We're goin' to Disneyland!

Or rather, we just got back a week ago. We had a blast! I actually think we ran poor Alyson into the ground, and she didn't like Space Mountain much, but other than that (and me catching a wicked cold on our way back), we had a ball! It's kind of our first real vacation as a family. Pitiful, isn't it?


"Mustard?! Don't let's be silly."


Here are some highlights:

Nathaniel was chosen for Jedi Training and fought Darth Maul.








Alyson got to meet all of her favorite princesses, including Sleeping Beauty.




Nathaniel won the Golden Scream award for a truly painful and obnoxious scream.

At Medieval Times, Michal received a flower from the Blue Knight, and Alyson was chosen as the Blue Kingdom "Queen of Love and Beauty". (She now introduces herself as "Princess Alyson, Queen of Love and Beauty."


We got to visit the Reagan Memorial Library in Simi Valley and see Air Force One.


We are grateful to Adam, Michelle, Owen and Will. They watched Sparky for us while we were gone. We also got to crash at Doug and Cindy Westenskow's in Simi Valley from Friday to Sunday. We would NOT like to thank the Arizona DOT who closed I-15 Northbound down to one lane on Sunday, with nary a construction worker in sight. Added a whole hour to our trip!

Looks like an awesome trip! I'm so glad you did a blog so I can see pictures. You all look so great and Alyson is SOOOO grown up!!

Loved the pic of you in the hat, Brad. It was as if you were in the room with me saying that perfectly, the way only you can do.

Still laughing...
