Moab 08

This weekend we went to Moab with my brothers and their families. We had a lot of fun. I didn't take too many pictures as we went down to Arches 4 or 5 years ago. To see more pictures, way cute pictures, see Becca's blog, the link is on the right. We camped for two nights and went on the hike up to Delicate arch, though wrongly named, and played games. I love playing card games and talking with my siblings. I think one of the highlights was when we were telling John about some technology he didn't know about. I like feeling smart and knowing about things before them. I am not sure why I think he should be smarter and know about things before me, maybe it is because he is older. Anyone have any insight on that? The more I think about that the more I think it must just be because he is older. When I was in high school I had the opportunity to help him with his college algebra class. I am good at teaching math but I still feel that he should be smarter and more up on technology than I am. Weird how this all works out. Anyway, enjoy the pictures. And I am posting a lot because they are all way to big to email to all of you like you were so nice and did for me.

Disneyland Highlights

Here are some pictures from our California trip. If you want to see all of them they are printed and in a nice photo album at our house. They had so much fund and we had a lot of fun watching them have fun. The parades were fun, especially the Play Parade in California Adventure. All of the people were from the recent movies and the kids new them all. I can't wait to go back in several years and do all the bigger kid rides with them. We were even so lucky as to be able to be first in line on the first day that we went. Lucky things kept happening to us. I don't know what we were doing right but it made it so much fun.

Henry's Update

Just an update for all of you who haven't heard yet: Henry has the fabulous joy of wearing an eye patch for 4 hours a day until his surgery on July 18. It would have been sooner but we scheduled all of our trips when they could do it! The surgery has an 85% success rate so hopefully he only has to have it once. My poor baby. Please remember him in your prayers.

DISNEYLAND

We are only going to have internet today so I am going to tell you what we did last night and what we plan to do the rest of the time. When we get home I can update this and put up pictures.
We made it here in ten and a half hours with two stops. (WAHOO!) We got here early enough that we were able to go to downtown Disney and see Kungfoo Panda, or however you spell it. We give it four thumbs up! While we were waiting for the movie we walked around and saw some of the great stores that they have. The Lego store was a big hit. I got some pictures of the kids and Mike with R2-D2 and Darth Vader, Lego style. There was also a gynormous giraffe made out of Legos. We also got a picture of Libby in the Libby Lu store. We also wandered through the Disney store, no LGM yet mom. But I do know that there is a LGM store in Disneyland, we will check it out tomorrow. They had a lot of live music in downtown, Henry finally let me dance with him, we had a lot of fun.
I am almost better. So right now Mike is out seeing how long it will take to walk down the street to Disneyland so we know when we need to leave for Breakfast with Mickey tomorrow. After that we plan on seeing lots of princesses and hopefully Buzz and getting lots of signatures. I think the kids are getting excited about rides as they saw some yesterday but they were in California Adventure. I hope this all works out.
We will also go to Disneyland on Tuesday.
Then Wednesday it is get up and drive home day. The drive down was actually not that bad. The kids did relatively well. Lets hope they do as well on the way back.
