We're back from a week in Disneyland!


Wow, well we made it and did a good job of having a good time. We were there on a record breaking day for number of people in attendance at Disneyland, on Tuesday. Although, I didn't need to be told there were record number of people there, it was pretty obvious. Pretty, pretty, pretty obvious, phew! But we somehow managed to keep 15 people all together to go on rides no matter what was going on. I was impressed! Here are some memorable quotes from the trip to hopefully give you a picture of how the week went:

"Is this a rollercoaster?" (Mom, who was traumatized by a small roller coaster ride earlier that day)

"I farted!!!" (Dear son, whilst in a very long and slow moving line, surrounded by people)

"That ride was awesome!!" (any one of the kids, at any given time after getting off a ride)

"Stop! Get down! Stop climbing on that!" (any one of us parents, to our kids at any given time)

"That's it! I'm writing a letter!" (Me, disappointed by the Christmas version of the Haunted Mansion after waiting in line for what seemed like four hours)

"Mulan is here!!! Mulan is here!!!" (Dear son, when Mulan walked through our breakfast buffet)

"Sir, you are obstructing traffic." "What traffic? There is no one here!" "Sir if you do not move we are going to call security..." (Interaction between my dad and line monitors at Cal Adventure, shortly before he got all Clark Griswold on them)

"Good thing Opa is still alive, because if he wasn't, then we wouldn't be going to Disneyland!" (Dear daughter, during a conversation on existentialism)

Also, randomly...noticed three different men from India discussing their need to go on the Pirates of the Carribean ride...wonder what that was about? ANYWAYS...

We all made it through the trip through the airports, through long, long lines, through vomiting at restaurants, through meltdowns in lobbies...we did it! And we loved it. Next family trip, Hawaii or Mexico, anyone?

Ugh, whose child would vomit in a restaurant? (twice) That's just gross.

Here's a memorable quote from our trip a few years ago: Doot doot, doot doot, dude look like a lady. (My middle child when we were on the Aerosmith Roller Coaster. It's the only part of the song either of us know.)
