Two Hippies and a Princess

Buy Me Some Peanuts and Crackerjack, and while you are at it, a Hot Dog, PLEEEEAAASE!

This summer we played a lot of baseball. Needless to say, as a result of much begging, we spent a lot of money at the concessions stand. But, I digress.

It all started in April when E was put on the Angels' team. Things started slowly...after 3 games, the Angels had 3 losses. But, after that, each game saw improvement. They started to actually make plays and get hits! By the end of the regular season, the Angels took 1st place (trophy #1). They had a small, single-elimination tournament and the Angels took 1st place again (trophy #2). Finally, there was one final game to go...The All Star Game. The best players from all the teams were chosen and divided between 2 teams that would play one 7 inning game . . .

Trophy #3


(celebrating with shakes)

Congratulations E...my little all star!
*sniff*sniff* they grow so fast.

Intro to Summer Vaycay

O and my sign from last year put to good use again this year

welcoming all the school children to Summer Vacation:

Then, we quickly went south to warmer weather:

our favorite sand dunes in Snow Canyon.

E doing a back flip:

We took the new boat along:

Quail Creek Reservoir.

E & C took a spin on the tube. It was hard to tell if they were crying out of fear or fun.

I love the color of this water!

E's feet:

good times.

Happiest Place on Earth: part 3 the beach

The building behind me is our hotel. We stayed on the 9th floor. After taking this picture, O and I headed back to our hotel room. While we were there, the room started to sway as if we were on Pineview Reservoir. EARTHQUAKE! It lasted for less than a minute and nothing came crashing down, but wow, was it an eery feeling.

It's a small world, isn't it?

Loved California Adventure!

(can you spot me...It wasn't especially warm and I didn't want to get wet.)

The Happiest Place on Earth, part 1

(Whomever invented the the Disneyland "Fast Pass" was a genius and I hope they were given a bonus that would make Bernie Madoff blush. )
