an update.

While Van is busy dancing with Chip and Dale, and hugging all the characters...Vin is staying as far away as possible.  Vin would rather play with his $7 balloon, and shoot his $12 gun that blows bubbles.

Our first day started off with yummy breakfast at Molly's.

{side note: Who eats a nice breakfast before Disneyland?  No kids in the entire restaurant...besides ours!}

Paul was and is still not 100%, but that wasn't going to stop me {or so I thought}.  I ventured to Disneyland BY MYSELF with two kids.  I started off good, I took the kids on rides...and then 4 hours in...Vin was tired.  Of course, Van showed no signs of stopping, and wanted Vin to do the same.  I may have had a meltdown, yes there were tears.  Embarassing, right?  I just needed my man to be with me being the good Daddy that he is. 

We ate the corn dogs I have been craving since the last time I had them, and trust me...they are as good as I remember.  No wonder the line to get one looks like it could be a line to get on a ride.

Paul came and literally saved the day!!

He took Van on some bigger rides, we all went on some smaller rides as a family, and when Vin appeared to be all spent...Daddy took him to the hotel while Van and I lived it up. 

My goals for this vacation were to eat a corn dog, get a tan {I may look like a lobster right now, and it feels sooo good!}, and have fun...all three were met in the first day here.  Bring on the next 8.

Oh and PS I should not have bought the port-o-crib.  Vin hates it, and has slept in the big bed both nights...as long as he is sleeping, I don't care!
