DiSnEyLaNd!!!

Okay, so Mike and I decided to bite the bullet (financially, that is) and take all the rug rats to Disneyland. We decided to drive there to save a little money, which in theory is a good idea, but I was nervous about taking a 10 hour car ride with all the boys. So we did a lot of preparation. Between 6 different DVD's, 2 iphones, 1 ipod touch, and 1 nintendo DS they were fairly entertained. (For the most part.)

Disneyland itself was a blast! I can't believe what dare devils Brandon & Ethan are. They must have ridden California Screamin' 15 times during the 3 days we were there. They also loved The Tower of Terror and Space Mountain. Jonah's favorite though, was Soarin' . He couldn't get enough of it. We also discovered that Jonah is nowhere close to a dare devil. The pictures that were taken while he was riding Splash Mountain and Space Mountain show a boy experiencing complete and utter terror! Luke loved going on Buzz Lightyear and the Carousel. My favorite ride was Peter Pan which, I know, is a "kiddie ride". But for me it's nostalgic. It's one of the rides from when the park first opened and I still remember it from my first Disneyland trip when I was a kid. There is just something magical about it.

During this trip we also got a chance to see my sister Mindy and her family, who live in Rancho Cucamonga. The boys loved playing with cousins they only see maybe once or twice a year. Thanks for showing us a good time Min'!

Lastly, I want to thank my husband for being such a great Dad. For driving us all out there, for forkin' out the dough, for hauling around 2-year-olds and strollers and backpacks, for changing diapers in a men's public bathroom, for keeping his cool when Mom was about to lose hers, and for being the Captain of our wild and zany crew. I love you, babe.
