Disneyland...part 3

I know you are all sick of Disneyland by now, but I need to document it so go ahead and skip if you want!  So this is California Adventures Day.  We kind of had jet-lag today and were slow going to start.  McKay was having a hard time because the rides were "scary"- which I have to give him credit that a Bug's Life was scary...  But all in all we did have a fun day!

I met Mulan!

Cars Land- Logan was in heaven!

Mater!!

 

When you stand in line half the day...we had some fun!

And now McKay's got the glasses

Logan was too enthralled with the tractor to look at the camera

McQueen- notice how Logan is holding on to the car- haha!

The boys and tractor tipping!

The family

Everyone and Goofy

Disneyland...part 2

So Monday morning we headed to Disneyland.  It was a blast!  McKay did NOT like any of the rides that were inside- except its a Small World (we went on that ride probably 6 times in two days...).  He loved the outside rides- even the little roller coaster "Goofy's Go-Gadget Coaster" (we went on that one several times too!).  Disneyland was nice because Logan and McKay could both go on the majority of the rides.  California Adventures didn't have as many rides Logan could go on, which was a bummer because he LOVES Cars, but all of Cars Land had height limits... Oh well, he still got to see Mater and McQueen.  We spent Monday at Disneyland (translation= Its a Small World), Tuesday at California Adventures, and Wednesday at Disneyland again.  We were there from open to close all three days and enjoyed every minute of it.  We ate dinner one night at Goofy's Kitchen.  It is a kid-friendly buffet where all the Disney characters walk around and come to your tables while you eat.  I even got my picture with Mulan there!  Well enough talk- here's the pictures!

So excited as we stood in line to get into Disneyland

Logan wasn't quite sure what to think of everything at first- which is a good thing!  He is such an independent little wanderer now- I am glad he was shy then!

McKay loving the tea cups

Logan and Gpa Bill

Logan was standing with Margaret (behind) when he looked over and saw Tigger.  His face lit up and he took off trying to get to Tigger.  I whipped out the camera and caught him trying to clear the fence to get to Tigger!

So we stood in line and all got our picture with Tigger!  Logan got shy when we got upclose to him...

We left the boys with Gma for a few minutes and hit Splash Mountain.  Matt got soaked to the bone!  But it was fun!!  (and warm so we dried off fast)

And we had to meet Eeyore too

The whole gang watching the Disneyland Parade Monday night- a good family night wouldn't you say?

This is one of my favorite pictures of our trip- We were watching the parade and Daniel got so excited to see Tinkerbell.  He was waving and waving and then she blew him a kiss.  His face got bright red and he just couldn't stop grinning- a cute crush!

Disneyland!! part 1

Matt's parents took the family to Disneyland in September.  I took about 400 pictures so here are just a handful of my favorites...

Day 1:
We drove down on a Saturday and spend Saturday night and Sunday with my Aunt Marci and Uncle David who live about 1 hour from Disneyland.  They hung out with them, went to church, and had a picnic dinner on  the beach.  It was the first time the boys had seen the ocean.  Logan stared and just pointed and McKay was so excited he just giggled- it was cute.  I kept trying to show McKay neat shells I found but he would just take them and throw them in the water...Throwing rocks in the water is just his thing!  Anyways, we had a blast with my aunt and uncle and were glad we were able to spend a little time with them on our trip.

 

September 2012

I know I am way behind and I have been contemplating just starting with now and not even trying to do the past 6 months, but then I felt guilty...so here is the quick summary of the past months at our house.  Starting with September:

McKay loves playing games he makes up (I think he gets that from his Daddy).  He is so imaginative and sets up his little games and then instructs you how to play them- and you better play them the right way or else he gets after you!

I ran the Onion Days 10K on Labor Day and did really well.  I placed 2nd in my age group and even got a little medal to prove it!

 We love Onion Days with the Wrights.  The band concert, parade, picnic lunch, carnival, and all the festivities always make for a fun weekend with all the family.  Here the kids are enjoying the carnival with Matt.  Matt and McKay spent the afternoon going on rides and having a blast, while Logan and I made an appearance and then headed back for a nap...he's my kind of kid!

Logan LOVES the vaccuum.  I get it out and he laughs, follows me around, and even sits on it and tries to ride it like a horse!  McKay on the other hand is scared to death of the vaccum- he cries, runs and hides, and throws a fit the whole time I vaccum.  These boys couldn't be anymore opposites!

Just enjoying my boys!  McKay set up all the stuffed animals and made me a bed to sit on- how sweet!

Silly boy! 

 

My fruit monster!  Logan LOVES fruit- any kind.  We go outside and he heads straight to the garden and crawls through the strawberries biting right off the plant- no point in picking them.  Then he waddles over to the raspberries and has a few bites, then he meanders through the orchards and takes a bite of an apple- yes, still attached to the tree.  He would be a great homeless child!  This time I managed to get him to come in, sit in his chair, and eat his apple.  What a true farm boy- he must be a Rowley!

Happy Logan
