Disneyland

Another awesome vacation down in California! The boys had so much fun! We went to Disneyland 4 days and Sea World for 1. This year was definitely harder than the other years that we've been, Cutler did not want to stay in the stroller, but I know we would have lost him if we didn't make him. I was horrible at taking pictures this time, I just didn't have the motivation. Now I'm kicking myself in the butt!
So here are some of the ones I did manage to get...

Our one and only family picture! We didn't even get one at the front of the park.

The boys were being funny playing on all the letters. But I thought this one was cute.Breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen. You for sure have to eat here! It's yummy and the characters are the best! All the originals.
Even dad and Chad were having a good time!

Usually Cutler had his chin in his hands, but I couldn't ever get a picture

of it. He just looks super tired, which I'm sure he was!

This Cpt. Jack Sparrow was so funny. He totally ignored Noah, and everybody, and sort of acted like he was annoyed that people were watching him. He was such a good actor.

After 4 days of hitting every single ride, parade, restaurant, and character, what do you do? You go on the Mark Twain boat ride. We seriously didn't know where to go sometimes because we had been on every ride 3 times. Noah was big enough he could go on every ride, even Indiana Jones and Tower of Terror (which is his new favorite)! It actually was a relaxing thing to do.

And of course you can't go to Disneyland and not get a picture with Mickey Mouse! Cutler has started totally cheesing it when you tell him to smile, so he looks like this in 95% of all the pictures we ever take of him. I guess he thinks if he squints hard enough it must be a big smile - funny boy!

We ended up having a great time. We did go to Sea World one day and it was so hot. The boys loved the penguins, walrus', and the Shamu show. Oh ya, and the shark aquarium. I'll admit I even think those are pretty cool. The day we went to Sea World was also Kadence's birthday. She's the luckiest girl I know! She's got to spend 2 birthdays in a row at Disneyland!

For the most part the boys were pretty good. One day while Colby & Noah went on Thunder Railroad, Cutler and I were waiting for them over by the Mark Twain boat. It wasn't there but all of a sudden I feel a jerk and Cutler had thrown his shoe into the water! AAAGGGGHH!!! There was this other dad there with his little boy and he just looked at me like 'what are you going to do?' I watched the shoe for a minute to see what it was going to do and where it was going. It was his croc so it floated, thankfully. I ran over to the boarding area where there were a couple of workers cleaning and asked them if they could try and get it. I told them it was floating this way, and that they could probably just reach down and catch it. They just looked at me like I was stupid and told me the current goes the other way. So I nicely corrected him and told him it was coming this way and that I've been watching it to make sure. They found a guy that actually works that ride, and he came and lassoed it. Just then the boat came back. I was so embarrassed, mostly, and sort of bugged that it was so hard for someone to help me. We ended up losing the other shoe at Sea World and now are back to the old crocs.
