So here are the promised pictures from our terrible vacation. Alright, not all of it sucked, so I took pictures during only those times that didn't suck. So here's what I got. If you wanna know about the actual vaca, wanna read up about it (and you got an hour or so to waste) then the last entry has a written description of the whole month we were gone.

Let's start and the end and work backwards!....or forwards, depending on how you look at it.... hehe:

DISNEYLAND (aka gwen's Hell)

My cute crazies on a carousel on the last day of Dland

Tosh loves Cars...oh I see a lil devil in there too. Man, she never goes away...

Goofy was actually pretty Goofy! One of my favorite pictures:

All of us and her too

Teagan was actually pretty stoked to see the Goofster! Look at that face

We went into the Mickey Mouse house and waited in line to see him....

LEGOLAND!!!! YAY!!!!

These pirates were eating tasty looking food, pretty yummy for legos anyway

I want that cupcake! and while you're at it, that crown wouldn't be too bad either....

I only took about a thousand pictures of Legoland but here are my favs

Teagan's signature point and coo: Guys! Look at that city! I wanna eat it!!
 photo IMG_0835.jpg

 photo IMG_0825.jpg

The city from the top of the hill, when you first see it. You can't quite believe your eyes at first (going backwards, remember?)
 photo IMG_0821.jpg

Bring It On STAR WARS!!!!!

 photo IMG_0808.jpg

 photo IMG_0805.jpg

Characters

My kids insisted on holding every single Lego statues hand....as if it were gonna hold their hand back
 photo IMG_0781.jpg

 photo IMG_0779.jpg

Upon seeing this statue, the kids screamed "TEAGAN!" I had to explain to my husband, whenever the kids watch a show they like, they attach a character to each person in our family. This apparently was Teagans character. Very wise choice kiddos. If you only knew how wise....
 photo IMG_0778.jpg

This was probably Mommy's character in the show, but they were smart enough NOT to yell that out upon seeing the statue. ;)
 photo IMG_0775.jpg

Samya's character is always the pretty girl
 photo IMG_0774.jpg

Toshy's character
 photo IMG_0772.jpg

Sophie's character??
 photo IMG_0771.jpg

Daddy, of course (the sarcastically humorous one)
 photo IMG_0769.jpg

Sophie again?
 photo IMG_0765.jpg

is there a character for the House Alarm??
 photo IMG_0764.jpg

and lastly, our cat's character (how appropriate. again.)
 photo IMG_0763.jpg

 photo IMG_0745.jpg

What's Teagy pointing at? (he only points when he's excited ya see)
 photo IMG_0751.jpg

A bunny of course! (he likes anything furry, even if it's Lego fur)
 photo IMG_0748.jpg

Sadly the only princess Samya was able to get a photo with on this whole vacation:
 photo IMG_0742.jpg

What is Tosh doing? You tell me. What is Tosh ever doing? no one knows...

This little boy was crackin me up. While his hero big brother was riding the horses, he HAD to watch so he stuck his head through the fence... and was cute

Are you ready for this? My all-time FAVORITE show EVER:

 photo 20140720_225958.jpg

Here's the stage. Round, with water surrounding it, and the theater seats behind it in a 360 though you can't see them here
 photo 20140720_215027.jpg

 photo 20140720_225601.jpg

The flowers come to bloom at the end of the show

 photo 20140720_224111.jpg

So these two artists are awesome...starting out with lots of cool stuff, even while completely wet, and then they get one on the shoulders of the other....
 photo 20140720_223227.jpg

and then both 'walk' forward, so it looks like it's one human with legs on top and bottom! too cool! one of my favorite parts

 photo IMG_0658.jpg

My kids were all too thrilled by this giant squirrel
 photo IMG_0657.jpg

 photo IMG_0645.jpg

While we waited for the line up the hill where the previous pictures were taken, I took the opportunity to take pics of the kids with their new tyedyed clothes on (that they made at the YMCA camp family reunion earlier)

 photo IMG_0604.jpg

Here are two cousins, one month apart in age, one scared of everyone but mom, and the other...well he's just happy if he's not on a ride. Other wise...
 photo 20140711_131806.jpg

he has no expression on his face, or a blank one....
 photo 20140711_131221.jpg

nothing....
 photo 20140711_120324.jpg

not even flying on a dragon with his brother....
 photo 20140711_115616.jpg

 photo 20140711_115604.jpg

not even an expression while watching the fireworks on the Fourth of July, right before we left on vaca. Good thing he only puts on a show of no emotions when...well, who knows when why he does it sometimes and not others, but at least he's got his signature point down to show us when he's happy! and there's always that smile! Somewhere.....

All the other pictures I have were the pics I added in my last pics entry - all from before vaca. So that ends the vacation 2014 picture album. Hope you enjoyed my little best thing I ever did cuties. And my narration. And if you didn't enjoy my narration, why did you read it then? and why are you still reading now? lol

Till next time y'alls -me
