We had a seriously fun Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving day at Disneyland with Aaron's family. I knew our kids would love it, but I didn't anticipate them being able to wake up at 5:30am to go,go,go all day until almost 11 at night and be total angels throughout it all. They were in utter heaven, and it made it really fun.
Seth's only outburst was when someone in the family sarcastically suggested Seth was too tired to go on any more rides. He had a 10 second meltdown until Aaron suggested "How about we go on as many rides as you want until you pass out, Seth?" He immediately jumped up and down saying "Good idea!" and gave Aaron a hug like he was a hero. That's just what we did. He finally fell asleep on the rocket ship ride with his grandpa at 10:30 (but woke up for one more roller coaster after that, and then he was out).
Ada's only complaints that day were when the rides would go through a dark area (which many of them do). She'd say "I wanna go home" every time it happened. Then she'd get off the ride and profess her love for it. The tea cups were her favorite. Seth loved all the fast roller coasters and is still convinced that the only explanation for Star Tours is that "that room must be magical".
We had a Thanksgiving feast at our apartment the next day. Our kitchen is pretty small and when you cook all the food in one day because you've been partying at Disneyland, it gets a little busy. We pulled it off just fine though.
My kids really know how to keep a feast from getting too classy. Seth sat at the Thanksgiving table shirtless and chewed on a turkey leg like a wild animal. Ada left during dinner to sit on the toilet and came back to the table shouting "my poo poos won't come out!" Thanks Ada. Pass the potatoes.
