Travels

We were able to have a couple of good trips the last few weekends. We went out to Kelly & Cameron's to watch conference. The kids liked spending time with them, and it was good to see them.

The kids had fun with some balloons and figuring out how static works...
Emma kept trying to share her little kaleidoscope with Kelly ...


And Kelly introduced Ezra to watercolors. He thought it was great.

The next weekend we made a trip out to California to Disneyland with Susan's family. It was fun to get to see everyone there as well, even if the trip did end up to be a bit exhausting.

When we first got to our hotel room, we were getting situated and both kids disappeared. Going around the corner we found them, but not before they found the box of tissue.


The kids generally enjoyed the trip. They loved seeing the characters and parades and such.

A couple of mornings we went to have breakfast where they had some of the characters. Ezra warmed right up them, but Emma was hesitant at first.

One of the bears even "attacked" Shawn, and Ezra had to save him.

The kids didn't hold it against him though.

They really didn't care too much for most of the rides though. Guess they're still a bit small. The few rides that they did like were the bumper cars, a little kid caterpillar train ride, small world, the jungle cruise, and the storybook land ferry. Ezra got to spend some time alone with grandma and grandpa, which he thought was the best ever. It did kind of wipe him out though coming "home" that late.
Some of the biggest hits were the fountain area and the ball that "floats" on water. Those both kept the kids entertained for quite a while.


As they get to be a bit older, I think that trips like that will be more fun for them.

Last weekend we got the fall garden planted. Hopefully we'll have quite a bit of stuff out of that. We all loved just being outside, now that it finally is starting to not be so hot. Seems like summer was late in coming and also late in leaving this year.
