May 5, 2013

We went on our big trip.  We had a great time.  We stayed in a hotel across the street from disneyland Wednesday night.  We got two rooms.  Thursday the park opened at 10.  It was really nice to walk into disneyland instead of riding the tram from the parking lot with all the crowds.  The weather was warm, but not too bad.  We all had a great time.  Seth was brave about all the rides. He even rode splash mountain and liked it. And he loved Buzz Lightyear; we rode it three times.  Ruby was great too. She took a 2 hour nap in the stroller in the afternoon.  We watched the parade at 7 and then it closed at 8.  We didn't wait longer than 25 minutes for any of the rides.  It was a really fun day.

We stayed at Ryan's that night and went to Magic Mountain on Friday.  It opened at 10:30.  It wasn't crowded at all. The longest we waited for anything was 5 minutes, except for a couple rides that took longer because they broke down while we were in line. Everyone loved all the roller coasters.  Seth rode anything he was tall enough for and loved it.  Danny, Rachel and Aaron all rode the big roller coasters. Their favorite was Goliath. It was fun to watch their different reactions.  Danny was pretty freaked out before the rides, but he couldn't back down if the other kids were riding.  Rachel was totally excited for everything.  Aaron was pretty even.  He said he wasn't freaked out and I think he really wasn't.  They all loved it when they were done. Ryan and Venessa and their kids and Mom and Dad came with us.

Saturday was a kids fishing day at their lake.  Our kids loved it even though they didn't catch anything.  Then we went to the beach.  We had a great time.  It was great weather to sit on the beach and watch.  The water was a little too cold for boogie boarding, but the splashed around a lot, and found lots of shells and sand crabs.  Danny caught 2 surf perch with Ryan's fishing pole.  He was pretty excited about that. Bob took the 3 oldest to the NCAA volleyball championship that night. BYU was playing in it and it was at UCLA.

Now back to regular school life.  One month left of school.  May is always busy.
