We flew into San Diego on Monday to visit my other sister, Angie, and her family. When we were still in Ann Arbor I put my nieces' and nephews' pictures on the fridge so I could help Wes get to know them. When I pointed at Mitchell's picture I asked Wes if he wanted to go to Mickey Mouse's house when we went to see Mitchell. Ever after, he'd associate Mitchell with Mickey Mouse. Maybe now Mitchell will also be associated cars, trucks, and trains! :)
Mitchell wanted to hold Sydney. He tells me she's cute. I think so too!
The Happiest Place on Earth! We were celebrating Sydney and Wes' first Disneyland experience. What will you celebrate?
Angie pushing the boys as Mitchell studies the map.
The girls' stroller. Sydney's kickin' back - foot up and all.
Going on "It's a Small World"! (Try not to get the song stuck in your head...)
Sydney loved taking the train around the park.
Cute picture of Angie and Mitchell (and Wes) on the train.
We did indeed go to Mickey Mouse's house in Toon Town to get our picture taken with The Mouse himself. Wes was a little nervous (as expected), but he did say, "Bye-bye Mickey Mouse," with a timid little wave as we were leaving. As you can tell, he was holding on for dear life in this picture! :/ I din't even notice at the time. Whoops! :)
Here are Angie, Mitch, and Maddy with Mickey.
We watched the Celebrate! parade and Madison got to dance with the ladies on the street.
We were standing in the sun so it was pretty hot as you can tell from Wes' red cheeks. He still enjoyed his Mickey confetti!
The boys were tired at the end! Wes is wearing his "1st Time" button.
Sydney was definitely "All done!" as you can see from this picture. She had a look on her face like, "Mom, can we seriously get out of here already?"
Wes, Madison and Mitchell watching the lady make (yummy) tortillas in Old Town San Diego. Jennie and Mike had to fly to L.A. on Monday so Mike could testify in a federal trial (that a whole other story!) and then they drove down to San Diego on Tuesday so they could hang out with us. They flew out Wednesday, but we got together for lunch at a Mexican Cafe in Old Town first.
