Vegas & Disneyland

Gymnastic season has begun and so every weekend we're off to compete!  It's been really fun.  2 weeks ago we were in Vegas which was fun for a day and then I couldn't wait to get out of there.  We stayed at Circus Circus and we took the kids to see the Pirate show at Treasure Island and the water show at the Bellagio, but after that I was so tired of having to shield my boys eyes.  Finally Zachary just buried his face in my side and walked looking at the ground.  At one point I felt so overwhelmed at trying to protect my children from all the pornography that surrounded us I wanted to cry.  But once we were in our hotel room I was better.  The next day before Josh's meet we took the kids to the M&M store and let them pick their favorite colors in M&M's. 

Then we were off to Josh's meet.  He did a really good job, there was A LOT of HARD competition there.  He took 2nd place on the Pommel Horse and Floor and 4th place on the Parallel Bars.  He took 6th on the Rings and 6th place all around.  After the meet we left Vegas!! and drove to LA to surprise the kids with 2 days at Disneyland.  They were so excited.  We got to the hotel late that night and they had NO idea where we were, so when we got up that morning and got ready and started driving Tyler says to me, "Mom, I just saw a bus that said Disneyland on it." me, "You did?" then there were flags on the light poles, "mom, are we going to Disneyland, where are we?"  me, "I don't know what do you think?" by then we were driving into the parking lot and they were so excited Zach says, "hand me that blanket, I need a moment alone"  he covered himself, face and all with the blanket and started screaming.  It was hilarious.  I love moments like that.  Needless to say the 2 days at Disneyland were priceless.  The weather was 78-80 degrees.  The crowds were minimal.  It was wonderful!! 

We got to spend the day with our cousins from Utah!  Olivia & Sophie. 

This picture says it all... This is Josh's first time on California Scream'n

Don't let this picture fool you, he loved it, they went on it about 10 times.  

We even had a visitor with us.  Zachary got to travel with Flat Stanley.  (This is actually a real quick drawing that I had to do, because I completely forgot the real one at home.) But here he is...

Flat Stanley even got to ride the Matterhorn!!
