Disney Mania!

So, we recently got back from a long awaited and much anticipated trip to DisNeyLanD. The last time we went, Elise was 5 and Ian was 2. Needless to say, it was basically all new to them. We spent one night (which happened to be my birthday) with old friends at the Rainforest Cafe. The kids thought it was pretty cool. The dad thought it was overpriced and overrated, but still fun. :) (Thanks for joining us Lizzie).

We also spent one morning at Huntington Beach. The kids loved playing in the sand and running in the waves. Mom loved lying on the beach with a magazine just being lazy! It made me realize that the beach/ocean is probably the thing I miss most about So Cal.

We were also able to spend some time with cousins in Nevada. They were gracious enough to put us up for a night on each end of the trip. We had a really great time with them! Uncle Greg even took us out on his boat one day, to Lake Mead. Elise and Connor LOVED that, Ian... not so much. Connor was so relaxed, he even fell asleep on the boat! (Look for that priceless pic in the slideshow below).

All in all, we had a FABULOUS time. We even managed to dodge the swine flu - BONUS!!! I think Chris even found himself having fun once or twice during the trip... :) Just teasing, Chris, I love ya. Thanks for the memories!
