Ippssy Eggos
My name is David Le. I'm married to Geneva, the son of Hoang and Tuyet Le, the brother to Ian and Christina, and father to Sydney. My inspiration for starting off this blog was for Geneva and I to write our thoughts, experiences, and learnings in some place. Geneva and I were expecting our first child in Nov'06 and we hoped that this blog would help our kids to get some perspective on who we were and what life was like as started our family. Why Ippssy Eggos? You'll find out.

Day 2: Night Riders
Sydney and Logan had a blast riding in the front cockpit of the monorail.
Uncle Ian and I went on the Indiana Jones ride (i hate riding front right) switching turns with Auntie Katherine and Mommy.
The fireworks were a little too loud for the kids, but we were able to sneak in more "Its a Small World" and "Autotopia" time. :)
Logan's favourite rides were the Toy Story ones. He's FAVOURITE saying was "I SHOOT THE BAD GUYS!" hahahaha.
Day 3: Princess Fantasy Fair
The highlight of Sydney's trip. On Day 3, we lined up first thing in the morning in Main St. Daddy sprinted to the Princess Fantasty Fair as soon as the rope was lifted, with mommy just behind pushing the stroller. On average, it was a 90 minute wait line to do a meet and greet with three princesses. We were lucky enough to meet with Belle, Ariel and Tiana.
Afterwards, Sydney got her princess face paint done as well. A great start to the day.

Day 2: An afternoon with Caden and Sam
After a morning of scouting out the lines at Princess Fantasy Fair (more to follow, serious scouting reports of the line up... 95 minute wait!), riding through Fantasyland again (morning teacups, no lines - Dumbo, etc), and eating at Big Thunder Ranch Barbeque (hmmm... more barbq meat for the morning congee) - we hooked up with Ian, Kath, Caden and Sam for the afternoon.
We strolled through Frontierland first:
- It was tough to get a photo of all the four kids together (between a mistimed Logan diaper change, Sam looking the wrong way, and just getting them to stand still).
- The kids stood front and center on the top floor of Mark Twain's Steamboat.
- Sydney (after her successful take on Gadget's Go Coaster), Geve and Katherine took her on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad... when i saw her after the ride she looked shellshocked. Too fast, too rickety, too much light and dark contrast...oh well. She was almost scared off of roller coasters forever (no Space Mountain this trip) - thank goodness we have that other video.
Off to Tomorrowland, where Katherine and Ian educated us on the value of Switch Passes and ReAdmission Passes.
- Buzz Light AStro Blasters was a Logan favourite, or as Geneva and him would call it, the ride where Logan goes and says "I shoot the BAD GUYS!"
- We bypassed the huge line at Finding Nemo thanks to Ian having a ReAdmisson Pass. Three years ago Sydney FREAKED out when she was on it. In these photos, she's still less than impressed. Logan thought it was ok, but i had to cover his eyes during the scary parts.
After Monorails back and forth between naps, it was off for a night of teacups, dumbo, and autopia. And yes, daddy did somehow manage to ditch the car at autopia. And of course, our first ride on "It's a Small World"... that was the all-time Sydney and Logan favourite... even more than teacups.
So much fun.
