Promises Kept

As promised, here are a few shots of the fam from Disneyland. As I know how exciting it can be to view others vacation pics, I've kept them down to a minimum. Enjoy!



Little E and SuperWife got to join the parade. E had been dying to do this from the first day in the park and it took until the fourth day to finally get in there. They would just grab people from in the crowd and form a quasi-conga line around a couple floats.


We just happened to be in the right place at the right time for this one. It was still early in the a.m. so Big T was still waking up and shy. E, however, just ran over to good ol' Handy Manny and gave him a huge hug and posed for this great pic. It's hard to get the characters because the ones in costume are only out for about 15 minutes at a time before they go back on breaks.

That's us in the first row of the horse drawn car. When we arrived at the spot for the pickup, my first thought was, "Front row! Awesome, the kids will love this." My second thought, which followed soon after was, "Hmmm, I get to stare at the ass of this horse for the whole ride. Maybe this wasn't such a great idea." And yes, you could smell the horse from our seat. It was what you'd expect a horse's ass to smell like.

Just E enjoying another ride on the carousel. How can you say no to a kid who wants to ride every time she walks by when you get this face while she's riding? You can't.

Hanging in a teacup. E was still in the bad part of her cold on this night, and that sweatshirt I'm wearing is brand new, as I forgot to pack one. We took a second trip to Company D in order to purchase one for me. I actually ended up with two, and another hat. But at the prices they offer, it's hard to pass them up.

The kids celebrating another birthday in Disneylaned. That's Patrick Edward Cake in the back there. Pat E. Cake as he's known to his friends.

Riding on Dumbo with E next to me. Not much to say about this one, but I thought it was a pretty cool picture.
