Vacation 2011

Part ?

I don't even remember what part # this is

FINAL

DISNEYLAND

We went Sunday evening

and ALL day Monday and Tuesday 

For a DL virgin

I must admit I was a bit disappointed

I am not sure if I had built it up so much in my head

or maybe I was tired

Now this is not to say that after our 2 1/2 days there

I did not have a good time

I had a GREAT time

but must say

I will not become a die hard Disney fan

The boys loved every

single

thing

they rode

We managed naps in the stroller

OMG

scary face

Our trip was complete after meeting this guy

Here is the whole group of kids

My 3

My fave cousin's 2 kids

And her neighbors 3 kids

My cousin Cindy and I wanted to finally have our kids meet

I was planning a trip to Disney

And she and her bestie neighbor were as well

So we just decided to do it all together

And that was the way to travel 

I don't know if DL would have been as much fun without all of them

The kids entertained each other

whether in long ride lines

or at the hotel in the evening so the grown-ups could chat

It went really smooth for as many folks as we had

Then throw in Casey and her crew

WOWZA

 Connor watching the fireworks

Love that face

He was the only boy left awake

These 2 snoozed through it all

It is a small world after all

Goofy

Christian thought he was pretty special

He did not want to leave him

Oh Minnie

I know how you feel!

And the Star of the Show

Mickey

Well he's suppose to be

For us it was really buzz

The best part of our trip was made here

After we snapped this picture 

the staff was shooing us out of the room for the next group of folks

Colton said he had to show Mickey something

then he did a spin

more like a twirl

but it suppose to be a spin

then Mickey did it back

Later when we saw Buzz

he wanted to show him something too

yep, another spin

The fact that he was showing off to his heros

LOVED THIS MOMENT

We did make it into California Adventure on the final day

Just in time to see the 

Toy Story Soldiers

they put on quite the performance

and even got the kids involved

Big Cous Cindy 

and the crew

Cousins

and possibly new BFF's

Connor wanted to go everywhere Chatty went

Love me some 

Mater

Cousins in the toy box

 My kids

Cindy's kids

Casey's kids

And here she is again

Lainey Caroline

crushing on my man

I told Casey if LC could wash clothes and fix a bowl of cereal

that we could switch places

Overall, it was a fantastic vacation. I could not have asked for or expected anything better

I only lost 1 kid, 1 time

 MOTY for me

ok, maybe not

 I got to

 meet my cousins kids

meet some new great people

and got to see and old friend

 Most importantly

 I got to spend 5 really special days with my family

And the boys were so tired that the plane ride home was a breeze

BONUS

That's a wrap folks
