playing hooky…

lately, mikey’s been asking if we could go to disneyland again.  phil was post-call this past friday and suggested we go once he got home.  i reminded him that mikey had preschool.  an executive decision was made to let him play hooky so that we could enjoy a family day together.  well worth it, i say.

mikey always asks to ride the train as soon as we get there.  hokey as it may be, he especially loves the dinosaur scene.  we ended up riding around the park twice just so he could see them again.  my happy boy in line for the train:

hooray, the train’s finally here!

mikey’s next favorite– the cars, of course!

to infinity and beyond!  (i wanted mikey to meet buzz by himself, but he wouldn’t go until i said i’d go with him.  so we ended up with a group shot!  )

round and round the merry-go-round:

then we park-hopped over to california adventure for the rest of the day.

‘a’ is for allie!

my cutie boy. 

we got there just in time to catch a high school musical mini-performance.  i had no idea what this was– a tv show?  a movie?  a reality show?  phil informed me that it’s like a modern day “grease”.  though i might be totally out of it, my girl totally is not.  allie was really in to watching the performers, moving and grooving up on daddy’s shoulders.  so cute, but oh boy, it makes me wonder what lies in store for us with this little girlie.

sweet little lauren was a trooper, hanging out with me in the baby bjorn for most of the day.  she kept craning her head to try and see what was going on out there.

so it occurred to me that she might like the view facing outward.  at first, she kept pressing her head back into me.  but i think she did like it after all.  wah, what happened to my little newborn?

this picture makes me smile.

as mikey used to say, “what a great day!”
