I love to be on the go. We used to go to the park and play at the mall a minimum of once per week. At some point in the last year, the youngest 2 became too difficult to manage alone out in the big world. For sanity and safety sake, we stay home most days. I would love to take the kids to Disneyland or Sea World, but I am not sure we are ready for that yet. Perhaps my 3 daws are not prepared for amusement parks on a grand scale but I was just realizing how many awesome "rides" and adventures we have right here at home!
We have an exclusive
water park. Nothing creates fun faster than cascading water, courtesy of our lead rubber hose. It may be challenging to take the kids to the pool or California Adventure, but I do have running water and a questionably toxic hose!
I can't leave out our marvelous Mad Hatter tea cups. Yes, I am the madness that spins this little cup. Surprisingly, there can still be a long line to ride this little wonder! Who would've thought one office chair could
yield so much joy?
I shouldn't leave out Mr. Toads Wild ride. It may look like an ordinary wagon, but this little wagon can get pretty CraZy! The first time I kissed our Mr. Toad he turned into a real life prince! Now that is magical.
Next stop, laundry room. What is it about being in the dryer? This opportunity is far to exciting to pass up! All 3 gems have found their way into the dryer roller coaster. You know you want to. Once I even found my husband trying to climb in! It really does bring out your inner child!
Who needs Disneyland on boxing day? Attend a boxing match? Play Mike Tyson's punch out? No punching bags necessary with brothers and parents around. Dad's hat and hulk hands are a winning combination orchestrated by Lincoln. What can I say, the kid has mad skills!
The very best thing about this adventure park? When the boys grab my legs and freak out I can grab my camera and capture the fond memories. No horrified and scrutinizing looks from surrounding adults. No tortured ride home while the natives scream bloody murder. No members of the party lost along the way. No matter the amusement park, everyone reaches a point where they have had enough fun.
The beauty of this amusement park? When we have all exceeded our fun threshold it is clear that there really is no place like home, and thank goodness we are already there! It is possible the little boys are not ready for all of the enjoyment Disneyland has to offer. Luckily for me, I have them convinced that they live in the happiest place on earth.

Very cute! I love how you can just look in your picture file in your little computer and find so many pictures that fit the bill. It really is a testament that these boys have fun parents. You can twist any way you want it, but you guys have fun!
That is so awesome... I need to convince my kids that our house is the happiest place on earth! We promised them Disneyland when they finished reading the Book of Mormon, and we're on Alma ch. 8. We started two years ago, so I have a little bit longer to save up the money. :)
Can we come to Dawsneyland tomorrow? :)
Wow! See, what a great Mom! Finding happiness and silliness right at home. Since today is ANOTHER snow day, you've inspired me.
P.S Are you also serving up churros and other amusement park fare?
Your house truly is a fun place to come. We always have the best time!
hhhhhmmmmm.....churros......
Hilarious....love it!! :)
You are funny, I'm with Bubba on the churros?? I go to Disneyland just for those.
Found you through Party at the Parrishes. So glad to see the incredible family you are raising. Keep up the good work! Nana P
Love the new background, Wen! Nice work! You forgot one of the BEST rides-- an empty Huggies box! The boys used to push Britt around in it like a car (yes we were very, very poor-- boxes for toys). I think they called her somthingzilla-- no maybe it was Duzette. Somehow the boys morphed Medusa with something feminine, voile-- Duzette! Life's a treasure--it's those fun times that you will always remember. :) TuTu
So do you sell tickets to your adventure park? Just saying...you could make a few bucks on the side while having fun at the same time! We'd buy a few and be returning customers.
That was just cute! What a great post and a great way to look at things. Little worried about the dryer ride, but as they are all still alive, I'll let it go.
We are Disneyland junkies, but I have to say that your creativity is right up there and runs a close 2nd to the real Disneyland. Let them think this as long as you can...it will save your TONS of moola!
Anaother great post, Wendy! LOVE your ability to have so much fun with the everyday! Loved Mollie's coinage...Dawsneyland! :) Truly, the happiest KINGDOM of all!

Well, how come my house isn't as fun as yours?? The dryer ride? Now that was just off limits--perhaps I should change my mind on that! :) However, the office chair is a definite hit, as well as the Hulk hands and "box pull" that someone else mentioned. I just forgot to think of it as "magical." You've reminded me. Thanks!
