Evan's first trip to Disneyland

What a fun and busy summer it has been at this Lafko house! We started the summer by taking Evan's first Disneyland trip. It was so much more than we ever expected. Evan loved every minute of it. But his favorite has meeting all the characters. He would spot them from a mile away and immediately bring them to our attention. He always ran right up to them and gave us a big CHEESE!!! He did great on all the rides he went on but his favorite ride was the carousel. He had to ride it at least once a day. We went to Goofy's Kitchen one morning for breakfast and he was the star of the show. He danced with the best of them and was even Goofy's partner. It was such a special trip and we can't wait to take him back.
