Disneyland at Home (The Happiest Place on Earth?)

PB and Bubba both have influenza. Bubba has Croup on top of that and has had a difficult time breathing (especially during the night). I am sad but relieved that we did not go on our vacation. Disneyland would have been a real challenge had we gotten on that plane.

Canceling the trip did not stop the fun! We started our weekend with the kids packing their own bag for our pretend trip to Disneyland. They packed all the essentials - Polly pockets, reading books, combs, swimsuits, Leapsters and their own Build-A-Bear.
They then boarded their own personal airplane, piloted by PB and took a flight to California. They flew over Lake Powell, Las Vegas and the ocean. The flight was complete with the Flight Attendant (me) serving a snack, drink and showing a movie.
When we landed they took their luggage and unpacked at the hotel. Before going to bed they rode the Disneyland rides, which meant PB threw, twisted and bounced each girl around the basement. The girls then went back to the hotel and were tucked in for the night.
The next morning they ordered Room Service for breakfast (ramen, oatmeal and a turkey sandwich) and headed for the swimming pool (our over sized jetted tub). Later they made a huge fort around the ping pong table and played the Wii.

Our oldest even commented that this weekend was more fun than Disneyland would have been!

That stinks! But way to go on the fun weekend anyway! You are awesome parents!!!

Who needs Mickey Mouse and rides when you have a mom and dad who are willing to "be the rides" and have fun with you!

Get well soon!
