Halloween Disney Trip!

We just returned from a family trip to Disneyland and boy was it interesting! The trip began with extremely cold and rainy weather. We promised the boys we would take them to the beach the first day and quickly figured out why no one else was there. Ethan and Carson put their swimsuits on anyway and braved the freezing water. Mason and I stayed put on the blanket and huddled together for warmth. I didn't get many shots of the beach because it was so freaking cold!

The trip consisted of two boys with steady fevers and one black eye. Carson thought it would be fun to crawl out of the hotel crib on the hour every hour which resulted in him smacking his eye into the coffee table. We learned to NEVER prepay for a hotel room when you're traveling with toddlers! Aside from all of the mishaps it was a great time and we're so happy we got the chance to see Disneyland during a fun holiday like Halloween.

Great view of the castle but not so great of Walt Disney's missing head - oops!

Riding the teacups!

Loving on Chip...or was it Dale?

Tigger!

My absolute favorite ride when I was little was the Haunted Mansion. They decorated it in The Nightmare Before Christmas theme and it did not disappoint! It was by far the best ride there!

Not sure why Ethan is grabbing Pluto's crotch or why seconds later his "master" came and took him away from the boys. Hmmm......

Cutest. Mouse. Ever.

Also the cutest mouse ever....with a black eye! This picture is a little blurry but it got worse before it got better.

Ethan hugging Eeyore at the character breaksfast.

Ethan sure looks happy here but later told me that Captain Hook was very mean bad guy. :)

They really go all out for Halloween at Disneyland! I had no idea what to expect but it really got us in the Halloween spirit even more....if that's even possible!


Amazing Mickey Mouse pumpkin display!

Ethan continues his love affair with Jessie from Toy Story. Wonder what he said to make her blush?

Carson pre-black eye!

Pumpkin and Apple Picking

We made our second annual trip to Gilcrease Orchard this year and it did not disappoint. Last year we made the mistake of going too late when everything was picked over. This year we had so many pumpkins and apples that we had to put some back. The boys really enjoyed themselves. Happy Fall!!

Teeth Time!

I thought it would be smart to schedule dental appointments for all 3 boys at the same time. Little did I know we would be there for 2 hours!! Lesson learned, but we made the best of it. The only time it became unbearable was when we were stuck in the exam room for an hour with nothing but dental tools and latex gloves to entertain us.


Ethan was such a big boy and had no cavities! Yay Ethan!!


Carson watched Ethan carefully the whole time and then hopped right up in the chair ready for the exam. Unfortunately I couldn't get any pictures of Mason because he was screaming the crying the entire exam. We'll try again next time Mason!
