Disneyland !
We valet parked Baverly at the restaurant. Only because when we drove into the parking facility we noticed that she exceeded the height requirements. hee hee
Now Bav's doesn't have fancy gadgetry or special features. No bells or whistles We were not about to drive her to California with 5 kids and no movies to keep them happy. Luckily we have a DVD player...it however straps to the head rest and Baverly doesn't have head rests. Bench seats.
Being extremely creative and very handy, J rigged up her own entertainment system. :) ha ha There's nothing a little pvc pipe, straps and a 2x4 can't fix.
Ok so we finish dinner and we were standing waiting for Bav's. who is only a few feet away (
they couldn't fit her any where else either) and there is this woman standing near us, also waiting for her car. The guy heads over to retrieve our van and I jokingly say, "wait, wait, there must be a mistake, we have the Jaguar with the 5 carseats."
The classy, although dressed in a nice sweatsuit lady gives me a courtesy laugh and then I hear her say out loud as Bav's pulls up..."WOW
I wasn't sure what shocked her more. The sight of Baverly, the white trash entertainment system, the garbage from driving for 2 days with 7 people spilling out when the door opened, or all 5 of our kids screaming in circles around the parking garage.
We loaded up and as we clicked in I glanced over to see this same woman climbing into her convertible Bentley.
Seriously. I don't think I've ever been grounded more than at that moment. My reality was just that obvious
Jan's sister lives 20 min. from the happiest place on earth. She also has a 13, 15 and 21 yr old who live at home and LOVE babies. :) We love them ! A LOT !
Thursday we dropped the babies off and spent a Magical day at Disneyland.
(our version of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil)
(I love this picture of Spencer and Mickey Mouse)
Day 2 at Disney we had all 5. 2 double strollers. It was INSANE
We didn't have a good day at Disney that day. In fact, at several times during the day we said to each other...."let's just go, nobody is having fun." but we didn't. We stayed and dealt with the tantrums and fighting and tired kids and made it to the pixar parade where the kids experienced another magical moment meeting their favorite characters in real life.
At one point Sydney said, "This is the WORST experience at Disneyland, EVER."
Well, I'm not sure if that was exactly what I said, but looking at the pictures that's all I can come up with :)
Nathan watching the Pixar Parade. He kept screaming. he loved it.
