Disney Day 1

After an incredibly fun (and not at all restful) week-long jaunt as Disneyland, we are back. And while it was a little sad to return from a world of Not Making Meals and Getting Your Bed Made Everyday, we are feeling okay about it since it also means that we simultaneously left the world of Walking Around For 12 Hours A Day. There's always a trade-off, I suppose.

Craig and I spent the first 3 days alone (Alone? What does that mean?) at Disneyland while the kidlings stayed at my sister's house and woke her up early and messed up her house. (Proof that they don't change their M.O. when they are out of state or away from their parents.) I do not exaggerate when I say that those 3 days were Pretty Darn Blissful. It was good for Craig and I to remember that we do have it in us to be fun and spontaneous, and to experience just how carefree Life Without Kids can be. (It was a little reminiscent of our honeymoon Disneyland trip, only this time we appreciated the not-having-kids part.)

First Stop: Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters. Try as I may, 

Craig always scores higher than I do on this one.

Thank goodness I am capable of 

losing and yet still having a good time.

Yes, Craig is a veritable Space Scout...

...and even though I look like a pro,

I always hover in the Planetary Pilot range. 

(At least I think that's what that says...

my awesome trigger fingers are covering the word.)

Good times fraternizing with the natives on Indy,

(which we happily rode twice on the first day)

Jungle Cruising (which somehow we 

failed to do when we had the girls...oops!)

and Tea Cupping. 

(Craig spun the tea cup so fast that 

I couldn't watch the awesome parade that was going 

by at the time. I wasn't too sad because I figured 

we'd stop and watch the parade when we had the girls. 

We didn't. Oops again.)
