Happiest Place!

Well, we took a little trip, 

took a little trip, 

took a little trip... to Cali! 

And it was so lovely! 

I could have stayed another week, it was so lovely!

We did many things and had much family fun. For sure!

But the highlight of the trip was definitely Disneyland.... So fantastic!!

The longest lines were a half-hour--beautiful! 

The weather was nice. 

It was really a perfect day for Disneyland.

Oh, and it was decked out for Halloween..... 

which means we got to see the Haunted Mansion in all its Nightmare glory!! 

Huzzah!

And is it eerie that I'm so proud that the ride my son wanted 

again and again 

was "Jack"? 

And that he was so excited to go talk to Jack at the park? 

Fills me with joy.

And perfect timing for our family, too--both kids were free. 

And still, Coren could go on pretty much everything at the park.... 

And he did. 

Tower of Terror. Soarin' Over California. Thunder Mountain. 

Loved it all! 

In fact, he loved the big ones the best. 

A little thrill-seeker.... he's going to be an expensive teenager. 

But I'm glad he doesn't shy away. 

Glad he loves the big and the fast and the slightly spooky. 

That he takes life by the horns. 

Love it!

It was a really happy day at the Happiest Place on Earth.

(And to all of you wonderful people in CA

that we missed this trip.... Sorry!

We will get you next time.

There's just never enough time in Cali.

But we love you all!)
