Disneyland

In the beginning

What a trip. I am still a believer that Disneyland is one of the "Happiest Places on Earth". The pixie dust still washes over the family even when no one is under the age of 10. We had a fabulous time and were able to spend two days playing in Disneyland and California adventure. We had tshirts with our last name on the front but of course no one could read our name. For some reason when people see the name Urmston they forget that phonetics is a principle of the English language. We heard quite a few comments about the family in blue. I forget that most people don't have familiy as large as ours. I was a little nervous about California Adventure because I don't really do rides and after the family rode Tower of Terror and said it was a blast, I tried it. I am still not a thrill rider. The rest of the day I was shot but we still had a great time and ran from ride to ride. We rode Monsters Inc. and at the end there is a large figure of Roz- she made a comment directed at Jordan (the boy in the front with glasses) and pretty much freaked us all out. I felt like Big Brother was watching. I never knew there were people watching but it makes sense in this crazy world. We rode everything at least once and I was happy to go to a drawing class so my head would stop spinning. We ended up with some pretty nice caricatures of Mickey and Donald. We dropped Courtney off at LAX and all but Dad slept on the drive home.

So fun - I love how everyone can enjoy Disneyland. Although we call my dad "Grumpy" affectionately he even seems to be all smiles while at Disneyland. If only, I wasn't trying to keep up with him all day I might be able to catch a glimpse of that childish grin instead of the back of his head.

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Sun-kissed and oh so happy at Leo Carillo! Our Easter tradition for 20 years and we couldn't be in a better place. Life is all about family and I feel so blessed to have the children and husband that I have.
