Clearly, I should have posted this in March when we actually went to Disneyland, but this way we can drag out the magic of Disney! I also realize that this post would have been best seperated into days, but let's be honest, we're lucky that I'm even blogging!
This vacation started out as talk during a family dinner at Dustin's parent's house. Soon enough, though, Dustin's sister had it all planned (she's a serious planer), and us "fly-be-the-seat-your-pants" kind of people were tagging along.
Before we get to far into this story, let me point out that from the months of October to March, the Lawn Ranger family is bound by weather, more specifically snow. So after packing up the van and programming the van's GPS (Dustin calls her Martha), we were set. Or so I thought. Snow fell that night and Dustin was stuck in Cedar plowing that darn white stuff while I tackeled the challenge of driving myself, my boys, and Aunt Shelley to Anaheim, California.
By the sheer hand of Heavenly Father (and some serious help from my co-pilot), we made it safely. I had booked a flight for both Dustin and Spencer so that they could sleep all the way to California after staying up all night plowing. But their plane got stuck in Salt Lake, and they ended up driving and arriving the next day.
Now that we're all in Anaheim, let's play!
Hooray, dad made it! I'm not sure who needed him more...the boys or mom!
Jax enjoying a turkey leg. He pretty much ate the whole thing by himself.
The wonderful thing about Tiggers are Tiggers are wonderful things :) Especially to the Wild Whitt boys!
Enjoying some playground time while the big kids ride the Grizzly Rapids.
Which one is not like the others...
You can do it, Jaybird
Okay, maybe Jax can do it...
We talked the boys out of buying a souvenir at every store at the end of every ride by bribing them with these cars. It was a store called Ridemakerz in Downtown Disney. Finally, someone got smart and created the equivalent of Build-A-Bear for "boys" :)
I think Dustin enjoyed customizing these remote control cars as much as Jase & Jax!
This is Jax concentrating. The wheels had to be just so, and the tongue definitely helps with concentration.
Okay, we're ready to go home. Can you believe my kids actually said they were tired of Disneyland and ready for their own house? Well, they did. We packed up the van, the boys clutched their new cars, and Dad drove us home. Oh, how I love the passenger seat!

Okay, the car thing is awesome! I can't wait to do Disneyland, I'll probably cry;)
Diddo to what Crystal said.
And I really can't believe your kids were asking to leave Disneyland to go home. I mean, not that the Wild Whitt household isn't like Disneyland...'cause it's better.
