California 2008

Alright, so I know you've all been dying to see pictures from our amazing trip to Cali. It was pretty sweet. We stopped by Queen Creek to pick up our nanny, Breea. Then left around 3:30am Thursday. We made it there around 9:30, checked into the hotel, and left the nanny and children as we headed off to the Magic kingdom ALONE! It was freaking fun!!! We hit all the major rides in both parks between 10am and 8pm. Oh, and yes, I did chop my mop...it's the victoria beckam...plus size. I LOVE IT! It's longer on one side, and yes, I meant to do that!!! This is the food that I reminded Jase of for about 3 weeks prior to our trip. MEAT ON A STICK! How great is that? And yes, that is bacon wrapped asparagus...ON A STICK!
The next day it was a bit chilly as we awaited the arrival of our bus to DL, and I left my jacket upstairs, so Jaden was kind enough to let me wear his...perfect fit!

Ah, nothing says Families Forever like a nice bus picture.

I've gotta say, it was nice to have a day long break from the kids, but the second day with the kids was soo much funner. Just to watch the excitement in their eyes on EVERY ride. Kam would cry on almost everyone, and then want to go on it again. Jaden LOVED splash mountain and Indiana Jones. Kam's favorite was pirates and the haunted mansion. This shot was on the jungle cruise. (sorry about catching the silly face Beeba)


Again, sorry about the silly face Jase...but um, hello, you have a camera pointed right at you!!!

The real buzz! Seriously, the real Buzz Lightyear gave Jaden high five!!!

Um, so at the end of the day we realized that we didn't take a whole lotta pictures, so we took pictures of all of us enjoying ice cream on our way out. Yikes!








One more ride...the tea cups. I hate this ride...can I say that? I hate the teacups!!!







It was a lovely week/weekend that I hope to recreate again in 2 or 3 years.

Kristal I'm jealous! Your haircut is so cute! You're totally allowed to have VB's haircut as long as you don't get too too skinny and then refuse to smile.

Holly said...

Fun hair! It's always fun to have a change. I changed mine a couple of weeks ago. I also went short but mine surely isn't as cute as yours!

The trip looks like so much fun! I like "soaking" as well. I'm going to start using it around here!
