Isnt that hilarious? Fortunately he didnt throw up. No he saved that for later when Grandma was holding him. After the Tea Cups, we met up with Grandma who had been waiting for Cory Stephanie and Caleb on Main Street. They had decided to stop for lunch outside the park and had lost their phone so we figured we would meet them at the CBIZ luncheon at Big Thunder Ranch. It was great. They had an area roped off for all the CBIZ people (CBIZ is the company I used to work for with Cory and Dad which is where we got the tickets). The food was great and we got to visit with all our friends from the office. We met up with Cory and Stephanie at lunch and from then on we spent the rest of our time together. We rode Pirates of the Caribbean after lunch and I hoped Patrick would be ok on this one. He did get pretty nervous and ended up laying on Jesus and since it was dark he fell asleep for a few minutes. After Pirates we went on the Jungle cruise and the boys loved it. All the animals and water were very interesting. After that we made our way over to the Buzz light year ride. Patrick rode with Daddy and I rode with Grandma. Jesus said that Patrick did get kinda scared, maybe from the noise but he was excited because he got a toy gun at the beginning.
Here are some other pictures we took during the parade.
After the Parade we made our way out of the park and got this picture of me and Patrick. Doesnt he look tired?
We went to the hotel and checked in and while we were unloading mom went to go get pizza for all of us. She was a life saver all day long. Ben and Janae came and met us at the hotel for a few minutes while we ate dinner. The boys went to bed because they were so dang tired. Patrick actually fell asleep while we were all talking and eating. We decided that we wanted to go back to the park and ride as many rides as we could and Mom said she would watch the boys. So Cory, Stephanie, Jesus and I all went back to the park in the cold night air and rode a few rides. We got onto the Haunted mansion pretty quickly and the guy working on the ride scared the crap out of me. I swear I was going to go into labor. He kept coming up behind me and saying creepy things in my ear. We then made our way to Splash Mountain but Stephanie and I read the warning sign that said expectant mothers should not ride. So we sat outside and waited while the boys got wet. We got this very sad picture.
Do you like my nice sunburned chest?? We decided that we should ride the finding nemo ride since it was new and it might be worth it. We waited for about 30 minutes but this couple in front of us kept letting people in with them. There were originally only 4 of them and there ended up being 10 of them. We were really mad because we had to wait the whole time and they only waited maybe 10 minutes. Boo. Stupid crowders. Well by then we were exhausted and decided to head back. We got home around midnight and went to bed immediately. We met up with Ben and Janae in the morning and had breakfast. After that we said goodbye and headed home. Patrick was actually pretty good in the car and fell asleep twice. It made things easier since we hit a lot of traffic on the way home. Well now we are back home and getting ready to leave again. This trip should be interesting since Dad is renting his friends motor home and we are all driving together. Little boys and all. But it will be worth it when we see Sara and she walks across that stage. Well this post has ended up a lot longer than I expected but I hope it depicts how much fun we had.
What good memories! Like going through childbirth - you forget the bad parts and just remember enough to want to do it again!
