M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!!

We went to Disneyland this weekend, I found out late Thursday afternoon that David didn't have school on Friday for teacher inservice day, but we couldn't leave any earlier since he had procrastinated doing his project that is due Tuesday, plus since my car needs to get some work done I had rented a car to pick up Friday.  Anyways, we left later than I had wanted to Friday had lots of fighting between the boys and got to California about 11pm.  We got up early Saturday and  my weekend just got worse!  I slipped in the mud behind the car as I was trying to load all of our stuff in it & dropped our jackets in a puddle but managed to salvage most of them with little wetness.  Then when we got to the park and I was loading the stroller I realized that the ice chest had dumped and the back of the car had a few inches of water in it and the jackets were sitting in the water!  Only Tommy's was not able to be worn, so he ended up with a new Disney jacket!  It only lightly drizzled/rained for the first few hours, but made it nice cause there was no lines and we had raincovers for the strollers so it was great!! 
 Tommy & Nathan enjoying a mickey shaped sucker (& Nathan flexing his muscles, being a bully & pulling Tommy's hair)
 The kids rode the firetruck down Main Street with grandma & papa and Tommy got to sit by the bell and LOVED ringing it!
 Sunday morning we went back to Disney, I was SO proud of the little boys!!  Tommy has NEVER liked the characters and Nathan is still scared of them & only likes to see the from afar.  But we got in line with our cousins to see Mickey and when it was our turn they both on their own, went up to Mickey for a picture!!
The little boy cousins had really cute matching shirts for Disney (the girl cousins had adorable skirts/shoes/shirts & hairbows too) we tried to get a cute boy cousin picture and this is what we got!! 
 Then we went to Marie Callenders for late lunch with Great Grandpa Allison.  It was so fun to see him, Gwen, Bob, Sherry, Rhonda, Raquel & Michael!  Tommy & Nathan fell asleep in the car on the way to lunch and stayed asleep till it was time to go! So, that's them asleep in the stroller!


 
Abby is one of Nathan's absolute favorite cousins!  He ALWAYS talks about Abby and PaPa! Even now he is trying to grab the computer saying Abby, Abby, Abby!!  As we were leaving lunch he & Abby were holding hands walking out of the restaurant. 
We had a GREAT time at Disney with our cousins!!  It makes us sad that they live far away and we don't get to see them as often anymore!
