California

At the airport ready to take off! Noah was sure to have his "doggie" with him wherever we went. It really was almost a hassle free trip except for some confusion on our seats since we were holding Noah, so as we were walking on to board we had to back up and go back to the ticket booth and have someone switch seats with us, and then board. But after that we were in the clear!



This is Noah's second cousin Caden. They got right to business with a snack first thing. Caden is 8 months old and as you will see the happiest thing on earth.


They both thought this was really funny. Since Noah couldn't get in the toy, so he made due with going under the toy.


Tony was very exited that they had the Wii. So he made sure to pack a special outfit for the momentous occasion. We actually really got into this, and played doubles tennis every night, even until midnight on our last day!



They guys boxing.


Tony and Noah outside enjoying the great weather. It was 65 degree's the entire time. Absolutely fabulous! We think we need to move now...



Noah spots the water feature they have on the side of the house.



DISNEYLAND!!

Noah was all about ordering his own ticket at the booth!


And we are in....


We made it! I think Tony is more exited than everyone combined and he has been here far more than anyone! But we had to get "the picture" at the entrance. Which was hard considering we went during spring break and EVERYONE was there and taking the same shots as we were.


Going up Tarzan's tree house. This thing had more stairs...someone should have warned me...



This is Lara, Nick and Caden. We were able to stay at there house. It was so much fun! They also are the only other cousin's to have kids so it was fun to be able to talk kid stuff with them.



Waiting to get on the jungle ride. Which Noah couldn't wait for until he saw the animals in the water. Then he flipped around and did a neck hold the rest of the ride.


He finally took a much needed 30 minute nap. Naps were rare on the trip but he didn't seem to mind much so we were able to do a ton of stuff!


And Mr. Toads wild ride. Which Noah loved and I was surprised. But these two had the most fun making faces the whole time.



Tony and Lara felt the kid's really needed to go on Dumbo, so they waited in the 40 minute line while Nick and I played with them, then right at the front we did the hand off. And they were right, they really loved the 60 second adventure. I can't wait until they can talk and tell us all about it!



Tony and Nick went on the Matter horn. This was the "picture opportunity" spot. So we just had to follow suit.



SAN DIEGO ZOO!


We hit the zoo the next day, but we were all noticeably tired from the day before. The kids continued to do great though. This is the entrance and there were two elephants on either side as you went in. So cool!


These were the elephants. They were huge and sort of in the middle of the park. Just kinda there. But everyone loved being that close, except for the smell...


The boys with the boys. I think they got tired of being in the strollers. They were strapped in a contraption most of the time so this was a great way to let them see everything.
Noah seeing the lions.

At the monkey exhibit.

The flamingo's where so colorful! I have never seen so many, that were so colorful. I didn't take to many animal pic's because they aren't that interesting in the long run.

On the air tram. This was so neat. It let you overlook the entire park in the air. Again, Noah really wanted to go on, but once it started he did the choke hold the entire time.


This was the outside of the panda park. Everyone wanted to see the panda's and we didn't want to wait in the line, so we went to the backside and spotted a few, then took the picture to prove we were there.
On the way home from a fast and fun weekend. The line you see in the back is for the only McDonald's in the airport. I kid you not, it was longer than the security line. I did attempt to grab something and after 20 minutes and two people away, I was called to board the flight!!
Just bein' silly.

Noah loved seeing all the cars and airplanes. This was our plane for the flight home, and Noah was letting everyone know it was there.
Once on the plane Noah got right to business studying the safety info.

...Opening and closing the trays...


...and putting the shades up and down a million times...but at this point it is whatever keeps him entertained. The only problem was we hadn't even taken off yet! Thankfully he did sleep on me for over an hour and only woke up once we landed so it made for a peaceful trip home!

Hi Angie,
All these cute and smiling photos really make me want to fly away to the Happiest Place on Earth with Ronan! Noah looks like he did awesome! Um, and Tony's little tennis costume, was um, amusing. :)

By the way, you still look hot!
Love,
Anne
