Disneyland

So much fun!!!! We just got back from taking our two little guys to Disneyland. This was their first time there. And the last time Nathan visited was about 30 yrs ago. So it really was all kinds of fun. :) We got tons of compliments on our cute little boys. They were both very well behaved for the most part. And as far as we could tell.... they had an amazing time!
The very first ride we hit was Star Tours. Josh and Nathan went while Nick and I checked out the gift shop. After that was the Buzz Lightyear ride. We went on that ride SEVERAL times. The boys LOVED it! Josh liked being able to shoot at stuff and Nicky like telling Zurg "NO NO! Be nice Zurg!"
We managed to hit Pirates of the Carribean that night too. It scared Josh and Nicky both but they still enjoyed it. Josh just about jumped out of his seat when we hit the part with the cannons blasting. That puff of air hit him and he thought he was done for. Later that night he was complaining of a tummy ache. As we're walking back to the hotel Josh says, "Hey wait a minute. I know why my stomach hurts. It's from when I got hit in the stomach by a cannon." Whew! Glad we got that all cleared up. We were totally stumped as to why his stomach hurt. Cannons. That simple. Getting shot by a cannon I guess would make my stomach hurt too!!!! And as he was explaining this to his Grandpa... "yeah, it hurt but at least I didn't die or anything". That kid is just too funny! When we returned the next day and tried to get a picture of the boys with Capt. Jack Sparrow... they both freaked. Josh likes to point out though that he wasn't SCARED.... he was just tired and that's why he didn't want his picture taken. Yeah, yeah. Whatever. :)
They also loved the rocket ride and It's a small world. Neither one of them were very fond of the haunted mansion. Nathan and I however had a blast watching them squirm! It was great. Anytime Josh started acting up we could just ask him if he wanted to go to the haunted mansion next and his behavior would mysteriously improve. hehehehehe.
They both LOVED the Jedi training show. They were in awe over Darth Vader and Darth Maul. The best part was when Darth Maul started wandering around. As he got closer and closer, Josh backed up more and more. So funny! I don't blame him though. The costume and make-up was amazing. He looked like he just stepped off the Star Wars set. I even thought he looked a little scary.
The boys were great on the plane ride home. I think they're really getting the traveling thing down. Made me all kinds of proud when people commented to me on how well behaved they were. Although I think they were just comparing them to a 3 yr old in front of us that was freaking out. Poor kid. First time on a plane and the mom decided the best way to deal with the situation was to let other people entertain him while she downed her double vodka and hit on every male within speaking distance. (Glad Nathan was on the row behind me-hehe)
It was a great trip though. I wasn't ready to come back home. Anyway... enough of my rambling.... here's the pictures:
