Thanksgiving 2012


We were able to be in Hurricane, Utah for Thanksgiving this year on our way back from CA. We also had a few friends stop by to share the food. It is always nice to go down south and visit with these great people. The picture above is Parker helping to peel the potatoes for dinner and Scotlyn is helping to make the gravy in the below picture.

Disneyland & Calico Ghost Town : November 19-20, 2012


We went to Disneyland with Jinnefer and the kids, and Jason and Sarah. We all had so much fun being together and riding all the rides. The kids loved watching the parade and seeing all the characters. It was a wonderful trip and the kids are all excited to go again. The first two pictures are of us in line waiting for the Bug's Life show to start. The kids were scared in the interactive show. 



Waiting in line for the bumper cars in the Bug's Life area. Our day got off to a slow start because we tried to do Car's Land first and it was too crowded.

Waiting for the Pixar Parade to start.





What a super duper Cooper!!!





Alicia & Parker on Casey Junior.





Some of the following pictures are of us in Calico Ghost town. The kids thought it was pretty neat also. We rode an old train, panned for gold, and went in an old creaky mysterious shack. Some are still of our wonderful time at Disneyland.

Thanksgiving Break 2012

 We took a trip to CA for the Thanksgiving Break. We stayed at Jinnefer and Derricks house and the kids had a great time playing together. Our first stop took place on Sunday which was the Aquarium of the Pacific Ocean. Then we took the kids to Long Beach and they loved rolling around in the sand.
