M-I-C-K-E-Y Mouse May 2010

Family vacations are great! We took our whole family to Disneyland in May this year. It was Nic's time to go where he could have his own memories. I took him and the kids back when he was about 8 months old, so obviously he didn't remember much from that trip. We had a lot of fun, Lucy flew in to Salt Lake on Tuesday the 18th and we took off in the car that day for California. The car ride went really well, even with Lucy and sometimes Nic asking "are we there yet" about 100 times. We spent 4 days in the two parks, and one the 1st day the kids got the chance to get their picture with Mickey Mouse, it was a great way to start off the fun. Nic was a little nervous about going on Pirates and some of the other rides, but after the first time around he was definitely up for a second turn on all of them, even the Haunted Mansion. All the kids got to enjoy going on Grizzly Bear rapids in California Adventure, and it became on of the favorite rides for all of them of the trip. They could not wait to see who would get soaked on the ride. We were also able to take time and get the kids profiles done on Main Street, I can not believe how great the are and how the really do look like the kids. Between Jon and Nic, the wanted to get a fast pass option for the corn dog line, I think it was the favorite meal in the park. Not to scare anyone to badly, but I got to sing with the Disney Dapper Dan's on the first day and I became an honorary member of the group. It was a fun experience, and the rest of the trip when ever we would see them singing some place, Nic would always say "Mom there are your friends". Oh the memories of Disney.. we can not wait to go back, although we might have to make the next time be Disney Hong Kong!
