Are you ready kids . . . then on with the show!

Riley has been working the night shift again, he leaves for work at 8:30 pm and is there until 7-8 am. Which makes for long nights for both of us. On Wednesday, Riley had to work the day shift. So he worked Tues night got off at 7 am, slept until 11 am then went back to work. He was there until 8 pm and came home, we put the kids to bed and he went to bed. Then his work phone rings at 2 am and he heads back into work. He got home at 7 am and was suppose to be back there for a meeting at 1 pm. So, he basically never left work. He told me when he came home Wednesday that he needed a vacation. So, I planned one! We called my uncle who works for Delta, and used buddy passes and flew to Disneyland! We left Saturday morning and came back Wednesday afternoon. We had such a great time! It was a well deserved vacation! It rained Saturday and Sunday, but not hard enough to keep us away from the mouse! Mon, Tues, and Wed, it was beautiful!
Riley has a camera at work, and I begged him to bring it home so we could have pics of the fun, so here they are!!! There are a lot of pics because they are all so cute, I couldn't decide which ones to leave out!

Stopping to smell the flowers, or pick them one or the other!
Chelsey is a big help to Keegan!

As you can see we had a really good time, despite the fact that Keegan spent the first 2 days throwing up all over everything and having diarrhea. We were grateful the people at the hotel were so nice, I think that we asked for more clean sheets, pillows, blankets, towels and toilet paper than any one had ever before. And we had to keep having house keeping come and clean up throw up! We thought that they were going to charge us an extra housekeeping and laundry fee, but they didn't! Then Kaylix kind of got it too, I think that is why he slept soooo much! He missed out on all the fun his first time at Disneyland. Tyler and Jen were there with us on Saturday. Ty works for Skywest, so they flew out, spent the day and the night, got up at 4 am to go and catch a 6am flight back home! Chelsey was so excited that Jen was there with her, she sure loves her a lot! We had 8 people in a small hotel room that really is only meant for 4! It was a blast. We had a great time and were sad to come back home to responsibilities and reality!
