Well the weekend of it all about me is over. I had a great birthday and mom’s day. The kids woke up this morning and played in Justin’s room. We had to call them down for breakfast. That never happens and unfortunately it happens on a pre school morning. I dropped the kiddos off at school. I hated to leave them after a great weekend with them. I did stay for a bit and read books to them. I came home while they were at school, did laundry, and hung out with dad (he is working from home). Grandma/pa were supposed to come over today. Grandma was supposed to babysit while grandpa and I went to the movies. However, both are feeling under the weather today. I hated breaking the news to the kids that they weren’t coming. But I decided to take the kiddos to CA Adventure instead. We came home and had lunch then the kiddos watched a little Blues Clues on daddy’s computer. Of course they pretended they were characters from Blues Clues. Justin really wanted to take the shuttle to CA Adventure. Since the stroller line wasn’t too bad we took the shuttle. It was fun exploring CA Adventure. When we first got there we went to the pier. The kids rode on the carousal there (under the sea theme). Justin got on a dolphin and Nikki on a fish. Then we headed over to the ferris wheel. The kiddos met a little boy and we ended up going in the same car thing. The kids all had a great time together. N&J weren’t too into trying new things. At first they said they didn’t want to go on the ferris wheel but had a great time. Justin wanted to ride the little roller coaster but I needed Bret with me to be able to do that as Nikki didn’t want to. We explored a bit and went into the tortilla and bread factories. The kids just loved looking around at the big roller coasters, the roaring rapids, etc. We saw some characters, Brother Bear and Koda (too scary for the kids) and Minnie Mouse. Nikki gave Minnie a hug and Minnie gave her a kiss, so cute. Then we headed over to see the animation area. The kids watched Crush’s show. I was so happy that they called on Nikki to ask Crush a question. She asked if the water was warm or cold? He asked her the same thing about the temp. She said it was warm. He asked her about Buzz Lightyear but Nikki doesn’t really know about him too much, so she says he goes to outer space. I was sad that Justin didn’t get to ask a question too. They didn’t seem to take as many questions as last time but the kids still loved the show. We looked around the animation area and the kids watched some things on the screen, they were so excited when they saw Lady and the Tramp. However, some things were scary for Nikki. We got a smoothie after. The only reason I mention this smoothie is the kiddos were nuts for it. I can’t believe how much they loved that thing. The kids wanted to see the parade, so we went and got a good spot. The parade was great and the kids loved it. Then we headed home. Nikki kept on complaining she was tired. We had a late dinner and then the kids got wild. They were acting out the parade. But they did go to bed once we turned out the lights.
