It's a small world, and a big, big city


We had an AMAZING time in Disneyland!! The boys are the perfect age and could ride nearly everything, and saw EVERY show. We got quite the workout running anxiously throughout the two parks. This is not the best picture, thank you random man who doesn't know how to take a picture, but everyone needs a picture in front of the castle. (At least that is what my boys thought) Caleb insisted on wearing his 'Indiana Jones' hat (purchased at Gap, not truly authentic ;) at nearly every moment, which was actually kind of cute. And Ernie was constantly calculating how to best, and most frugally spend his Disneyland savings. (Caleb in contrast wanted to spend his money on everything he saw...but unfortunately he only had $26.)






Here are a few pictures of our favorite moments.







Ernie was chosen to be trained as a Jedi! Caleb didn't want to go up, but it was really fun to watch.






As many of you know, Caleb generally can be heard singing. After riding "It's a small world" he caught on to the tune rather quickly. So yes, we heard the song continually ALL day long. The next day however, the words became, "it's a big big city after all..." We got a few laughs out of that. And after seeing so many of their favorite characters, the boys decided that they really wanted to get autographs. So, we got quite a few pics with characters while we were there. (I will only post a few that caleb is in, he refused to take pictures with them! But he would get an autograph, he just thought posing for a picture was stupid) Oh, and don't worry, they wouldn't get any from any princesses or girls. That would have been "disgusting"!

BURIED TREASURE



We had an amazing vacation this last week. We spent 5 days at Disneyland, and took a day off in the middle for a little R&R. I decided to start with our day off from Disneyland, the day at the beach.
The boys loved the waves and would have stayed there ALL day!! I loved sitting there watching them. Big Ernie showed little Ernie how to 'body surf' and ernie had a ball. He just jumped in wave after wave. Caleb wasn't quite as aggressive, which is why I was able to get WAY more pictures of him! Here are a few of the many pics I took.



















We also had a ton of fun playing in the sand. They built an awesome sand castle (of which they were very proud!)


They dug in the sand all day long. Caleb would bury a few matchbox cars he had and then 'find' them again. Unfortunately, he eventually lost them for good, but he will make some other boy who's playing in the sand very happy.
They even let their dad bury them in the sand!! They thought it was hilarious, and it was the only treasure to make it back from the beach that day.
