Tuesday Bethany had her 6 month check-up. She got 4 shots, one being her flu shot. The doctor also gave her a suppository to help her poop and it worked! She is still a great sleeper. From 4-6 months she slept through the night 54/61 days!!

Right after the appointment I got a phone call from McKenna's school saying she had fallen in the mud on the playground and was pretty wet. So I ran home and got her some new leggins. This is how muddy she was.
Mommy enjoyed post shot snuggles!
Wednesday I ran errands and packed for my Webster girls trip.
At the airport...just a little excited!
Sat by grandma on the plane.
In our sweet rental 12 passenger van.
Day 1- California Adventure!
The babies all ready to go, and later napping together. The first day they were pretty much on the same sleep and eat schedule.
The first ride of the day was the Mater ride. (The rest of these pictures won't be in order.)
Midway Mania was Bethany's first ride. She did great.
California Screamin'!, Goofy's Flight School, Radiator Springs Racers
Heimlich's Chew Chew Train, waiting outside Tower of Terror, and of course a Mickey ears ice cream bar!
Tower of Terror, and more Cars Land with an awesome sunset.
Chew Chew Train again, Monster's Inc. (we got talked to at the end of the ride by "Roz"), watching the Pixar Parade, and me as we're leaving the park the first night.
These girls were such a delight! And what's not to love about babies in Mini Mouse ears?!
Thursday back at home, Dan had some fun gaming with Sam while Ben and McKenna were at school.
Day 2- Disneyland!
We started out heading straight to Peter Pan! While we waited my saw Mary Poppins and Bert stroll by. We did tons of other rides in Fantasy Land: Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Snow White, Pinocchio, and Story Book Canal (they added the Kingdom of Arendelle from Frozen. It is AWESOME!!).
Then we had fast passes to Indiana Jones! An awesome ride except for the spider part. ;)
We saw Princess Tiana while we ate lunch in New Orleans. Then we rode the Haunted Mansion and I unfortunately started to get a really bad head ache. :(

We rode It's a Small World, and the Winnie the Pooh ride.
A few of us went to Toontown and met Mickey! We also saw the Mickey's Magical Map show.
Once it got dark we rode the Matterhorn. Our favorite ride of the trip by far was Hyper Space Mountain! We rode it 3 times! Unfortunately the last two times I rode it I was still fighting a pretty bad headache which Ibuprofen didn't touch. Thankfully, Laurie gave me some Excedrin and it was like a miracle drug for me! We had dinner, I facetimed with my family, then we saved spots for the fireworks show. While we waited, Bethany had her first crackers and loved them!
The fireworks show was amazing and I totally cried. Such a softy! Once that was done, we headed back over to CA Adventure to do the Cars ride one more time.
We went to Downtown Disney for some shopping and then headed back to the hotel. Phew! What an amazing two days at the parks! So much fun being kids and doing whatever we wanted! :)

I'm not sure that Bethany "loved" the crackers. In that one picture, it looks more like she is accusing the cracker of something :) But she was such a trooper going through Disney! Too bad she won't remember all of those awesome adventures yet :(
I can't believe B is only 12 pounds...but the most adorable 12 pounds EVER!!!! I mean really, could she get any cuter??? :) McKenna's muddy pants are so very unfortunate, glad mom was able to bring new ones to her. That trip looks AMAZING!!!!
I am always in awe of all the fun adventures and family time you have.
