Our flight to LAX was interesting. We had to bring our carseats since we were driving back to Nebraska after the trip was over. So we carried Akoy's huge carseat on the plane. SOOOOO worth it! He does so much better being buckled in. We flew into Huston and had a 4 hour layover. Akoy was pretty good, he mostly ran around the airport. After we boarded our second flight and got all situated we looked over to find Akoy knocked out. He was so tired, and buckled into his carseat, so he crashed. It was such a relief. Lily slept most of the flight which means we got to catch up on sleep from waking up at 3:30a.m. to make the first flight. Akoy woke up 5 minutes before the captain announced we were descending. Best 4 hour flight ever!

When we got to Disneyland later that day we met up with the rest of the family. They had driven in the night before. Akoy was so excited to see everyone. He loves seeing all the family, especially the attention they give him. My mother in law broke her ankle a few weeks before the trip. Bummer, but thanks to her, we got to ride most of the rides by going through the exit because of her wheel chair! Akoy and Addi both loved riding with their grandma. I don't even know why we brought our double stroller. Both kids were rarely in it.
Thanksgiving Day was a special day. It was the entire reason we went. Bryson's brother got engaged. We went to Aeriel's Grotta for lunch. All the princesses were coming around to the tables. Anna, Bradley's new fiance's favorite was Cinderella. As they got autographs and pictures, Bradley busts into song, distracts Anna and sings her a song. Cinderella came back with a pillow and a glass slipper with a ring in it and Bradley goes down on a knee and proposes. It was so cute! I have to admit, I cried. :) It was fun to get to know Anna a little better on this trip, since we haven't really met her. It will be fun having Bryson's family grow a little more. We are really excited for Bradley.

Every day was spent riding rides and spending time with family. We would go until late at night until the park closed. Akoy took one nap during all four days. A couple of the nights he feel asleep on the way back to the hotel. Lily was a good sport during the trip. She mostly liked to be held, and sleep. There is a baby area in both parks. I didn't always feed her in them, but tried to at least once a day. It was so nice to have a clean and quiet place to change and feed her. Amanda and I loved going to them.

We had a great trip and a LONG drive back to Nebraska from California. The kids did great and we only lost a window and the Buick emblem thing on the front of the car we drove back. BUT we made it safely and that's all that matters!

Lily is just to die for! She's growing so fast. I'll bet Akoy had so much fun. That is such a magical age :)
