Disneyland

Our family on the ferris wheel

A highlight for Parker - meeting Buzz Lightyear - His costume really was very cool and real looking

Grayson absolute faves were the carousel and the Winnie the Pooh ride

The only picture Mark and I took together - copied from the ride on the roller coaster at CA Adventure - lame - why do we not take more pictures together?? Thank you to Aunt April for keeping track of all three boys so we could ride this together!!

We spent this past weekend in Disneyland celebrating my mother-in-law's 60th birthday with most of Mark's extended family. The boys remembered a lot and anticipated certain things because they were there for the first time last fall so it was super fun to see them so excited to go back. Davis loved the Matterhorn again. Parker said that the Matterhorn was his favorite but you should have seen how opposed he was to going on before we road. Glad he left it with good memories. In reality - I think his fave was Dumbo (he repeated asked for that ride and the line was SO SO long) and meeting some of his favorite characters - Buzz, Woody, Chip and Dale. Grayson didn't love the characters as much this visit. He was much more afraid of them but he LOVED the carousel. We definitely go our money's worth on that ride. He seriously probably rode it more than 50 times in the course of the trip. He also started saying a new word. (He only has about 6 consistent words - they are reserved for things he really loves - "mom, dad, eli, papa, davis and all done"). I didn't realize what he was saying at first but then the sign language helped me interpret . . "RO RO-O-O" was begging for another churro. Ah yes, a child after his father's own heart for sure. My husband brings cash specifically designated for his churro consumption. Another particularly great treat of the trip was the amount of time we got to spend with April. She flew in to surprise Billie and was without kiddos in toe so she spent most of the time trooping around with us. My boys loved the undivided attention from Aunt April :) In a group that size we didn't get to really see other family members as much as we had hoped but I think everyone had a really great time. Our little crew definitely did!!
