The Hghs & Lows of Our CA Adventure With Steven

Let's Begin with the Lows....
- The 7 hour drive, in particular the end when Steven started exercising his lung power
- Waiting, waiting, waiting (waiting 2 hours at the Disneyland entrance for our tickets, waiting to ride on the rides, waiting for someone to make a decision,etc., etc., etc.)
- Being unable to ride any of the fun rides due to pregnancy (which led to me waiting, waiting, waiting)
-It's A Small World (did I ever like that ride?)
- A cranky 20 month old who refused to take a nap on the first day & threw a fit before conking out on the second day
- Cranky parents who had a cranky 20 month old
- The crowds

And Now for the Highs...
- Hanging out with family
- Watching Steven freak out over the little drops on the Pirates of Caribbean and then crying for me ( I felt so loved!)
- Steven fussing because he didn't want the ride to end ( sounds like a low but it was cute, promise)
- Bryson shooting Steven with his finger in retaliation to Steven hitting him
- Having Tyler's parents there to help out with Steven, they were amazing and we are so grateful for them (especially when I was having a pregnant, emotional moment)
- Steven choosing a ball out of all the amazing toys in the souvenir shop
- Breakfast with Rebecca and Mike
-Steven and his Gramps chilling on the beach after Steven finally decided that sand was not such an awful thing to stand on
-Bryson burying himself in sand
-Naked Steven and his naked cousins getting cleaned up on the beach

...Pictures will come someday....

Oh come on, what's a vacation without tantrums, fussing and waiting when there's a 20 month old involved? Glad you had fun though! It does make me a bit nervous for the wait times we'll have at Disneyworld though!
