Happiest Place On Earth???

I'm not so sure anymore! Last week we spent three and a half days at Disneyland/California adventure, and we had more than our share of moments that looked like this:

The look on Jeff's face cracks me up. I can just hear him, "Lexi, we asked you not to _________ " (take Jackson's bottle, hit Jackson, hit mommy, hit daddy, climb on the railing, pull mom's hair, etc.)! I don't think Lexi has ever been so naughty! But, despite her bad behavior, the long lines, and the unexpectedly cold weather, we still had some fun.

On the first day there, a women came up to us and was cracking up. She looked at Jackson and said, "now that's JackJack (from the Incredibles) if I've ever seen him!" She couldn't believe that his name was actually Jackson, and we do call him JackJack sometimes. Everyone at the gym daycare calls him that, too.

So, what do you think? Do you see the resemblance? Pretty funny.
On Wednesday our good friends, the Banners, came to spend the afternoon with us. It was so fun to see them. Thanks for meeting us on a cold, windy day!Lexi and Kaitlyn have so much fun together. Here they are giving their CHEESIEST smiles!
That same evening Jeff's dad came and met us at Disneyland. He was so nice to watch the kids so Jeff and I could go on a few rides together. He also spoiled the kids at the toy store.

He got Jackson his first official Disneyland attire!

Lexi picked a pack of princesses. She was in heaven playing with them back at the hotel. I looked over at her right as she was going to sleep, and I loved how she had lined them all up in a row next to the bed.

On Thursday Jeff's sister, Emily, met us with her kids, and it was fun to see them.
One of the benefits of Lexi being a giant is that at 2 1/2 she already meets the 40" height requirement for many of the rides. On this trip she rode the Matterhorn, Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, and Splash Mountain. I think this is how she got through all the big rides!

And I think this was Jackson's favorite ride for the week (as Jeff was wheeling the luggage from the hotel)!

At the end of the trip, we were all pretty exhausted. (I love how Jackson is sucking on Jeff's sweatshirt in this!) We're happy to be home for a while. I told Jeff no more trips until summer!
