Disneyland

We got to take Wes to Disneyland for Thanksgiving! It was actually a huge group of mostly Dave's family plus my parents. So there were about 25 of us! A little crazy trying to keep us all moving in the same direction but we tried to stick together at least for the first day. The second day we split up and were able to move a little faster being in smaller groups.

Of course the bigger kids wanted to do the fast rides and Wesley and his entourage stuck to Fantasy land and the like. Highlights were:

1. The Carousel. He kept saying, "More neigh, more neigh"- so cute! Good thing there was basically no line so we did it over and over again!

2. The Pixar parade. It had all his favorite characters from the movies- Lighting McQueen, Sully, Nemo, etc! It was so sweet to see his face light up when he saw them!

3. Small World ride. It was decorated for Christmas and playing Christmas music- I got teary eyed watching his young mind take in all the wonders. I kept looking at Dave saying, "Can you believe this is our kid and we are at Disneyland with him!" Sometimes it just hits you afresh what a blessing it is to have a child and experience the world again with them- Thank you Jesus!

4. Train ride. There is a train that runs along the outskirts of the whole park and makes various stops. Wesley is so into cars and trains it was so fun taking him on a real one with a steam engine and all!

PS we are all wearing dorky blue hats because Dave's dad bought them for us and insisted we wear them so we could spot each other.....humiliating- yet effective....so we caved...

PPS- If you didn't already know we are having a BOY!!! Yes Wes will get a brother and I will be living in a house of testosterone....what is a girl to do!?! I guess get use to trucks, trains, and boy humor and try to stay as girly as possible. We are stoked and can't wait to meet our new little man!
