the big trip

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

So there you have it, we went to Disneyland over spring break…I had full intention to write a lovely little note, and put witty little captions under every photo, giving you an idea as to what we did and why the heck I put some of these seemingly random images in here, but, you know what?  I just don’t have the wherewithal right today, and there are many of you that have waiting to see some pics of our journey.  You can click on the images one by one if you want them nice and big on your screen….

Here is a quick run-down on highlights -

1.  The big “reveal” – we surprised the kids early Sunday morning with the news that our trip to Seattle, which is amazing enough, was actually simply a pit stop before flying to D-land

2.  Holding my kids hands for hours on end every single day

3.  Observing my children experience something truly wonderful and exciting every day for a week

4.  Spending individual time with each of my kids

5.  Seeing my lovely friend Tracy who I have known since I was 4

6.  Being in the warm sun

7.  Fireworks – best eva.

8.  Peter loving rollarcoasters

9.  Emily not loving the princesses

10.  Cale loving the ferriswheel

11.  Grinning at Dave  every day at all the fun we were having

Interesting….

1.  Lots of strollers – everywhere

2.  Lots of people with “extra baggage”, if you get my dirft

3.  Lots of people really do walk around all day with mouse ears….

4.  There is a gift shop for every breath you take

5.  In said gift shops are many many pins and fidge magnets

6.  Apparently honeymooners in disneyland make out ALOT while in line for rides….

7.  Disneyland is a MACHINE.

8.  My kids loved the grizzly river run so much we practially lived on it for two days

9.  My kids also really really loved exploring Tom Sawyer’s island – really did not see that coming

10. Mmmmm…. churros…..

11.  Losing a red-headed 7 year old child is apparently really easy and  was also the worst 4 minutes of my whole vacation.
