Talk to me!
I'm sorry the day was a bit of a failure. But that is a great photo. Small recompense I know.
Dan- thanks. I just wish the flash wasn't reflected, oh, and that the kids weren't hurt.
Oh man. Talk about the day from Hell.
On the plus side, whenever I hear about a drive with a mother in law, I think NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION. Glad that road trip had a happier (if less humorous) ending.
"straight on til morning"
I'm watching you, Honea. You think you're so clever with the subtle Pan references, but I'm onto you.
This post was clearly about two of the Lost Boys, without their mommies, in Never Never Land.
Wow, a story can be cute AND horrifying at the same time!
Will your kids now be Disneyphobic?
"No, not the bad place, Daddy, let's go to Knott's instead!"
guess it's not the happiest place after all....
i've told you the Mouse was evil...
Jay- Luckily we remembered the dog after a few miles.
Backpacking Dad- You got that? It was about the one dressed as the skunk and the kid they call Tubby.
Phil- They were back at it and better than ever the next day.
Apathetic Bliss- It has its moments.
Greg- In all fairness they were pushed by Donald.
And here I was complaining about my week - do did it all in one day!
Poor guys, awfully cute - bandages and all!
That picture is a riot! We'll be able to use it as a lesson for Lukas when we go to Disneyland - no having fun or you will end up like these boys.
Good to turn him off of Disney early - otherwise it will cost us thousands in merchandise in the long run.
Thanks boys!
Sam- I like to consolidate.
James- Unfortunately, my wife and I have the bug, so our kids didn't stand a chance.
Fuck, if that's what "the happiest place on earth" gives you for second place, I'd hate to see what #106,092 got.
And stroller hacking? Seriously? I've never heard of that before in my life!
SciFi Dad- We couldn't believe it. It happened in the middle of all the other craziness, but we still looked around for it. I was kind of excited as I've never stabbed someone with a stroller part before and was looking forward to it. It would have been easier to deal with if they'd taken the whole thing.
106,092 got hangnails and wedgies for the whole family (limit 4).
So they stripped the stroller? That is completely bizarre.
Sorry the whole thing was a bust. Made for a good story though...
Inconceiveable. A bad trip to Disney.
That picture tells me a lot! Namely that I don't think Zane is quite over the haircut yet.
Man, you will do ANYTHING to get out of driving to Pasadena, won't you?
Awww! Atticus looks so sad. Is it Zane's right wrist, it looks kind of puffy.
I'm sorry it was such a crazy trip, but I'm glad my precious nephews are okay.
Whit-
All I can say is "Awe Sh$t!"
Hopefully the rest of the weekend is better.
BTW: Shoot the nurse! 
Nat- I'm still baffled by it.
Ed- Hey, it's growing back.
RTK- Hey, Atticus and I were very upset about not going.
tt- yeah, it's his right wrist, they said it was fine. We'll see.
Jeff- they were happy and loving it the next day, kids bounce.
what the flying hell is wrong with people?
flutter- where do I start?
I am so disturbed by your experiences . . . first that people actually STEAL parts off strollers (that is wrong in so many ways), and second that you missed Jack Johnson (that is also wrong in so many ways).
Glad those boys are safe and sound though . . . just think, someday they'll be as old as mine and one of them (cough, cough) will take his little brother on a 4-WHEELER when mom has her back turned.
Good times await my friend, and hopefully those don't include bandages and ER trips!
Dude, the lengths you will go to to win the 'worst holiday on earth'
Did you tell those poor kids that Mickey was coming to finish them off with the stolen stroller parts?
Carrie- Well, as the old sexist saying goes, 'boys will be boys' and all that. At least they were thoughtful enough to get it all out of the way at one time.
Kelley- Mickey wouldn't do that. He needs the parts for the chop shop they're running under Small World.
That picture is so pitiful. Bandaged and babyless. 
Originally, the place was called the Happiest and Most Dangerous Place on Earth. Historians have not been able to determine why the second descriptor was dropped.
ImPerceptible- Don't let them fool you, they were up and at it the next morning.
Papa Bradstein- I think it was just too wordy.
When I first started reading this I was extremely jealous of yet another Disneyland adventures...and Jack Johnson. But it sounds like it was a horrific weekend. I hope the wounds are healing.
Sombody jacked your Stroller. WTF? There's a special place reserved in Hell for folk like that. We took the Goat to the "Happiest Place on Earth" for Christmas a few years back....Dante should have included Mouse Land in one of His rings of Hell. There should be a 24 hour Bar on each floor of any Hotel. It should be a Code of some sort.
Sorry about your Boy. Tell him, "chicks dig scars".
We're planning on taking the kids to the happiest hell on earth ourselves this winter. I'm dreading it.
Glad the boys survived the trip.
But your stroller jacking...that is nothing. A couple of summers ago, my hubs and I took the kids to the local zoo. Bug's wheelchair hadn't arrived yet so we depended on our stroller to cart the little rat around since he couldn't walk and wasn't the easiest bag of potatoes to tot about.
We decided to take the kids on the zoo's train ride but they wouldn't let us take the stroller on the train. The staff said it would be safe parked in the corner and would be there when we got back.
Well the stroller was there when we got back five minutes later.
However someone had stolen ALL FOUR WHEELS.
Oh happy day. A pox on the head of who ever stole the wheels out from underneath a crippled kid.
It was a GREAT zoo trip. Not.
You stood up Jack Johnson! Way to get back at him for not returning you calls.
I am sure the party wasn't the same without you.
The kids look like hockey players... that's a good thing.
VegasDad- The boys didn't skip a beat. I skipped a few.
CIII- I'm just glad there are bars at all. Drink early, sleep soundly, that's my motto.
Redneck Mommy- that's insane. Apparently stroller chopping is all the rage.
David R- I'm going to tell his PR person what happened and see if she does the right thing and reschedules. They have too many teeth for hockey!
Booooo Hissss at the asshat that stole parts off a stroller.
So sorry for the injuries, but the boys look so cute.
This was just one bad trip out of thousands of good ones. Me and Mr. Apple are trying to figure out how we're gonna get to Orlando. I'm going into withdrawal.....uh I mean the kids are going into withdrawal.
Poor little guys - what a day!
Holy crizzap, dude! What a flustercuck. I love that picture though, your eldest looks like an extra on M.A.S.H.
SHA- It's okay to feel the withdrawal. I get it myself!
Pam- It was one for the books.
Holmes- You should have seen the way he was checking out Hot Lips.
Yikes. That is the kind of day that you don't write about. It's the kind you forget about, which is impossible for a writer. I hope the next outing will be better and that your boys (especially Atticus) heal fast and happily.
Poor Zane! He looks shell-shocked. And poor you two. You look forward to those adult nights out so much and then everything goes awry.
Keith- Atticus got his staples out today and we're already planning our next Disneyland trip.
the weirdgirl- at least I got to spend a lot of money! It's like going out.
What a crazy day! With my luck, this would surely happen to my kids if we took such an adventure. Great picture of the victims!
Raging Dad- Bumps and bruises are par for the course, but it would be nicer if they could get them someplace cheaper.
