We braved it out and took our kids to Disneyland!!! We left here on Friday Oct. 5th and drove to Vegas. We stayed with our friends Jake and Ashley in their new home. There 2 yr old girl Brynlee, and Bailey are Besties and played together all night. We woke up Saturday and drove to California with only 1 potty break in Baker California (ghetto, hippy town) We made it to our hotel, dropped off our stuff, and headed to Huntington Beach! We only had about about an hour or so before it got dark but we got to watch the Beautiful sun set. I love and miss the sand between my toes, with the waves crashing! It's so fun to watch Bailey run around and play in the sand as well. I wish I lived cloer. Easton just chilled on my lap and was loving every min of it.
Sunday we woke up and got a late start on Disney. *Funny story* So, a few weeks prior to our trip, I was researching Disney and looking through the Website. I came across their events and it just so happened that we were going to be at Disney on GAY DAY!!!!! Wahoooooo, the one event a year, happens to be while we were there. Well, in fear of what Kyle might have thought, I didn't tell him. In fact, I came up with a brillant idea to prank Kyle. I called the other people we went with and clued them in on Gay Day and they all the Gays wear the color red. I told them that it would be HILARIOUS if we somehow cordinated our husbands into wearing red and then pairing them off together!! :) Muuhahahaha. Well, it worked! Kyle put on a white shirt that morning but we all used our magic to have him change his shirt to the red one so that we could easily spot our husbands by them wearing the same color. We got to the park and there weren't as many couples as we were hoping for. lol. Kyle was so oblivious to it all so we had to start placing the thoughts in his head. We starting pointing out all the couples and mentioning that they are all matching. Still not much from him. At one point, Kyle and Jake were pushing the kids in the stroller and Ashley and I were walking behind. A couple next to us said to each other....."Look, they even have children!!" "Ewww" the other replied! I couldn't stop laughing! Finally, Kyle ran into a friend of his from back home and the guy informed Kyle that he was wearing Red on Gay Day!!! Kyle came yelling at me ;) and all I could do was laugh. Pretty good prank, don't ya think!
Anywho, Sunday we did Disneyland and did most of the main attractions and rides for the kids.
Monday we thought it would be less busy, but were wrong. It was fall break in Cali, Arizona, and Utah. We headed over to California Adventure and did some Big kid rides! We did all the fast passes and child swap passes so we were able to ride all the rides....a few times. The kids were exhausted by this point and they all took turns naping in the double stroller. We headed back over the Disney that night to watch Fireworks.
Tuesday we headed back into Disney to hit up the Tea cups and Dumbo....Bailey's Favorites!!! Both my kids were sick, but it hit Easton pretty good. Sadly, he coughed non stop and was so sad, but on a postive note, he was so exhausted that he was very chill and sleepy. Poor kid!
We were so tired by two that we waddled out of the park and got back on the road. For some reason, it took us forever to get back to Vegas! We got there real late and went straight to bed. We woke up the next morning, Wednesday, and went out for breakfast, then swam, and then headed back to Utah!!
It was a fun, but exhausting trip! Bailey and Easton were such Troopers!! When Bailey is asked what her favorite part was, she will reply with, Ariel and Tea Cups!
When we got home, I worked 4 out of the 5 days and still feel like I haven't caught up on my sleep!
I love that we got to make family memories. I look forward to our many more Family vacations!
They will be the most memorable times of our and our childrens lives! I still remember every one of my family vacations!
