Disneyland!

Well we made it back, although I was sad to leave (I may have cried on the drive home:). We spent a wonderful 5 days in the land of Disney, and California Adventure land, and had an absolute ball of a time! My parents came along with my brother Alex, my sister Catherine, and her two kiddos! I think our new favorite ride is The Grizzly River Run! Becca was brave and came along with us and got absolutely soaked and was grinning from ear to ear the whole time!

We had everything you would expect in the magical land of Disney, from toddler meltdowns, to no naps:) candy apples, cotton candy, staying out way too late, sleeping in, kids scared out of there minds on a ride you thought they might enjoy (ok just my kids on the haunted house ride). Watching the incredible firework show that again may have made me cry from sheer joy! What else did I miss......eating a whole huge turkey leg that was DELIS! Soaring over California was another very cool ride that yet again made me cry...you may conclude there was a lot of crying on this trip... all by me...one I am pregnant...two all the crying done on the trip was happy crying...when we left it was me acting like a 5 year old kid not wanting to leave sad crying, so all in all I would say the trip was worth every penny, and very memorable. I cannot wait to go back again with a new little munchkin in tow! :)

A few funny lines from Becca then to follow a million pictures....

-We had to explain to Becca that we had to go back home so dad could make more monies (money) so that we can come back again someday because the money ran out for this trip. Becca responded with this: "I have an idea, I know how to make money so while we drive home I will color and cut monies out so that we can come back to Disneyland! "

- We went out to eat one night at "Bubba Gump Shrimp" and they had this guy dressed up in a big pink shrimp costume. As we were driving back home Becca said "I really like shrimp alive and not dead, I think we should have that shrimp come home with us and let him come to Disneyland, he could use my ticket".

yeah - the Disneyland post! looks like everyone had a fabulous time...smiles all around :) I'm impressed with everything you did - both with the family & you yourself. I suppose we don't live in the day anymore where we sit by the side and watch others enjoy the fun while carrying a babe within...still, your energy level is awesome!

Wow, it looks like you had SUCH a fun trip. I can understand all the crying. Home is no where near as fun as D-land. Which is probably a good thing - we can only handle so much crying. P.S. Tell Becca to color some monies for me! It's a genius idea.

That's awesome! I love these pics. I need to go back there soon HECK...I live less than an hour away from there! HAHAH... I love Becca's idea as well. Catherine's new hair color is so fun. I've never seen her with anything less than blonde. ; ) Your fam is the best! Glad you had fun!

Looks like you had a wonderful trip! I just love Disneyland/world. No worries - I cry through the firework shows and I'm not prego. So basically you have nothing to be embarrassed over. ;) We need to hang out soon! I love you, doll!
