We're back. . . . and we had a great time!

Let me just start by saying, you're in for a treat when you take a 2 1/2 year old to Disneyland. My mom had to keep reminding me that there's a reason they call it the "terrible 2's"! Despite that, we had a great time with our family. We got there on Monday night and headed straight to be. We stayed in the Embassy Suites where you get the most incredible breakfast so we were excited to wake up and start the day. They have all the cold stuff- cereal, toast, donuts, muffins, etc. . . but they also have omelets made to order, french toast, waffles, pancakes, bacon, sausage, and hash browns. It is absolutely delicious, and one of the best parts of the day. Then we headed off to the Magic Kingdom for a day full of fun. Right when we got in Papa got the boys an autograph book so they could get the character's signatures. We spent the day trading off between kid rides and adult rides. Everyone was so great about taking turns with the kids so we could have a chance to ride the fun ones too. We also had everyone on Ayden watch out, considering the "code adam" at walmart the day before. I could go into details about the trip, but I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!

Oh I love these pictures. The one of Ayden and Conor made me laugh. I can just picture them playing and dancing to entertain the crowd. What a great trip! I missed you and am glad you are back. We should go to the zoo sometime this week.
LOVE YOU!

Thanks, Mary, for posting the pictures. It will help me remember the fun time of Disneyland with my g-grandkids. It was fun to be with everyone. Yes, we loved the great breakfast, too. It was one of the best parts of the day. Hope Ayden is over the runny nose and they didn't get as sick as Abby, Laura and Connor.
