Cole telling me that his brain hurts. I think it was most likely because he was so tired from running around Disneyland all day.
Jake getting picked to be a Jedi padawan. A Jedi Master in training. I asked him if he wanted to stay and watch the Star Wars show instead of going on Space Mountain and he told me, "I have always wanted to become a Jedi Master and learn to use the Force. I think we should stay."
Jake got picked, Cole did not. Which broke my heart. In fact, I almost cried. It was so not fair.
They are both still talking about it today. Jake has told everyone he knows that he got to fight Darth Maul and saw the REAL Darth Vader. Cole keeps saying he did not like it because he did not get picked. But, when we go back, we are making sure that kid gets to go up on stage. (seriously the cutest show I have ever seen)
Watching the looks of amazement on Cole and Crew during the Playhouse Disney show.
Seeing Crew's reaction as he met Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. He was obsessed.
Crew screaming when he saw Mr. Incredible. For some reason, he was completely terrified of him and started sobbing when we saw him walking down the street.
The day after our last day at Disneyland, Cole woke up and the first thing he asked me was if we could go back to Disneyland and check and see if he had grown enough overnight to go on California Screamin' yet.
Playing 'monkey in the middle' and 'can't catch me' with the waves at the beach.
Crew getting taken out by the largest wave of all time, and then Aunt Jackie jumping in the ocean to save him. (Thank you Aunt Jackie!!)
Jake catching his first sand crab and asking if we can take him home and keep him as a pet. (Obviously he has not gotten the memo that no pets are allowed at our house! I know. I know. We are mean.)
Losing Crew at the Santa Monica Pier for a total of three minutes which felt like three days and me at the edge of total panic. Not a good feeling.
Watching my two boys be the best of friends and have the time of their lives trying to surf in the freezing cold water.
And this little girl. I think I want one. She makes my heart melt.
