miles to go on tired feet

So - how many people can fit into one theme park? All I know is more than I ever want to see ever again. Disneyland, the happiest place on earth, land of the giant strollers and electric scooters with no regards to toes or feet. Where you stand for hours to get into the attraction and then stand for hours just to watch the show with a disney host yelling at you if you sit down because then they can't shove in the 200 more people with no regards to personal space.

Enough complaining it was a fun trip. We are all exhausted and it will take days to recover. I will say that the kid were great. they put up with hunger and exhaustion and still, i think, had loads of fun. Bee was such a surprise willing to ride any ride we put her one including Space Mountain, Matterhorn, Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder Railroad. She totally shocked us. G-bear rode everything we asked him to as well and really enjoyed Haunted Mansion and the Gadget coaster in Toon Town. We got great pictures with Jack Skelllington, Capt Jack Sparrow, Stitch and many other characters. Trick-or-treated in Disneyland and had an overall fun time.

We played at Balboa Beach and both G-Bear and Bee got soaked by waves in the ocean covered in sand and wanted to spend even more time at the beach. Traffic was good we only got stuck in Vegas in bad traffic. Weather wast cool and rainy but a misty rain. It was humid and if I don't see a plate of hashbrowns and scrambled eggs in the next month it will be too soon.

Learned that while staying further away is cheaper, it is really not worth the fact that you are at the mercy of the hotel shuttle and UEA week is not the best week to go. But I loved halloween at the park. The decorations are awesome, the fireworks were cool and seeing the Disney Villains is well worth the trip.

Enough time to get into trouble?

Isn't it funny how we always say that we don't have enough time. Time to accomplish all of the goals we set for ourselves in one day, one week, one month. That is my excuse for the lack of posts that have happened over the last little while. It is funny when I was truly busy going to school and working I seemed to have time to post yet now that I am not in school i have the hardest time fitting in the time to do it. Maybe it is not a lack of time but desire to share what is going on or maybe it is just that what is going on is so boring or simple that to take the time to write about it seems wrong.

We are all fine here at the crazy house. Ty and Boo are currently attending Banzai anime festival and we have all seen very little of them over the last two days. D and I are trying to get ourselves ready to take the kids on a vacation and it is amazing how hard it has been to find six matching Disney type shirts to wear on our little trip. We even went to Orem tonight to see if we could find some at the only Disney store in Utah but alas we were unsuccessful in our quest. We still have tons of stuff to do and only 3 days to do it in.

Puppy is doing well. She is such a trouble maker that often I think we should have gotten the calm puppy but it is fun to watch her run around. We did finally settle on a name and our little white girl is named Rayne. She looks just like our other Shiba except for being white.

Boo has her first job and we see much less of her as she is busy with school and work. She ended up working for the library, like me, except at a different branch. I think she enjoys her job but misses the free time she used to have. I worry about her keeping up with work and school but she is determined and seems to be doing alright. I know she enjoys the paycheck and having her own money instead of having to ask mom and dad all the time.

so as we end remember this about time and having enough to do all that we do-
