Yesterday Isaac, Chris and i took in Disneyland!! It was a beautiful day.....it was nice to have isaac a year older than last year and be able to really enjoy the day enstead of being more freaked out than happy! The 3 of us walked around for over 7 hours.....my favorite, as always, is Space Mountain! Isaacs' favorite is Star Wars, and Chris is happy on any ride that doesn't make him barf!
We got home around 7:30 to see that Elliot was still awake playing happily with the Inch's.....Jackie and Kevin said they had a nice day with him, and that he is a very easy baby. He didn't nap, he helped them pick out a Christmas tree at Target, he grazed on grapes, apples, carrots, and ate his cheerios with a fork like everyone else at the dinner table.....so a pretty typical 'elliot' day. i have to be honest, we all missed elliot at Disneyland, which is why we headed home a little earlier than we normally would have (we missed the parade to get home)....but it was so nice to see that he had a fun day too.
We are heading out to Elizabeth's Christmas play this afternoon.....somehow she forgot to mention that she needed some antlers for the play (which is in 2 hours) so Jackie has been racing around to over 5 stores trying to find a pair for her--i guess i have that to look forward to too!
Chris, Kevin and Isaac are out right now looking to buy to snow chains for our van before we head out tommorow morning...the weather looks absolutly WICKED for the next 10 days! lots and lots of snow consistently...so we are nervous for the drive home. We are planning to log 10 hours tommorow and 10 hours the next day...sigh..i hope its not as scary as last year. We are going to do our best to avoid the higher elevations.
I walked with Kevin again this morning......i am not sure if he picked up his pace, or if my legs are just exhausted over the last 3 days of lots of walking (min. 5 miles each day..disneyland definatly more)--but i had a tough time keeping up near the end of the hour that i actually let him do the last long lap on his own.....i made his typical milkshake that i have been having since our arrival - just following suit since he has lost over 20 pounds doing this--but its ice, 2 bananas, yogurt, an egg, and an orange. Totally orange julius style--the raw egg still makes me hurl a little, but i try not to think of it!
Ok---time to get rolling here......wish us luck on the roads!!
