Disney Report

Yes, we survived the Disneyland experience! It's been hard to get back into the routine... and I'm exhausted. BUT, it was all worth it. Here's a few highlights:


** riding all the big rides at least three times each... all together... as a family (well, except for California Screamin' which Toto refused to try)

** avoiding some of the long lines by having JJ sit in a wheelchair to save the wear and tear on her still healing knee that she blew out at dance a week or so ago.

** making the most of two entire days and one half a day at Disneyland! Non-stop running here and there until the bitter end!

** taking a day off of Disneyland to match our hands to the handprints of the stars in the sidewalk in Hollywood...


** .... and wading on the beach.
** visiting Grandma and Grandma both coming and going.

** reading in the car! And when it was dark, listening to a very fun, newly discovered podcast about books. (Check it out here: Books on the Nightstand)

** sleeping! Ah, we slept hard and heavy!

** eating! Ah, we ate tons too much! (Including at an In and Out Burger for our first time finally!)

** finally arriving home at straight up midnight after driving all day long! Whew!

Now, I've got to get reading. I have an over due book at the library... and blog tour stop next week! And book clubs coming up. And challenges running out. You know... the usual....

  2. Looks like you guys had a great time. It's fun to see pictures of your family grown up. Even though you just live a few streets away - I only get to see Tori!
