Newman's Review

So here I am sitting in my hotel room here in California on my last day here at Disneyland... Everyone is at Disneyland as I wait for Emma to take a good nap. This week has had many ups and downs, especially when you travel with a group and travel with 2 young kids. Here are some highlights of our week!

• After a busy weekend celebrating Ethan's birthday we left Monday morning to visit Disneyland. First trip for Ethan and Emma... and Scott returns after 20 years!
• Austin and Skyler took their first plane ride!
• Ethan met some of his favorite characters! Mickey, Pluto, Goofy, Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, and Woody!
• Ethan dancing his little heart out during dinner in Tomorrow Land!... So unlike him! He really let loose!
• Ethan bonding with Grandma and Grandpa Riddle! He always wonders where they are when they aren't with him :)
• Had a wonderful visit with Great Grandma Shehorn and Great Grandma Sparling!
• Many fits from my little princess! Emma has a runny nose and cough again! What is up with California!
• A LOT of sleepless nights!

So was this week worth it? The tired feet.... the sun burnt face... the endless lines...????

YES! Ethan has been enjoying himself! I think he is bummed that today is our last day. We are starting to see a brave side of Ethan. He'll try the rides... he tells us whether or not he likes them... He has his favorites, of course! Peter Pan and Buzz Lightyear to just name a couple!

Emma has been a pill! I knew she would be. I didn't expect anything different with her. She is too young for this stuff! She isn't happy staying put in the stroller and she wants to do everything her brother is doing. She can go on most of the kiddie rides and she has enjoyed herself some.

Overall, I have to say it has been a good week. I was able to get my mind off of things with the kitchen and house and I got to relax, kind of! Pictures will be coming soon!
