Cassidy and Truman Come to Visit!!!

We were excited to have Cassidy and Truman come to visit for five weeks while James was in Rhode Island at Officer Development Training for the Navy. We don't get to see them very often, so it was fun to see how Truman has grown. It was amazing how much he changed just in the five weeks he was with us! He loved Bampa's football hat.

And he loved a ride in Bampa's wheel barrow.

Cass and Tru got here around June 8th or so, and we wanted to have a hot dog roast before it got way hotter, so we cooked hot dogs and s'mores in the back yard. Tru loved them and ate at least three. Unfortunately, he got really sick during the night, and it was not pretty. We were hoping it was just too many hotdogs and not a flu bug because..............

We had planned a super fun trip to the happiest place on earth!

Lexi came down for the weekend, and we headed out. Sadly, right before we left Cass started feeling sick and we realized that Tru actually did have a flu bug............but what could we do but carry on? Poor Cass felt awful all the way to California. Fortunately the only other person to get it was me, and I had a much milder case of it. But the Keels would never let a little thing like the stomach flu ruin a trip to Dis! It was so fun to take Tru for his first time. He loved everything! (except Pirates of the Carribbean, which he hated.)

All but me squished into a tea cup.

Truman loved riding on Bampa's shoulders!

No doubt the highlight of the trip for Tru was meeting Mickey Mouse! He was in awe, as you can see.

Not to be out done, Lexi was pretty excited too!

After awhile, Tru wasn't quite so shy around the characters. He just ran right up and gave Pluto a big hug.

We lucked out and found a short line for Dumbo, so the kids hopped on it. Every kid has got to ride on Dumbo!

Truman in his new Mickey shirt with his "Mickey Buddy". We have a tradition of making Muddy Buddies when we go to Disneyland, and we call them Mickey Buddies instead. But since Cass was sick all the way there, then I was sick, we really couldn't enjoy our Mickey Buddies much, so we were pretty excited to eat them on the way home. Unfortunately when we opened the back of the car while loading stuff up, the Mickey Buddies fell out, the lid popped off, and they spilled all over the parking lot. We were so sad :(  But the cute thing is, Tru heard us talking about "Mickey Buddies" so much that he called his stuffed Mickey toy his Mickey Buddy. So cute!

Well, bloggerland has decided that I can't download anymore pictures, so I guess this is the end of my Disney post! Can I just say, sometimes I hate blogging! Especially when things don't work right.

But as you can see, we had a great time. I'm so glad we got to go. In spite of sickness and spilled treats, and it being summer and crowded, we managed to have such a wonderful time together. We're already wondering when we can go back!
