[QUOTE="RhondaVoos, post: 193397, member: 5868"] Bask in that feeling girl, you've earned it! i hope your other weekends are just as good. We adopted older kids from foster care (son 4 and daughter 6) We spend a week every year at Disneyland. My kids used to take every oppourtunity to "ruin" it for me and for THEMSELVES. I tried everything. I finally started bringing a stroller as a portable time out chair. After the first time I used it, (they were APALLED, way embarrassed to be in a stroller at that age) mostly it was just used for carrying our stuff. But it was always there, lurking, waiting to be needed. My kids were 8 and 10 when I stopped bringing the stroller. They tried telling me they were too big for it, I told them i would butter them and slide them in if I had to. They knew I meant it. I would just blissfully (can't let them see you sweat) push them along while saying things like "I am sorry that you are too tired to enjoy yourself, maybe after a rest in the stroller, you can have some fun... If that doesn't work, you can at least have a good laugh about it (on the inside) Rhonda [/QUOTE]
