Our Trip to Disneyland

We decided a while ago that for Keegan's 5th birthday we would go to Disneyland. I think, we were way more excited than he was, especially since when we asked him if he wanted to go he said "what's Disneyland?"
By the time the day came to leave he was excited. I had showed him everything I could on-line about Disneyland and told him how he would get to meet all the characters.
So here's my cute little man in his mouse hat.

Ok, we'll have to back up a day though. The day we got to Cali we didn't run straight over to Disney. We decided since part of the day would already be gone we would wait till the next day to start our adventure in the happiest place on earth. So...we went to the beach for a little bit, went to Medieval Times and Keegan spent some time leaping from one bed to another.

When we finally got to Disneyland we let Keegan take the lead. He decided on The Matterhorn for his first ride in the park. I was a little worried since the biggest ride he's ever been on is the Elmo's Flying Fish ride at Sea World and it's kind of like the Dumbo ride. But he got in his bobsled ready to see the Abominable Snowman, he rode with Josh and I was constantly listening for any sign that he was unhappy but as we got off the ride I heard "I wanna do that again!"
We also did Small World, the Tiki Room, Tarzan's Tree house and of course stayed for the fireworks.

Keegan was lucky enough to meet ALMOST all of the characters. If you ask him he will let you know that we didn't get to see Daisy Duck.

Here he is with the Big Mouse Himself. We headed over to California Adventure as well where we went to the Bugs Life Theater and Land. We also got to see Lightening McQueen and Mater

He loved the rapids ride, I think the part he loved the best was where I got soaked and also listening to "Pa'' freak out about the ride. It was kind of funny.

We had a great time in Disneyland. He was also brave enough to go on The Tower of Terror, and while he didn't scream, cry, or pee his pants he let us know that he didn't need to do that one again. In the end his favorite ride ended up being Thunder Mtn RR with The Matterhorn following as a close 2nd.

*Keegan* Funnies

"Mom, do you know how I see things? There are little guys in my head taking pictures of what I'm looking at and then they send them to my brain"

Early this morning Keegan came running out of his room with a shoe in his had and yelled "MOM there's a bug in my pants!!" I asked "there's a bug in your pants?" He responded, "not these pants, the ones on my floor, I saw it, and thought it was a running arrow, but it's a bug"

Uncle Jon works at the Costco that George Bush was doing a book signing at. Keegan was talking to Jon on the phone and I told Keegan to ask Jon if he saw President Bush. Keegan quickly ask "Jon, did you see a president in a bush?"

He's been saying this for a while now but it still makes me laugh. If you say to him "You don't say" he ALWAYS responds with "OH, I'll say alright!"

Today Keegan told me "Watch out mommy, I'm coming in hot" he then jumped from the coffee table to the couch. When I asked him if he even knew what that meant and he told me "it means I'm going really fast and it will be hard to stop"

When I was unsure of the pool temp he didn't hesitate and jumped in. When he saw that I was still standing on the side he said "jump in mommy, it's refreshing"

Keegan and his best bud had a bit of a disagreement and Keegs ended up with a 1 inch gash in his head. (He's fine) But when I asked him if he was mad at Evan he replied "No, but he sure was mad at me!"

Not a "funny" but just a note, while we were in Mexico Keegan learned to say his "K" and "C's". So he no longer calls himself "Teenan" and Koda is no longer "Toda" It was such a shock to hear him ask us how was "MexiCO" not "MexiTo"

I have resorted to washing Keegans mouth out with a tiny bit of soap when he argues. Afterwards I was talking to him explaining that arguing isn't good and that the soap tastes yucky right?? He looked at me and said "Well, it doesn't taste GOOD"!!

The other day Keegan fell out of my mom's really tall truck. When he was asked if he got hurt on the truck he said, "No, it was the ground that hurt me"!

**Warning, not really funny, but still so funny at the time, maybe shocking is the right word**

Keegan dropped the "F" bomb today, totally random and so unlike him that I didn't believe he actually said what I thought he did. I actually made him say it again to see if heard him right. So despite me and Josh laughing we had to tell him it wasn't funny and that if he ever said it again he would go to time out for a long long time.

He got a watch for Christmas, if you ask him what time it is he often says "here, you look at it" It is a digital watch and will read the #'s individually if there is a 3 anywhere in the time he thinks they are E's So the other day it was 4 "E"7

Josh was helping him put on the ONLY pair of pants that actually fit and don't fall down. Keegan doesn't unsnap the snap and was struggling to get them over his keester so he said "my butt is too big" If you have actually seen Keegan you know that is NOT the case.

He often asks me how fast different animals can run, he usually wants me to tell him if it is faster or slower than Koda.

I told Keegan his drawers were falling down, he turned to me and said "What???? my drawers???" he then immediately ran upstairs and pushed in his dresser drawers.

Keegan asked if Grandpa Dan was up in heaven? I told him yes. He asked if he was up in the stars and clouds? I said yes. He then asked, when he is done in his rocket can he come back down?

Keegan got to meet Elmo at Sea World, he ran up and gave him a huge hug. Afterward he told me that "I gave Elmo a hug and didn't even poke him in the eye"

When his finger nails get to long he tells me he has "girl nails"

While on vacation, he asked if we were going to the beach that day, I told him "No we are going to Sea World today" he started to cry and then told me he didn't wan't to go to Sea World that he wanted to go to Wal-Mart.

While out one day a little girl called to her mommy and Keegan turned to me and said "Mommy she said your name"

I had asked Keegan for another kiss this morning and he replied "Nope, only one kiss today."

"Mom, there is something in my flip-flop!!" I ask, what is it? Get it out. He replies "my foot"

"Pa" is going pee, but he doesn't need my step stool betause he is very tall."
