I wish I were better at entering blogs, but I really just forget, and don't seem to have too much time on my hands. I intended to enter a blog each day while on our vacation, but at the end of the day, you're just too tired.
So, after thinking we weren't going to be able to go to Disney this year, we were able to go after all. The week before our trip Ethan came down with a terrible virus that lasted 6 days, then Madison had it for 6 days and ended the day we left. Then of course little Aidan had to get it the night before we were actually going to Disney. He had it the worst. Poor little guy. Bryan and I had decided that we were going to have to stay in the hotel for the day, and hope he got better. In the moring we told the kids that we weren't going...Madison started crying. So a couple hours went by and Aidan seemed to feel a little better, so we thought we'd go anyway. Disneyland is not the happiest place on earth when one of your kids are sick. He was miserable, and to top it off the weather was awful. Overcast and freezing. And it was like every person in the world was at Disneyland..it was so crowded. We felt like awful parents for taking him anyway. That night we tried to give him Motrin, and he threw up everywhere, so I put him in the tub and got him out, and he was shaking so bad, I thought he was going to have a seizure. It was scary. He felt so much better the next morning. We were at least able to have a little more fun, and he was smiling.
By day 3 he was feeling great and we all had a happy and sunny day at Disney. Our favorite ride this year was Toy Story Mania. I think I loved it the most. Bryan and I did not get to ride any of our favorite rides, again , since Madison and Ethan wouldn't ride them with us. And we don't really enjoy going alone. We're thinking we need to plan a trip so we can go without the kids, and ride all the rides we want. But I'm not sure how Disneyland will feel without the kids.
On Friday the 17th we went to the beach! I love the beach. Of course it was a little chilly, but so relaxing and fun. We left for home on Saturday, hoping to stay in Vegas so we could break up the drive, but the hotels were way expensive, so we drove home. 10 hours not too bad, but super exhausting.
It wasn't one of our better trips, but it was a vacation together as a family. So it was fun, and a vacation away from the everyday norm. (at least we managed to be out of town when Orem got 11 inches of crazy snow, yay us)
