MUMBO!!!!

I have been such a bad blogger lately, I'm not even going to try to catch up for the past few months... I'll just jump right in with our latest adventures. For Christmas, Bryson and I got two Southern California City passes from his work. These passes include 3-day park hopper tickets to Disneyland and California adventure, and one day each to Universal Studios, Sea World, and the San Diego Zoo or Wild Animal Park. We decided to use those passes last week, and it was a blast! I didn't think Davis would enjoy it as much as he did, but he LOVED it! After the first day at Disneyland, he woke up every morning screaming in excitement, "MUMBO!" or "UMBO!!!"... which is Davis talk for Dumbo. I think we went on the ride 15 times over the three days. He also loved the new and improved Small World, which we think we went on 8 to 10 times... that was about 1 time short of enough to make me lose my mind. We basically went on just about every ride in both parks, ate our weight in churros, and enjoyed the lovely southern california weather (aside from two rainy mornings, it was perfect). We even got to sneak in a little family time- my mom and John-kai joined us for one day at the happiest place on earth, and we got to see my dad, jane and the kids on the way there and back.
While we were there, waiting in lines to go on rides, we kept telling Davis that he would get to go "on it" soon, and he quickly learned to say "on it" when he wanted to go on a ride. The only problem was that he didn't understand that not all things were rides. He told us he wanted to go on Shamu, the dolphin tank, the gorillas, lions, etc, etc. I'm sure some day he'll forgive us for not letting him go on those rides.
The sad thing is, now that we're back, he stills yells "MUMBO!" in excitement a few times every day, followed by a "YAY!" or "AHOO!" (woo hoo)... I feel so badly that I can't take him "on it."
