magical.

this weekend we went to the most magical place on earth. newport beach. and disneyland. it was fabulous. 

my brother and i drove down to newport on thursday for my cute cousin's wedding. isn't she gorgeous? 

 the event brought out most of the clason family. it was so fun to see our family. 

unfortuantely, zak was very very tired and refused to take any happy pictures with me. but that's ok. he's still cute when he's grouchy. 

 they had a luncheon on the beach as well. isn't it gorgeous? if i had lots of money, i'd move there. 

 the next day we went to disneyland. i can't even tell you how excited i was. it was awesome. minus my feet still being swollen from walking around so much, it was a quite successful trip. 

we went to breakfast with the characters and zak absolutely loved it. not only does he love every disney character on mickey mouse, but he was very very excited to see them and take pictures with them, which was basically the whole reason i wanted to go. 

yeah for pregnant pictures. 

his favorite's were minnie and chip by far. 

 he stalked minnie for ages while we were getting breakfast for him. he thought she was super cute. 

i love these with chip. they look like they have a private joke going on. 

he has no idea who eeyore is so he wasn't super stoked for him. besides eeyore is kind of depressing anyways. 

the men. trying to maintain their manhood in front of the castle. 

the first thing he wanted to do was ride the carousel. that's what you come to disney for right? 

and then drive mr. toad's car. which we didn't go on because the line was horrendously long. 

 we didn't actually ride the tea cups. 1. because i hate them and 2. because the line for them was also ridiculously long. we took this picture after the little man waiting in line to ride dumbo and found it completely unsatisfying. obviously he was thrilled. it makes me laugh every time i look at it. 

pluto decided to be a little gangsta for our picture. zak also loved him a lot. lots of hugs and kisses. 

toontown was by far the most awesome place for him. he thought it was the coolest thing he's ever been to. especially this phone. 

 oh and the firetruck. 

after the beast and i came back to the hotel and took a nap, we were refreshed and ready to go tackle california adventure. we went to dinner, played in a bug's life area, watched josh and dad go on the big roller coaster and rode on ariel's underwater ride. but even 3 hours later, he was exhausted and he went back to the hotel with josh and grandpa to let mom and dad party. 

meaning we went on pirates, because that's one of the only cool rides you can ride while pregnant, watched the fireworks & fantasmic and went home. we're cool like that. i don't know how people do a whole day/week there, because it's so exhausting. 

but it was an excellent vacation. zak and i are going to need a week to recover from this wild ride of a weekend. good thing we have absolutely nothing going on ever now. for reals though, no vacations, no nothing planned. i don't know what we're going to do. who wants to come entertain us?
