Vacation part 1!

Well...sorry for the delay in posts...but we've been in CALI! That's right folks, we up and left the farm for 8 days and went on Vacation! We were so lucky that Todd's sister Melissa could come and be with the farm animals for the week because it's quite the job. You can read about her adventures for the week at: http://farmingisanadventure.blogspot.com.
Now...on to the first round of pictures! After sleeping virtually not at all, our plane left at 6:40 in the morning. Em was wired...I think Max slept the most out of all of us the little trooper!
Our plane arrived about 15 minutes before my moms did and so we waited for her at her gate. She was so surprised to see us waiting there for her! Her face expression was priceless!Em was super excited to see her Nana and ran to her! It was soooooooo nice to have a nanny on vacation with us...more about this later!
We had 4 HUGE suitcases, 2 carseats, a stroller and 2 carry ons...it was a feat of strength I tell you to travel!Isn't he just a doll??? He was so good on this trip and started a new thing...sleeping 12 hours a night without waking up once! Makes me a little uncomfortable in the morning but I'll take the sleep and be a little uncomfortable! He did great and I couldn't have been prouder of the little guy!
This is Em on the shuttle to get our rental. She had slept about 2 hours in 24 hours so she was pretty edgy...she fell asleep as soon as we got her in her car seat in the rental!
We paid for an intermediate SUV but when they told us to go and pick something out we realized that our luggage wouldn't fit in anything but this....and even then it was tight. This wasn't the most comfortable ride, but we were able to squeeze all our stuff and kids in!

Me and Todd and Max at breakfast. We were pretty tired, but happy to be there!
Me and my girl!
Since we couldn't check into our hotel until 3pm we decided to go see the sights...we went to Hollywood and toured the blvd where the stars handprints are. It was a traffic nightmare and it was a Saturday!
This is Em's face expression when we said..."Look there's Disneyland!!!!"

I'm so glad that things worked out that I could go and NANNY for you guys. Emma and Max and I really got to bond. (although Max was sleeping while I was in charge). It was so much fun being there to take some of the load off you guys so you could enjoy your vacation too! Thanks for letting me tag along. I love you guys!
