Traveling Fools

My mom and Dad were kind enough to watch the kids while Kevin and I headed off to Austin for our friends Greg and Robyn's wedding.  We arrived Thursday evening and met up with some friends for dinner then headed to the hotel to get some sleep.

Friday was exceptionally cold!  We still decided to brave the freezing temperatures and headed out to explore downtown Austin.  Here we are in front of the UT tower.

We also went into the State Capital, which is a really cool building.

Love these door jams of the State Supreme Court.

Kevin was apart of the wedding party, here's just the grooms side!

Hanging with buddies...

The happy couple...

And more buddies.

The reception was so much fun, it was at a German House that served schnitzel and brawts and they even hired an Elvis impersonator.  What a great weekend, thanks mom and dad for watching the kids.

It's Valentine's Day and Wyatt was so happy with all of his cards he received from his school friends.  He said something like, "Mom people must really love me, because I got a lot of cards!"  

Kevin and I celebrated a day early to beat the crowds, we went to a favorite of ours, Benihana, to celebrate, as always it was an entertaining night.

The last week of February Kevin had to go to Detroit for work, so I decided to take the kids to Vegas for four days using Carlee and Kathleen's timeshare that was about to expire.  My friend Stacey and her son Austin stayed with us and we were also able to visit Andy and Jamie and their little guys.  It was a fun getaway.  Unfortunately I did not take the camera, so therefore no pictures to posts.  But we did a lot of sight seeing, the Bellagio gardens and fountains, which they loved, the Shark Reef, again loved, the Mirage volcano show, which they did not love, I heard several "Mom this is too scary" from Wyatt, and the Miracle Mile of Shops.  We also did a lot of swimming at the hotel pool, I'm glad it was nice weather so we could enjoy everything.

The first weekend Kevin got back we drove up to Laguna for the day to visit friends.  It was fun just to hang out at their beautiful beach rental for the day and enjoy a BBQ.  Of course the kids didn't mind the luke warm hot tub either.

And finally...we went to Disneyland for a day.  Kevin took a random Thursday off and we loved every minute of it.  The kids had so much fun and were so well behaved all day!  Luke took a nap at the park but Wyatt passed out in the car on the ride home around five and slept until seven the next morning!

The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show is always a big hit.  Luke particularly enjoyed it, he sang and danced the entire half hour.

Having fun dancing with Mickey and Friends.

It was a pretty empty day, walking over to Bug's Land, as you can see lately Luke is not a big fan of sitting in the stroller.

Bumper Bugs!  Wyatt always wanted to ride with Daddy of course.

Enjoying the caterpillar slow coaster.

On this part I'm probably enjoying the delicious smells, this part smells like cookies or watermelon, this caterpillar like to eat everything.  Luke kept sniffing and saying "yummy."

We all ate corn dogs for lunch, man they're good, it's been awhile.

Wyatt was so excited to see Lightening McQueen driving by.

Wyatt and Daddy going on a "big kid ride", the jumping jelly fish.

It's a family event saying hi to Woody.

Kevin took the boys on the carousel.

Luke loves Donald, he was beyond thrilled.

Wyatt didn't want to dance to much or be on display, but Luke was happy to jump in and be part of the show at Cars Land.

I can't believe he actually wanted to ride Radiator Springs, he is finally tall enough and I think he was terrified, but he went on it twice, once with Kevin and once with me.  He did love the fact that it's a convertible, he always asks if we can buy a convertible car, because those are his favorites.

Just a quick hi to Mater.

As we were walking into Disneyland we saw Pluto, Pluto is definitely Luke's favorite.  They were both so excited and he was so cute with the kids.  He even stole Wyatt's hat, which they both thought was hilarious.

Luke checking out Mr. Toad's car while Wyatt and Kevin went on the tea cups.

Kevin said he liked the tea cups and tried to steer the wheel to make it spin more.

That day it really was the happiest place of Earth.
