We’re in St. George, Utah tonight. As always, we’re several hours behind schedule. This time it’s because, I stopped to shop at outlet malls NOT tire troubles. The kids seemed to enjoy a lazy day on the road. They spent most all of the time watching movies and playing DS.

I took this photo of Lizzy about an hour ago. She was watching the Parent Trap (so was Sam). It struck me how different travel is now. For starters everyone is buckled into a comfy seat. Separate sound systems allow movies for the kids and music for Mr. MK and I. The only music we had as kids was our own singing and the only time we were buckled up was after a game of ‘punch-buggy’ got out of hand and ended up in a fist fight, then we’d be buckled in our own side of the backseat to keep us apart … NOT safe. Ah, the good ole days.

Did you take many family road trips as a kid?

I’ll be doing my NaBloPoMo thingy all during the holiday. I’ll also be twittering the road trip away –> follow me on twitter @ http://twitter.com/mommyknows.

We spent Wednesday at Universal Studios and Thursday at Legoland. Georgia did quite well at both, she even squealed with delight at Universal, when one of the dogs in the Animal show was an ‘animal actor’ from Beverly Hills Chihuahua (remember she only loves small dogs). After a two day break, we thought we’d give her one more try at getting excited about Disneyland …

Conversation earlier today –>

Me: Georgia, do you like Disneyland?
Georgia: Yes, when I am at home, I like it.
I guess she just wants to ‘like it’ from afar –> She’s just not that into you Mickey.

Nearly as popular as Disneyland, is the hotel pool. I promised the kids, that no matter what they’d swim everyday. I’ve found myself poolside the last few nights, in the dark, shivering; while Sam and Lizzy dive for quarters.

Again taken with my iPhone –> I am taking ‘real’ photos but I am just too tired to upload/edit etc. With my iPhone I can just email them to flickr and they’re ready to blog.

This is our hotel …

Taken with my iPhone.

Just kidding! We’re at a nice suite hotel with complimentary breakfast and supper –> Bonus! However, travelling with Georgia to theme park after theme park is sort of like the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror –> a series of terrifying and unexplicable ups and downs, that send you realing into the dark recesses of parenting toddlers. If anyone ever hears me utter Disney and Georgia in the same sentence again, HIT ME hard.

I had several emails and a couple of comments asking about Sammy and Georgia’s Halloween costumes. I know, I know, Halloween is old news. That’s what I am all about, OLD NEWS, just don’t tell anybody.

Sam is NUTS, CRAZY, STARK RAVING MAD, about Pokemon. He choose to be Ash Ketchum –> Pokemon trainer. I didn’t argue, it was EASY. Just a little bit of felt and a few articles of clothing he already had and –> wahlah –>Ash was created. We bought the Poke-ball in late Sept., each and everyday until Halloween he asked if he could play with it. I said, “NO”. Good thing too, by 6 pm on Halloween, it was MIA.

Georgia wasn’t home for Halloween. She was on the farm with Grandma and Poppa. My mom bought her a ‘pink poodle’ costume, because she loves small dogs (not rabbits –> contest still open). As it turned out the costume didn’t quite fit her the way she wanted, so she opted out of dressing up and trick-or-treating. Apparently, she likes small dogs, NOT small dog costumes. She was the candy hander-outer to the 6 kids and one dad that came to the door. She’s still talking about the beautiful princess and her scary dad. She apparently had the time of her life. I can’t decide if she is hard to please, or easy to please?!
