Disney Land - Part 2

*Warning - please excuse the extreme randomnous of the placement of the pics in this blog post. I've been having issues with Blogger, lately. I should sue.

One of the funnest things for me to experience, while visiting Disney Land, was seeing the characters! Did I act like a complete and total dork, when I spotted a character, from a mile away? Yes. Did I run over small, innocent, children, and forced my kids to have their pictures taken with characters they did not care for or even knew who they were? Why, yes. Yes I did.


Homeboy was giddy with anticipation to meet the Toy Story characters. So when I spotted them on the pier, I began to hyperventilate with excitement. We stood in line to meet Woody and to converse with Homeboy's idols, when just as we were about to grasp the hand that which belongs to the Almighty Woody, he decided to go on break. Of course.


Jessie took his place. Oh well, it's all good. When Jessie arrived to take Woody's place, they participated in a little, friendly, shoving, match.


It was all fun and games until Jessie all of the sudden tried to "knife" Woody in his enormous, plastic, head. Apparently she had a homemade shiv made from a toothbrush, hidden in one of her braids. It's a good thing one of those Green Army Dudes was there to intercept.

Okay, that really didn't happen. The picture below just reminds me of a knife fight. I've been watching too much http://investigation.discovery.com/.

I must admit, I nearly wet myself when we got to meet Mickey. Homeboy was too tired and cranky to get out of his stroller to meet with Mickey. THEEE Mickey Mouse! It's Mickey Mouse, Homeboy! The only mouse on the earth that I have no desire to lure into a trap and squish to death!


Check out, how my dear, fruit of my loins, is looking longingly at Mickey.

The photo of Mini was taken, courtesy of my Sis-in-law, Kate. We were standing in line to meet her, when we decided to ditch her for Mickey. Mickey was about to leave on his break. Sorry Mini!


By the time we met Cinderella's Fairy God Mother, Homeboy was tired and angry. Gotta give credit to Miss Bippity-Boppity-Boo... she tried with all of her might to get my child to warm up to her. It wasn't happening.




Awwwww!! See! Plowing over innocent bystanders to get to meet Jessie, was all worth it! How cute is this?



And here we have another pic of my smiling, happy, niece, and nephews. And Homeboy. Angry, tired Homeboy. Good grief.



On the second day of our visit to Disney Land, we ate breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen! The breakfast buffet was AWESOME and many characters come up to the tables to meet with all of the families!


I'm positive the hubs is going to tuck this little memory, deep within the chambers of his heart. He may not admit it, but he loved snuggling up to Pluto!




Check out my brother in law being fondled by Pluto? I sense a lawsuit coming.

Homey was more than thrilled to have his picture taken with Chip. I will be posting this picture on his Facebook Wall for ALL to see.

And then of course, check out my lovely sunburn on my upper chest, even though I applied sunblock. My stupid double chin provides too much shade to make an even sunburn.


*click on images below to experience the "beauty" up close and personal.



Homeboy was more than excited to meet the Fairies in Fairy Land! (?Is that where they live?) This particular Fairy below asked him who his favorite Fairy was and he just looked at her with a blank stare. I didn't dare admit that we have NEVER watched any of the Tinker Bell movies. He's a boy for heavens sake. At least he didn't act shy and grumpy with her and he still managed to hug her. Check out the grin? Sure! Smile and give hugs to the cute chics!







I meant for this pic to be the intro to this blog post. But, no! It goes much better, randomly stuck in the middle!



So there you have it! Many of MY childhood dreams became fulfilled and many happy memories were made!






















Stay tuned for more pics from our vacation. I know you're thrilled!

Disney Land 2011

Recently, a miracle of all miracles happened to our little family...
We actually went on vacation! Usually our vacations consist of us going to Lander Shmander, Wyoming to watch all of the legal fireworks and visit my family, but this year our vacation actually included beaches, family, and Disney Land.

One of the highlights of Disney Land for me, was the World of Color. One word - awesome. I may have even shed a tear of pure joy and excitement. Don't judge, I live a simple life.


Notice the 3 pictures on the end - in the top right one he is explaining to Steve how he is going to shoot the evil emperor, Zurg. In the last two pictures he is desperately trying to smile and concentrate on the animatronic Buzz at the same time.
I'm pretty sure this is what he was thinking at the time, when I snapped these pics...
"My wife (life) is now compwete! Buzz Wight Yeawa is my heeewo! Sut up mom - I'm watching Buzz! I hafta pee!"

The highlight of our trip for Homeboy, was seeing Buzz Light Year. Check out the "looks" of excitement that were nearly impossible to contain. It was as if the heavens opened and angels descended upon him. (Awwwwwwwwww!)

The excitement was so intense for Homeboy, even his bladder couldn't contain it's normal function. Every time we rode the Buzz Light Year ride, Homeboy would immediately display the signs of over-excited bladder.


"I wuv wegos, mom!"
Another highlight for the boys in our family was the Lego store. The displays were awesome, but I just couldn't help but think about all of the stupid Legos that I have stepped on and vacuumed over the years. Needless to say, it was a little difficult dragging Homeboy outta there. Kicking, bawling, and scowles ensued.
This concludes part-one of our Disney Land adventure! More good times are to follow!
