One of the best parts about going to Disneyland alone with the kids occurs
the last 5 minutes of the day.
Here's the scenario:
I am pushing a stroller filled with 3 kids rather than the 2 it is made for.
My body is definitely in cardio mode at this point (my kids have been told by a passerby that they have the fastest mom at Dland and then he proceeded to try and race me...weird!).
From a distance I can see a white beauty glistening from the lights of the parking structure.
I start walking double time, I have almost made it.
The most wonderful sound then occurs when I push the button on my key chain and the side doors magically POP open...music to my ears.
6 clicks later I have all 3 kids buckled into their car seats, they are now strapped and stuck. YES!!!
My last strenuous job of the day is to lift the stroller and literally throw it in the back.
It is now smooth sailing from here on out.
As I climb into my seat and start the car, a wave of accomplishment rushes over me...
I did it!
I survived another Disneyland trip on my own and all kids are accounted for.
Now I get to enjoy a peaceful ride home because the kids are asleep in 3.2 seconds.
Perfect Ending!

You're so brave!
Really I dont know how you do it!!
I know EXACTLY the feeling :)!!!
Ps. I love that green shirt you are wearing. cute.
Just taking MYSELF is exhausting.
I have a season ticket and I need to get my money's worth, I'm gearing up for it hopefully soon when my grandkids go back
That's quite the accomplishment. I barely make it with one!
Way fun, cute pictures! love you guys!
I really don't know how you do it! We went on Wednesday and not only was Alan there, but my brother in law and sister in law. I love extra reinforcements! And you have one more than me!
Okay, look at my blog about dinseyland and the stroller. I saw your blog from Crystal's. Anyways, it's funny how us mommies of three make the double stroller work!!
Brave lady! I still haven't taken all 3 by myself. I just can imagine the exhastion and avoid it! Good job!
You are right on about that. My favorite is when they fall asleep on the ride home and it is absolutely quiet. I hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself.
I really miss Dland. It's only been 2 months but it feels like 2 years. The extra child just makes it that much harder. Too bad triple strollers are lame.
