The case of the missing camera

Since I had work off last night, we decided to go hang out at the mall. It was a lot of fun. I feel like I never get to just play with my family anymore. I havn't seen my friends in so long, and lets just forget about doing fun things with Lauren and Evan. So even a trip to the mall becomes an adventure for me.

I really think that they are growing up right before my eyes. They get bigger and more mature every day. When we were ate the mall, be grabbed some Chick-fil-a to eat and let the kids play on the merry-go-round.



I love how at this age, a dollar can bring so much joy. While we were at Bath and Body Works rubbing on about a million different kinds of lotion, Lauren reached under the seat cover of our double stroller and pulled out none other then my missing point and shoot cannon camera that I thought I lost in Disneyland 6 months ago!! Can you believe it! It was like Christmas. I wasn't so sad at the time about loosing the camera since it was really starting to not work very well anyway..it was all of those cute Disneyland moments lost forever that I was so sad about. But now, I have all of those moments back!! Yeah for me. So..6 months later..I am doing an other post on our Disneyland Adventure! I am so excited!!! I hope you are ready for a Triplett family picture overload, because here it comes.

Lauren was so excited to go to Disneyland. We told the ride operator at the Peter Pan ride that this was Lauren's first ever ride on her first trip to Disneyland, so she gave her a pin that says "1st Visit". Lauren slept with it on that night. She didn't want to take it off.




There are to many cute pictures to choose from, so I will just have to pick some and explain the story behind them. I want to put up a little video of Lauren's first time on The Star Tours ride. I wanted to record her reactions because I remember thinking that Star Tours and The Pirates of the Caribbean were real. All you can see is black, but her voice and her words are just to cute not to share.
I also have an other video of her on Star Tours where she yelled "I am going to be the Princess of Mars!!" I am not sure where she gets these things, but I do know that she is so stinkin' cute. She had so much fun in Disneyland. She was on a high energy adrenaline rush the whole time we were there. After spending all day going on various rides, we ate dinner at the Tomorrow Land Terrace. While we were eating, they had a band singing and dancing. Lauren loved them. She danced right along with them. We watched the sun go down to Lauren dancing to the music of the band.




But all good things must come to an end. It was time to go back to the hotel that night. Lauren was heart broken and Evan was zonked out.


But we came back and had some more fun the next day.





We went over to California Adventure and spent the day over there. This is turning into quit the blog post, so I will end with just one more funny thing that happened while we were over there. We ate at some hamburger place there and Evan was thirsty..and well..it was gross.

In case you didn't get to see the delicious, custom made drink Evan was gulping down...here is a still shot of it. Yummy. Don't you wish you could have some?

It was a lot of fun. I am so glad that I got to take my kids to a place that held so much magic for me as a kid. And I am doubly happy that Lauren found the camera!! I want to go back there soon. I would love to go before Evan turns 3 since children under 3 are free. We'll see...cross your fingers. But until then, I could always relive the trip by looking at my long lost pictures.
