Splash Park

We had to wait for school to start before I took the boys here - there are always a million kids here (most of them too old). When we finally made it and had a blast!

Back Flip

Luke learned how to do a back flip today

I don't think he'll do another one for awhile :)

Seeing Double

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

Luke loved seeing Mickey Mouse when we were at Disney. So when we got home I dug out the costumes. He sleeps with Mickey, he plays with Mickey and he often comes downstairs dressed up as Mickey.

Real Cowboys

Since we live in the country now we thought we'd check out our little Madison county fair. They had a rodeo we wanted to go to. As we were watching before it started there were a lot of girls and little girls on the horses. Then a man came out complete with lasso and hat and boot and spurs and Kurt yells, "Look mom! A real cowboy, just like woody!"

i need my boogers back

Luke is a chronic nose picker. There's nothing up there, but he's digging away. He got a little cold today (runny nose cough) and I asked him, "Are you sick?"

He replied, "Yeah."

"Yeah? Well, we need to get you better."

"Yeah, I want my boogers back."

Fun from the County Fair

Sitting on a "piano bench" :)

Going Potty

Caught in the act

Fun with the camera

Redneck?

You might be a redneck if you're 2nd car is a John Deere

The boys LOVE to help mow the lawn

Vegas Pit Stop

If you have to stop, you may as well have fun while you're stopped. We drove down the strip so that Kurt could see New York City and Paris within 5 minutes.

Then we stopped at the Bellagio to go potty and see a few of our favorite things.

The Garden Room

Chihuly

and the Water Show

We went to DISNEYLAND!

Disclaimer: Pictures GALORE!

Our first official family vacation

I never liked that the castle was pink and green/blue...

Kurt always wanted to climb in the letters and he chose the A

Ride #1 - Splash Mountain

Doesn't it look like Kurt had fun?! It took us all week to convince him to go on it again :)

Brandon and Bill on Grizzly Rapids in CA

Meeting Buzz Lightyear (but he's not the real one - he's just a pretend one).

Cruella and Me - need I saw more?

Our bootleg picture of Goofy

We were in line, but they only let them stay out for 10ish minutes at a time and we weren't going to make it to the front by the time he was leaving, so we started bootlegging.

Mr. Potato Head

Donald

Alice and MadHatter

Chip or Dale?

Pinnocchio and Pluto

Outside the White Rabbit's house - they really, really wanted to go inside his house and were really mad that the door didn't open.

I didn't really get a good shot of anyone on the Dumbo ride, so we posed for one here

Uncle Bill, watching us ride Dumbo. It was so much fun to have him hang out with us!

Peter Pan! My favorite ride in Fantasy Land

Trying really hard to get the sword out...getting frustrated that he can't

Maybe if everyone pulls?

Mallificent up in the window...the scariest ride in Fantasy Land

We saw Aladdin in CA. It was during Luke's "nap" and was a great break for Kurt. It was an hour long Broadway type show. Very fun!

Waiting to see the Bug's Life show. Neither of the boys liked it :) But would you if you got "acid" sprayed in your face, "tooted" on, "stung" by a bee or had spiders and grubs and beetles "run" under your bums?

Woody!!!

(Sorry it's so dark, my flash wasn't on)

Jessie (and the Army guy)

Then she gave Kurt a kiss!

(She didn't kiss anyone else while we were in line so it was unexpected)

To which he pulled away

And then wiped it off!! :)

Awesome new characters in TS3!

It was fun that they even had these guys out! Kurt was very excited to see Lightning!

Kurt kept stealing my shades. Doesn't he look handsome?

Captain Hook!

We guess he wasn't in the mood for posing for pictures because he wouldn't stop for anyone. He did give Luke a high five though.

Pooh

Tigger

Luke would do this while we waited in lines. Can you guess what it is?

Small World

They loved seeing Woody and Jessie inside

And Nemo. A lot of characters are in there now - Aladdin, Peter Pan, Little Mermaid, Pinnocchio,

Thunder Mountain Railroad

I'm glad Kurt came with me, it's not as fun to ride the rides alone

Daddy and Luke

Giving Daddy kisses

Another Buzz (before his ride)

It was an interactive ride - you tried to shoot the aliens and evil Zurg with your astroblaster

Focused

The "medal" wall for Buzz Lightyear's AstroBlaster ride

(we rode this one a LOT)

Riding the train

Eating our Mickey pancakes (I forgot to take a picture before we cut it and they were hungry!)

Meeting Mickey Mouse!!

We saw Minnie too

And Pluto!

He was trying to tickle Kurt with his whiskers

And playing peek-a-boo

Again, trying to get into a door that didn't open and getting very frustrated :)

My Boys

Teacups - I rode with Luke so we wouldn't have to spin :)

We had to get ice cream before we left for the last time. Doesn't it look delicious?

Thanks Mom
