Family day at Disneyland








Well, with Allison's family all in town for the wedding on Saturday we all went to Disneyland for the day. Luckily, the crowds were small and the weather was good. Jacen and Kate got to go on most of the rides that they could. Jacen was big enough for the Matterhorn, Space Mountain, Star Tours, and even Splash Mountain. He was really brave! I remember being a little freaked out over the Matterhorn until I was about 8. Of course, it didn't help having to ride the skyway and see the huge frightening snow monster. No wonder I was freaked out. Anyway, it was a long day and someone had the bright idea to get in the Finding Nemo line at 7:50 right before the park closed at 8PM. It was a 45 minute line. So basically we were the last ones out of the park, and poor Kate slept through the entire ride.

The wedding on Saturday went well. Alex and Shauna got married at the San Diego Temple and had the reception back in Temecula. It was a grueling day though - 95 degrees and a photographer who took about 10 minutes between each picture. Sadly, we all missed Vati's 90th birthday EXTRAVAGANZA. Just really bad luck to have to have two of these things on the exact same day. It would be great to have all the kids visit Mercer Island...and plus Jacen needs to redeem himself for the first time he met Mutti and Vati where he immediately vomitted right on their entryway floor.
