{Disneyland Day 4}

After some much needed sleep last night we all woke up refreshed and ready for anther day in Disneyland. We started out with the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage:

It was so cute! At first Will didn't know what to think but once we started seeing all the fun fish he loved it! He kept pressing his face up against the glass and pointing at all the fish and calling them Coco (his Aunt Whitni's little dog, to Will any small animal is Coco:).

Then we met up with the fam at the King Arthur Carousel:
Will was NOT lovin the carousel and wouldn't even sit on a horse! So far Dumbo and the Carousel are the only thing Will is scared of.

Then we all did 'It's a Small World' together

Pa Pa & Will


And then we took Thompson's, Pa Pa & Grandma on
Casey's Jr Circus Train again:

Will loves his Grandma!

Aren't these two train lovers adorable?!

Mike & Justin went to pick up some fast passes and I braved
Autopia alone with Will!

And of course let HIM drive:
Will LOVED it! He is obsessed with pretending to drive our car so when he actually thought he was in control of his little car he was pretty focused on what he was doing. It was pretty stinkin cute!

Next we convinced Pa Pa and Grandma to ride the Disneyland Train around the park with us a few times.

Then Will beat up on Pa Pa before his nap (Will's nap, not Pa Pa's nap, but maybe Pa Pa needed one too :)
After a fabulous nap for all the Scott's we headed back to the park for some more fun with Thompson's on Autopia.......again!

Jessica, Will, & Mike
Mike and I decided to walk around CA Adventure so I could get my FAVORITE corn dog ever from the Corn Dog Castle:
But they were CLOSED! Sad day for me :(

We decided to do Heimlich's Chew Chew Train and got some pretty cute pics while we waited in line:
Will refused to look at the camera!

So we fought it out :)

And Momma sort of won :)

Watching the 'choo choo'
Okay so for anyone headed to CA Adventure, don't waste your time riding Heimlich's Chew Chew Train! It was ridiculously stupid! Even Will was bored, it was slow, boring, and just plain stupid. Ha ha lesson learned!

I headed back to the hotel, bathed Will, put him to bed, and watched the amazing fireworks show from our room again:

While Mike & Justin battled it out on Buzz!
Mike=Space Ranger 1 & Justin=Space Ranger 2

Justin=Space Ranger 1 & Mike=Space Ranger 2
Oh man our hubbies are such dorks! I am so glad they get along so well and have so much fun hanging out. They are obsessed with Buzz and rode it 14 times in a row thanks to all the fast passes they collected. I am pretty sure the Disneyland employee's got a good laugh watching two grown men compete over and over again :) Love it!

{Disneyland Day 3}

This is how we roll on vacation:
What a silly kid! Will insisted on wearing Dad's sunglasses while he ate breakfast this morning. I love the crazy things this little boy does :) After breakfast we grabbed a rental car and headed to San Diego for Amanda+Ben's wedding. We had a really fun drive down with Aimee and felt bad for all the detours we ended up taking while my Dad and Brandi were following us. But we eventually made it and I learned to ALWAYS double check the address in the GPS because your hubby might change it during the night and forget to change it back :) Love ya babe, and yep its BOTH our faults ;).

La Jolla Beach

I LOVE my crazy sister Aimee

Mike & Will
So Mike doesn't normally wear board shorts to a wedding but somehow from Disneyland to La Jolla we lost a button on his khaki's! Good thing I had brought a pair of shorts for after the wedding! Ha ha I am pretty sure people must have thought he was a little under dressed though.

Then the beautiful bride arrived:


As soon the wedding got started Will was super busy and kept running to the side of the beautiful but rocky cliff. Good thing Mike is such a good Daddy and kept him entertained so I could be present for the wedding.


The both said I Do:

The happy couple :)



Mr & Mrs Mahoney
I love this next pic:
Notice the top right corner by the limo? That was how Mike enjoyed the wedding walking up and down the beach to entertain Will! It was such a beautiful wedding! Congrats again guys.

Next we dropped Aimee off at Sea World and headed to Balboa Park. We headed to the Model Train Museum and Will was so excited! He loved watching all the different trains going around on all the different tracks. It was pretty sweet!

I am so glad we decided to take Will to the train museum. He absolutely loved it! It is so much fun watching him experience new things and find so much joy in our experiences. This trip couldn't have came at a better time with Will's current obsession with 'choo choo's'. Seriously being a parent is the best :)

the family
After the train museum we called up our friends the Joyce's and they suggested the best Pizzeria to meet for dinner. Will was seriously the CRAZIEST I have ever seen him! I think being strapped in the car all day had definitely wore on his last nerve and he wanted to make sure we knew it. He ran around the restaurant the whole time while we tried to eat. Then he started to scream high pitched little screams. And the icing on the cake was him escaping out the front door and being less than happy to be forced back into the restaurant. HOLY EMBARRASSING! I guess it cant always be easy right guys?! Ha ha luckily John, Sarah, and even Julian were very understanding and we ate fast and took off. Regrettably we didn't take one picture in all the chaos so I stole this from their facebook:
Aren't they the cutest family ever?!

The drive back to Anaheim was long. We ALL wanted to be back to the hotel. Despite every one's grumpiness we were all content to just be together as a family. I love Mike so much and I am so lucky to have such an awesome husband. He makes everything we do fun and can always help me laugh at the situation at hand. Will definitely sensed our contentment and mellowed for the ride home :)

Seriously I LOVE my little family so much!
