We're baaaaack! Vegas was a bit of a whirlwind, but oh so fun. We swam, we ate, we sunburned. And we're happy to be home. :) Taking the kids was fun. There's been a lot of changes over the past few years and they've made it somewhat family friendly. Sure, there was some stuff that their little eyes (or even my poor eyes, for that matter) shouldn't be seeing, but they did great. We had a little chat with them before we left and prepared them for the craziness that is Vegas. We took a lot of ... Read More
Disneyland Pt. 6
Here we are folks. Our final day in Disneyland. Bless you, if you've made it with us this far. I'm even tired of writing about it, but I know I'll regret it later on down the road if I don't memorialize our trip. Our last day was so much more relaxed than our first day. There was no urgency to do anything, mostly because we had already done it. So we just took our sweet time and rode our favorites again and tried to beat our high scores on the Buzz Light Year Ride. Aidon loved this rocket ride ... Read More
Disneyland Pt 4
My goal is to finish blogging about Disneyland before the end of the year. Keep your fingers crossed, folks. This was day 1 of 2 at California Adventure. We got in early and made a beeline for the Pier so we could get lots of rides in on California Screamin'. When we got there though, Aidon had a little freak out moment and decided he didn't want to go on the coaster after all. Which was fine by me. 9am is a little early to be scared outta my pants. Huz, Trenton and Jackson got to go on about ... Read More
Labor Dave 2016
Well we are back, rested and minus one layer of skin (sunburns) from our annual camping trip at the Gorge. This year did not disappoint, we had so much fun. Although one thing is clear: gone are the days of sitting around a campfire until 2am, playing games and roasting marshmallows. Now that we're all in our 30's, we literally race to our tents as soon as the sun goes down, anxious to get a full nights sleep. Oh how times change. :) Regardless, it was a blast. It was worth packing up the ... Read More
Disneyland Pt. 3
This was our first day in the park. As you can you see, the weather wasn't great in the morning. It had even rained the night before. But by the afternoon it started to get hot and the water rides were a welcome sight. We weren't sure what the lines or crowds would be like, so we ran, yes ran, to Star Tours. After getting on the ride within 15 minutes, we figured we could slow our Disney roll. We got into the park by 8am and by 10am, we'd done Star Tours, Buzz Lightyear, Space Mountain, and the ...
