Families That Play Together, Stay Together (Day 6)


After our busy day at California Adventures we wanted to take a day off to just relax and hang out at the pool.  We had to run to Target that morning, we scared Lunnie with some silly Halloween masks and the remainder of the day was spent lounging at the pool.  Have I told you how much we all enjoyed this vacation?  We had so much time with nothing to worry about.  We were able to do so many things that we never get to do, like lay in bed with my husband and watch TV and read Elizabeth Smart's entire book in just a couple of days.  It was fabulous.  Everything was fabulous!  One of the girls favorite things about the resort were all of the little ducks and bunnies they saw roaming around.  




(Day 5) Surprise!!!

 Dustin and I were keeping a secret from our girls.  It was a hard secret to keep!  We got up pretty early and told them we were going for a drive, maybe we would do something fun.  About two hours later Brinley looked at the window and asked, "IS THIS DISNEYLAND?"  "No, Brinley, we are't in California." We lied.  She was confused, all of these people crossing the road with Micky Mouse ears on and Disney buses everywhere.  We were careful not to let her know we were in California the entire trip because to her California equals Disneyland and we really wanted to surprise her.  We found a place to park, gave the girls each a gift, Minnie Mouse shirts and other Disney goods.  We walked in, I think Brinley was excited and knew we were doing something fun, but still confused, her memory told here we were in Disneyland, her parents told her otherwise.  We got the tickets, walked in the gate, she grabbed a map opened it up and threw her arms around me, "WE ARE IN DISNEYLAND, YOU ARE THE BEST PARENTS IN THE WHOLE WORLD!  THIS IS THE BEST SURPRISE EVER!"  Priceless!!!  We were just here a couple of months ago, but what can I say, It's the happiest place on Earth!  We were just so close, we couldn't not go.  We love Disneyland!  The day was an absolute BLAST!  We spent the first day in California Adventures and enjoyed World Of Color that night.  This day defiantly goes in the memory book as one of the best days ever!  It was so great to spend so much time with the girls, and with my cute husband!  I freaking love my life!  London was so cute with the characters, she loved them!!  Such a magical day!
