Disneyland: Day 1

Thursday night we head out of town to L.A. By this time, our girls know that we are going to California and are going to visit some friends, but that is the extent of our explanation. Thursday night, we get to the place we are staying and hit the sack. Before doing that though, I ask Gracey, "Do you know where we are?"

Gracey says "Cafornia" (yes, I left the 'li' out on purpose because that is what it sounds like when she says it!)

I say, "what else is in California?"

G: "I don't know."

Then I tell her that we are going to Disneyland in the morning!

If you know Gracey well, you know she gets really excited and makes a funny noise that has kind of become a family joke. If I could describe it with letters, it would be "Eeeeeeeee" but coming from the depths of her throat and sounding like she was just punched in the stomach!

We had a lot of "EEEEEEEEE" going on!

Anyway, we went to bed, woke up early, and got a great start to a fun-filled day.

It was great day. We had a great time with the Swenson's and the Larson's! We have really missed them since getting out of the army and it was great to enjoy the weekend with all of them.

For now though, I will let the pictures do the talking.













This last shot is one I took while figuring out a setting on my camera. I am glad I took it because it shows our group! Corky and I have 2 kids, Swenson's have 3 kids, and the Larson's have 5. That is 10 kids, age 8 and younger. Let me tell you, for as big as the group was, the kids were so great!!! The older kids really helped with the younger ones and all had a great time. We had so much fun together!
