Our one year anniversary! April 28, 2010

It's so hard to believe it's already been one year since we brought Mika home and we became a new family! We celebrated our one year anniversary on April 28th by taking a trip to Tokyo Disney. It was so much fun to see Mika's reaction to everything, and to see Max explain all about Disneyland to her.
David and I also celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in April, so it
was a double celebration family trip. Disneyland was deserted for the first three days we were there. If you look thru the window behind Max, you can see how empty the parking lot was. We were riding the Disney monorail and it felt like we had the park to ourselves.....then on the fourth day, the Japanese holiday "golden week" started. It was absolutely crazy and packed with people. Luckily, that was the day we went home to Okinawa, so our timing was perfect!

Max and Mika rode Dumbo first! She loved it.

Mika put the flower napkin ring on her head!

We went to a polynesian dinner show.











Max got called on stage to dance. It was hysterical!!

Mika met Cinderella and was speechless......for a moment.

She told Cinderella, "Cinderella is Mika favorite."

Max rode the Star Wars ride by himself and we waited for him at the exit. Mika was very excited to see him!

We enjoyed seeing the electric light parade.

This was the view from our hotel room on the fourth day when Golden Week started. People were running into the park!

We stayed at the Disney Sea hotel. We had a "triple room" wth three beds. I love this room! We could see the monorail from our room.

Mika watched a Disney movie in the lobby while we checked out. She's 3rd from the left.

Time to go home......

Look at the bicycle parking lot! Alot of people in Tokyo ride bikes.

We bought this Cinderella doll for Mika at the Disney store and surprised her when we got home. She was VERY surprised.
