At the end of the day...

We had a wonderful day at Disneyland.  At the end of the day the kids did too.  So much fun that they fell asleep on the ride home. Glad we brought the kids pj's with us. :)  

 
 

The Rides We Let Our Kids Ride....

So now that Monkey has reached 40 inches with shoes, we can all go on lots of rides together as a family.  The latest was Space Mountain.  See:

I know bad picture of a picture, we are in the back. 

Buzz Lightyear ride Monkey was so excited.

Nemo

The carousel ride.  Wiggles was so excited to get a horse with purple on it. 

A new one for me and the kids was the Tiki Tiki Room. 

I must be crazy to let my kids drive....

So one of our kids favorite rides is Autopia.  Both Wiggles and Monkey are the craziest drives alive, but they have such a fun time.  So I take the bumps and whiplash gracefully.  

Notice Wiggles hair blowing in the wind.  Such a fast driver...

Do you see Monkey's smile so excited to be driving and at such a young age too.

Characters, Characters and more.

 This time the kids were really into the Characters.  Last time we went they were scared of them.  The look on the kid's faces just made my day.  We saw Minnie, Buzz, Woody, Jesse, and many others during the day.  Below are a few Monkey was beside himself when he saw his favorite characters.  

The Happiest Place on Earth ....

What to do what to do. Well it would seem the last few years we've gotten an itch this time of year to take the kids on a wonderful adventure.  That adventure always lands us at the Happiest place on Earth.  Where the rides make kids smile and act silly, where they get to meet their favorite Characters and where Mom and Dad take them on rides that go fast and faster.  Yup we took the kids to Disneyland!  Our first ride: The tram to get to the gates. hehehe...

 

 Look at that smile on Wiggles.  Pure excitement!

What about Monkey, and yes I was very excited to go too.  

Even though we just went it was actually a cool day.  We had just bought our tickets and were on our way in.  

I'm going to break the pictures into categories instead of writing one LOOOONNGGG post.  It was such a wonderful day and well worth the drive to and from. 

It's an Animal sort of day

The best part of having Monkey home now is having the opportunity to have playdates with his buddies.  We've been trying to have this playdate for months...  But when the day would come one or both would be sick and we'd have to reschedule.  So finally we were good to go.  Monkey actually had an ear infection but that didn't hold us back. :)  S Man and Monkey are great buddies and are so excited to see each other when we meet up with MOPS or AWANA.

Giraffes we always love looking at them!

Open House

 It's that time of year.  Open House at school.  This was our first Open House with Wiggles' School.  The kids had a musical performance first and then we were released to the classrooms.  We were able to see Wiggles' next class and meet the teacher.  So excited to see how she will do in 1st grade.  SO much has happened since the last post.  Wiggles has started piano lessons and is enjoying every bit of it.  She has been signed up for Dance Camp and Swim lessons this summer.  As of today there are only 14 days left of school.  WOO HOO. I realized I'm off task. Sorry.  Below are pictures from the Open House. :)  

Waiting for program to start.
