We've been lots of places as a family, but I think this is the first official vacation we've ever been on. We spent four days in Disneyland and California Adventures. After getting used to the environment the kids had a great time. (Yes, both boys have their fingers in their noses. I guess Mickey has that effect on them)
The first day I don't think the kids knew exactly what to expect. DJ was scared of every ride. AJ was being brave. Alexandria was just trying to soak it all in and Isabel was lost. I knew DJ's little stomach was turning everytime we got on a new ride. Finally, when we got on It's a Small World he turned around and said, "Mommy, this not scary." I think after that he started to enjoy the rides.
We actually did a lot on the first day because it wasn't very busy. The second and third days we had Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Kristine and Jordan there. It made it really fun because Alexandria loves Grandma and Grandpa is King of getting the kids to fall asleep so we could leave them with him for naps and Dionys and I got to go do some of the bigger rides. Thanks Mom and Dad for coming with us. You guys are awesome!
The last day we got to sit back and enjoy some of the things that we didn't get a chance to do and we probably wouldn't have made time for otherwise. We went to Tom Sawyer's Island hung out with Toy Story and Monster characters at a block party and went on the Sun Wheel about 20 times. Okay maybe not that many but it felt like it. It was a relaxing, enjoyable day.
