My Kids Make Me Laugh: Disneyland!!!

Dave started the Executive MBA program at Santa Clara University this year. As part of the program, his cohort goes on a trip to China for 10 days. To try and distract the kids from his absence I planned a trip to Disneyland for the last half of Dave's trip. I'm so glad I did because Dominic has been so attached to Dave lately and he missed him so much! The morning Dave was leaving for China, I went downstairs after waking up and found this on the couch...

Dominic had woken up in the middle of the night while Dave was still up getting everything ready for his trip so Dave let him come downstairs and took a little nap with him on the couch.

Luckily my parents agreed to come along to Disneyland and help me out! I don't think it would have gone as smoothly otherwise! Even though the weather wasn't so great, we had a blast! There were no crowds, we pretty much walked onto every ride and since the park hours were shorter (10-8ish) we didn't have to get up early or stay up late! The kids met all sorts of characters (and this time Chloe wasn't afraid of them!). They went on all sorts of rides! Dominic did save one of his favorite rides for the next time he came with Daddy. One of his favorites is Soarin Over California. He went on that ride twice with Dave last time we were at Disneyland. When I asked him if he wanted to go on this time, he said "No, I go on that ride with Daddy. We should come back with Daddy." Okay. We'll most certainly do that!

Just waiting for Bachan & Jichan to wake up so we can hit the park!

IHOP & Disneyland...2 of Dominic's most favorite things!

First time on Star Tours

Mine & Dominic's scores on Toy Story Mania. When he went on again with my Mom, his scored improved to over 20,000!!

Ready for a cold & rainy day at the park

Minnie & Friends breakfast!

Chloe was SO EXCITED to meet Minnie this time!

There was something about Rabbit that Chloe just loved. She kept giving him kisses on the nose and Rabbit just loved that! He gave Chloe a really sweet hug before he went to the next table.
