So you can see why we did not celebrate May the Fourth be with you or Cinco de Mayo? Although we did talk about it :)  I didn't mention any of the tumbling or dance classes either.
But it is my goal this week to blog and catch up on all of these happenings. Good luck to me!

First, our May 6-9 Disney trip:

The one in which we did Toon Town twice because Roger Rabbits cartoon spin kept breaking down (we literally got in line and left three times in a row). But that meant that we had it all to ourselves at closing one night. The kids ran wild and free and we sat and ate churros and watched them play. We felt like we were the only ones there. Ryan said, "other families go on walks. We do this."
The one in which we convinced Rachel to go on the Matterhorn and she put up a huge stink and cried and said no no no the whole line and then when we rode it she declared it her new favorite ride! (this she gets from me, right Gpa J?)
The one in which we let the kids buy Mickey ears for the first time and Adam really wanted to get matching ones, but Rachel opted for the fancier feather one. It cracks me up every time I look at her.
But...we still did our classics too:
Eating breakfast at the Barstow Train station
Eating at Blue Bayou and sharing the Monte Cristo sandwich (our whole family can eat for $30-that's a bargain for Disney :)
Going to the Up play place next to Grizzly River Run that I can't remember the name of right now--most likely our favorite place in the park...we get to relax while the kids can play safely
Convincing Rachel to go on Splash Mountain and her hating us for it.
Etc Etc

This was a nice trip because it was just us. We LOVE going with friends/family, but it is special to just be there with the six of us. Gooooo team!










We tried to get Rachel to take a pic of us for our anniversary. They were all blurry and we looked dumpy and tired in all of them. But after 11 years, we are dumpy and tired and blurry. And we still love each other. Imagine that :)

I'm a horrible friend. I kept thinking for days after the 24 hours how I should have texted Ryan to see if he made it home safely. And now I find out the car broke down. Guilt! If it makes you feel any better, Ry, we got a big ol' fine for apparently driving on a toll road right after we picked up the rental car . . . Maybe it was karma for not driving to Vegas with you.
