MONDAY




WHY DO WE CALL THIS A VACATION? Seriously, there is nothing relaxing or vacationing about this. We walk many many steps throughout the day and encourage and scold our children in their behavior. We eat on the go and just Go...Go...Go. Hence we returned to our room not much after 8:30 tonight, because the park closed at 8, and I am just plum tired. Abby has fallen asleep at her usual time around 5:30 because she fought through her afternoon nap today, which means her little internal alarm clock will wake us gently and promptly at 0600. Jacob had a power nap before the fireworks over the castle and he is awake next to me in bed as I am typing this. Abby is still asleep in her stroller, because I have neglected to get her ready for bed and put her in her crib just yet, and Jase is on the other sided of Jacob on this bed passed out 30 minutes ago! Thank goodness the park doesn't open till 10 tomoorow, oh wait, our family is going at nine because we can get into the park early one day, and for that day we just happened to pick tomorrow. Oh, I just want to pass out.

Today was wonderful! We spent the day doing things that Jacob wanted to do. We rode the train around the park, went on the Whinnie the Pooh ride again, Twice! Then we mosied over to fantasy land and went on the pinnochio and peter pan ride there. We took both abby and Jacob on the Nighmare before Christmas haunted mansion ride. Both kids were equally nuzzeling their faces into my and Jason's necks. The Pirates of the Caribbean ride was good, but it was time for Abby to eat lunch, and she just wasn't impressed. We ate a Turkey Leg for lunch, mmmmmm, those are so good. We watched the parade with our cousins and then Jase, I, Jacob, and Grandpa Jack went on the "Matterhorn" again. Jacob calls it the volcano ride. He quite enjoyed it. We then commenced to go pick a spot to watch the fireworks and have a corndog, another Disney Land eatery must have, and jacob fell asleep momentarily after pushing off. Our day in a nutshell, seems like we could have done so much more from the sound of it, but let me tell you this was plenty. Tomorrow, we're off to watch some more shows and ride some more rides.
