For the whole, maybe 2 people that religiously read my blog, i'm sorry for not updating in a while. It's been a little busy. So let's dive right into it.
On Oct. 12th Bryan and I hoped into Bush (my Focus) and started the 10 hr dr. to So. Cal. We hung out with Bryan's family for 2 days and then we started the real trip. Tues Oct 14th, early in the morning we drove to the mission home and picked up Elder Davidson. I honestly can't believe that 2 years have passed since he left. In those 2 years, I have met and married Bryan, celebrated an anniversary and My other brother and his wife have had a little girl and she has also turned one. A lot happens in 2 years
The whole Famdamily and Elder Davidson. When Spenser left, 2 of these people weren't part of the family.
So when we pick up Spense we decide to drive around the prettier parts of his mission, by prettier I mean the parts up in the mountains. And can I just say that So. Cal, unless your on the ocean, is really really ugly, you could not pay me enough to live there. So we went up to Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake, it's beautiful up there and a little chilly.
Bryan and I in Lake Arrowhead. The minimum cost of a cottage up here $350,000
We don't get to take family pics very often, so when we do we take a lot.
All the kids trying to lift Spenser's fat behind.
After driving around for about 5 hours, we went to Medieval Knights; a restaurant where they do jousting and you have to eat with your hands. It was a....unique experience. The food wasn't great and the acting was bad, but it was entertaining none the less. Below are a couple pics
Ahh, Medieval Knights.
Then the best part. DISNEYLAND!!!!!! I have never really been (I went when I was like 2, but that doesn't count because I have no memories)
It was great, I loved it. The only down side, is it's sooo expensive. Bryan and I bought 2 hoodies and like 3 other little things and that came to almost $200. So overall it was awesome, we are planning on going back in March when we are there for our cousin Suzann'e wedding. So below are a couple of the pics from Disneyland.
Of all the rides and fun things to do, the boys wanted to play a basketball game in the arcade. They went to all the trouble of finding quarters and realized the game was out of order.
We were first in line to see Minnie, and then this spanish speaking family decided to budge us in line and take each individual kids pic with Minnie, gurgle. Well we finally got ours, and Minnie kept shushing us cause Kenzie was sleeping.Tower of terror, best flipping ride ever. We went twice because there was no line.
The Incredibles. For some reason, all dignity is thrown out the window when you meet the characters, it's like being 5 again.
OK, so this picture is great. You see Coryn mopping? We had to run the whole way to space mountain cause it might have closed. She was balling by the time we got there, screaming she didn't want to go on the ride. She stayed pissed the whole time and when she was done was telling us how much she enjoyed it...7 year olds.
You have to pose like a statue when in Disneyland. Notice Bryan in the background?
I love this picture. It's Bryan chasing Kenzie through California Adventure. He will be so cute with our kids.
And Kenzie showing Uncle Bryan where she wants to go next
And one more. This is actually after the park at Olive Garden. Kenzie had been a little backed up since they arrived in Cali and she was trying soo hard to poo and it just wan't working. She she would be coloring and suddenly make this face and concentrate really hard and you just knew she was trying to poo with all her might. A couple at the table behind us were pointing and laughing. Poor thing.
