It’s no secret that since we moved to Houston, my kids have been consistently SICK. So it came as quite the shock (insert sarcastic tone), that as soon as we got settled into the Hilton in Anaheim, we felt right at home, fevers and all.
We had traveled with the team for the trip, so Gus had to work a lot during the stay. Let’s just say, it was a rough trip for Momma having to be quarantined to the hotel room for almost 3 days with sick kiddos, but mostly, it was a torturous trip for poor Bo. He was so sick and literally right around the corner from the BEST PLACE ON EARTH.
We passed the sick days watching weird cartoons on cable, (which included a Star Wars Lego cartoon that is HILARIOUS),occasionally wandering the halls in the stroller trying to get some “fresh” air, and jumping on the beds and giggling when fevers broke.
Finally, Bo seemed back to himself after spending most of the Thanksgiving Holiday in the Hilton, so we ventured out to Downtown Disney. This was definitely the BEST time he would have all week.
Bo was feeling great; he built and raced a lego car while Ace ate some.
We assumed the next day, Disneyland day, Bo would be completely better. Not true. So, below are several pictures of us faking like we are having the best time ever.
But, apparently, Bo and Ace didn’t get the “fake smiles” memo.
It wasn’t all a bust. We actually did have fun and Bo and Ace gave us plenty of real laughs as well!
The high of the day was definitely romping around Tom Sawyer island with Uncle Mike, Auntie Molls, and Grandpa Frank! It was so nice of them to come!!!
The low of the trip was when we truly realized he was still sick; he started crying furiously when we got on Pirates of the Caribbean. This ride is all he could talk about for WEEKS, and when we went this summer he LOVED it. I’m not so sure he enjoyed it this time around:
I think adrenaline and pure excitement of being at Disneyland helped him not feel sick initially, but after a few hours he was EXHAUSTED and we headed back to Home Sweet Hilton.
Exhausted, yet never losing an iron-grip on that new sword, of course.
