Disney fun mixed with some tears

What an adventure we had. We got to DL about noon and headed over to the DL side first. We were surprised to see how crowded it was for a Monday in April especially since Spring break should be done for most kids. So we decided to just go on a few rides like the train of course, buzz light year, the cars, peter pan and the carousel. Then we headed over to DCA. We got some pizza for lunch and then found a seat for the parade.

Since the parade was the main event of this trip we made sure to get there in plenty of time and find the perfect seat. Dustin said that this is either going to be really great or really bad. Well he was right on both counts. The parade music started and Christian already had a worried look on his face.First the characters from Monster's Inc came out and he was OK until he saw the old lady monster and she started to come close to him. Poor kid was hiding in the back of the crowd crying his eyes out. So sad, but so funny! As the parade went on he calmed down a bit then would get scared again. It was all worth it though when he saw Buzz. He was so excited and I had to laugh about how he kept yelling "Buzz, Buzz, mama Buzz, Buzz." So cute!

We stayed the night out there and then this morning Dustin surprised me by telling me that we were going to Sonic for breakfat. That made my day! I love that place and since it's so far away we don't get to go very often. Dustin loves it because he say's that there is no other place that you can order the whole menu and only pay about $20.

All in all it was a trip well worth the effort!! Maybe next time he will enjoy the parade. Funny thing is right after the parade he was very excited to go on the Monster's ride. Kids are so funny!He wanted this lollie so bad, but I think it wasn't as fun to eat as he thought
