Even though the forcast was for rain we decided to brave it and head to Disneyland yesterday. It was our last opportunity to see fireworks while our tickets were good. Traffic down was pretty bad and the 1 1/2 hour drive took 3. That’s longer than it will take to see Gary and Liesls family when they are in Cedar and we are in Vegas. Anyway when we got there it was really coming down. There is a tram that takes you from the parking lot to the parks. There are two rows that are designed especially for strollers and the line there is always longer of course, with the amount of people bringing little kids. I was waiting in that line with one other lady. Just as the tram pulled up, 800 middle school kids from Las Vegas got off a bus and pushed past us taking up all the seats including the stroller row. I used my best authoritarian voice and told them to move it. I guess they didn’t want to fight me since they all got us and moved.
We hurried into one of the stores before the entrance and bought a parka to put over the stroller to keep Sophia dry and Serra and I used our trusty umbrellas. By the time we made it into the parks the rain started to slow down and the fun began. Gary’s family met us there a little after noon. It was a great day although the crowds were a bit heavier than we liked. We got to do almost everything we wanted and only avoided a couple of things because of lines. We got to see fireworks at the end of the day and that was great. It was a fun show and Serra couldn’t stand to sit down to watch. She bolted to her feet everytime something exciting happened which was every few seconds.
The drive home was brutal as I was one tired cookie. I am so lucky to have such a good baby though. Sophia was an angel all day and both girls slept the whole way home. Serra actually crashed before I left the parking space. Thanks Gary, Liesl, and Kids for sacraficing your time to escort us in style once again.
We had two showings of the house today and they both really liked it. One is coming back tomorrow to see it again. I hope that is a good sign. Keep your fingers crossed. Pictures soon.

The blessings of the MTC are too numerous for us to internalize in total… so we are sending the rest along to loved ones… pc
Enjoy, enjoy. Disneyland will soon be “far away”. (Are you missing your folks yet?)
It was no sacrifice, believe me. Disneyland is always fun, rain or shine, when you’re surrounded by ecstatic little kids. And thanks for coming down to our place this evening – it’s always great fun getting together!! ~G
