The Happiest Place on Earth (Sometimes)

Well, we just got back from a totally fun trip to California. I must say, I'm awfully proud of myself for traveling across the desert by myself with three kids. I don't know that I should be proud of myself, it might mean I'm mentally unbalanced, but I'm going to go with "brave." While there we had the chance to use our Disneyland passes again and it was a blast. It was a gorgeous day and we never waited more than 5 minutes for a ride. The biggest obstacle to riding more things was...us. We were two adults (my mom and me) and 4 kids with one being a newborn and we both worked really hard to have fun :). Between feedings and potty breaks and complete meltdowns from my kids I'm surprised we did as well as we did. We were able to ride the train (supposed to be a method of transportation-NOT a ride, but Tommy loved it), the rocket cars (twice), Buzz Lightyear, the Carousel, Dumbo (twice), and the Haunted Mansion. We also saw Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Chip and Dale, and Wendy Darling. I'm still just not willing to wait hours to see actual Princesses, and my kids don't care that much-any character will do for them. We had a lot of fun and I'm hopefully going to be able to go with Tom in February. I took very few pictures and they're all terrible but I was holding Eliza for all of them.
