On the way to Disneyland...
Bryan worked real hard to prep the boys for the trip. He downloaded cartoons, borrowed movies from the library, DVRed movies on TV, read books, and downloaded songs on iTunes to be sure they knew every character they could come in contact with on their dream vacation to Disney. His work was worth it because Nathan and Jordan were just tickled to meet all the characters and ride all the rides. I can take no credit at all for their Disney knowledge.
Meeting up with our Cali cousins at the Disney resort! It's a Nathan-sandwich!!!
Checking in at the hotel and the magic begins with fireworks and castle music on the headboard of the bed. The boys were pretty disappointed when they realized that this was Mommy and Daddy's bed and they got the pull-out couch. UNTIL, Bryan told them it was a "Transformer Couch" because it was a couch that transformed into a bed. They were totally thrilled with their "Robot bed!" Thank goodness Bryan thinks fast sometimes.
