We figured the day after Memorial Day wouldn't be too crowded a day to visit Disneyland and thank goodness our guess turned out right! We hadn't been to Disneyland since Ms. P's first birthday party back in December, so we were itching to make a visit. When my brother, his wife and two kids came out for a visit in May it was one of the things on their very short to do list. Ms. P's cousin, Will had been to DisneyWorld back when Ms. P was in momma's womb at 8 weeks, so he was excited to return to the fun place and meet Mickey at Disneyland. Lila had never been to either the Florida or California parks so this was her very first time! I bought the three kids matching sweaters and shirts. They looked so adorable. We knew with three small children we couldn't see everything so we stuck to Fantasyland and ToonTown for most of the day. We had a great time! We even snuck in the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean for the adults later in the day. Ms. P her first balloon which had the distinction of being the most expensive balloon ever purchased at $8. We ate dinner at The Plaza Inn and finally tried their famous chicken dinner which was soooo good! We even visited the Tiki Room and Papa had his Dole Whip. Ms. P's was so excited in the Tiki Room. She absolutely loved the talking birds! We ended the day with Will and Uncle Matt going on the rocket ships in Tomorrowland. We stayed till about 8pm which was later than any of thought we would make it with 3 kids 3 years old and under! Truly a fun day!

Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...
