students and I'm so glad he includes me in these milestone moments!As soon as the ceremony ended we hopped into the car and headed to Disneyland!!!! On the road we passed a red cabbed semi truck and Libi yelled, "Mack!!!" I think we've been watching the Cars movie too much!!!!We were super excited to see Donald Duck for the first time today. Libs has been to Disneyland 31 times (as of today) and every time she asks to see Donald Quack Quack-- today her wish was granted!!!The characters were out in force today and we took advantage of it. We saw: Goofy,Mater and Lightening McQueen,Tink, Chip andDale.We also spent some time in DCA exploring some areas we don't regularly spend time in. We went to the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail to climb on things and explore. Libs was a bit unsure about the swinging bridge at first, but with Daddy's help walked all the way across!She also crawled (or scooted) all the way through the tunnel. Of course Jesse had to go in first to check it out, but once Daddy was on the other side she was motivated to go through.We had to wait a very, very long time to see Mickey Mouse! Jesse and Daddy filled the time so the wait wasn't unbearable! What happens when Daddy is called to First Aid to take care of a student??? Libi entertains herself by running, dancing and singing through the courtyard! I think she was just thrilled to be allowed some free time without having to hold someones hand!We did stay until the end of the night-- even though we weren't planning to. Libi had never seen Disneyland at night AND they were doing the very first preview of the summer fireworks show. She had never seen fireworks before and this seemed like the perfect chance. She never flinched-- loved every minute of it-- especially when Tinkerbell AND Dumbo flew!!! It was very exciting!!!
