And Some More Disneyland

When I look back at this trip to Disneyland, what I want to remember the most was how amazing all of the kids were at sticking together and having a great time. The teenagers, especially, were so impressive. They stuck with us as we worked slowly through the park negotiating babies and toddlers, strollers and diapers. For the adults, figuring out where to go and how to get everybody to each place was time consuming and difficult ... but worth it ... and we couldn't have had nearly the success if we had any grumpy or moody teenagers. These kids were awesome and helpful and just plain fun to be with. I have the best nieces and nephews!

Mary and Marie were fast friends and quickly became inseparable, not only at Disneyland but through the entire reunion. I have always been concerned that Marie doesn't have any cousins within a year of her age in either direction. It appears the two year age difference doesn't mean a thing.

This family of mine makes me the craziest and the happiest I have ever been. I love all these fabulous people, both for the "crazy -ies" and the "happy-ies".

The two "M"s ride the Teacups with Grandma.

Anne strongly expresses her opinion of the Teacups.

I make a valiant effort at a group photo. I forgot to kid the kids in on the valiant effort part.

 Nap time! I took a break from the rides to hang out with all the littles. I can't say I minded it one bit.

Autopia. One of my favorite rides at Disneyland. Maybe because it lasts more than 30 seconds?

Haha! I love the interaction between William and Marie in this picture.
