It's time to be honest with myself and everyone around me...I'm really starting to like Yuma a-LOT. It's a cozy little city with GREAT perks all around it. We enjoyed TWO of them this last weekend. We took off Thursday night and headed for Aneheim, CA to spend all day Friday at Disneyland and California Adventure.
Below is a picture of what I think are some of the coolest mountains. On the way to San diego you go through a mountain pass that looks totally like this all the way through it. Except most of the parts are even MORE magnificient. But don't the mountains look like a bunch of boulders just kind of fell into place to form the mountains. It is the coolest sight.
Not long after we got to our hotel did we have our first accident - of course our walking time bomb fell off a roller chair face first and got a bloody nose and a black eye. But that wouldn't be the first accident of the trip...
Friday was a ball at the park. We got there about 8:30am and left about 9:45pm. Over 13 hours of DISNEY FUN!
OHHH...and here's the next blunder...Brian fell backwards onto a rock and smashed in his head a bit. Well, technically he smashed OUT his head - he had a goose egg sticking out about an inch and blood everywhere. Disney nurses took care of us like we were royalty. I even got to ride in a wheelchair through California Adventure with him. a little embarrassing...but, hey, I didn't have to walk. lol!
I've decided I want some stilts! How fun is that! PLUS...California Adventure has the BEST Pixar Parade. SO FUN!!
At the end of the fireworks we were proud of the fact that we spend one full day and were able to get on MOST of the rides that the kids wanted. We weren't able to do Jedi Training this time but all in all A TOTAL SUCCESS!
Gotta LOVE Disney!
ON TO THE BEACH!
We spent Saturday and Sunday in San Diego. It was windy but the beach was great fun. Can you ever beat spending relaxing time on the beach...NO WAY!
That's Blake...he and wife, Brooke, hung out on the beach with us.
Yeah Baby!! That's my hubby running. Doesn't he have a nice lookin backside! It's okay - you can say YES!
Indiana Blake! After Brent and Blake's run up the beach, Blake came back with this...I have know Idea what "this" is, but the kids thought he was the coolest person EVER because of it.
I think Brooke liked it too! Seven or so months married - these two are such a cute couple! And so good with the kids! After we left the beach all we heard from the kids was, "when are we going to see Blake again...where's Blake...can we go to Blake's...".
Before we went home on Sunday we checked out the Cabrillo National Monument on the peninsula of the state. There is some great history there; one of the first 8 light houses in California was built there and is showcased. But look at the view across to the city. I bet on a clear day that would be an even more magnificent sight.
San Diego sure treated us right! It was so much fun between the beach and hotel swimming, a session at the temple, shopping at IKEA, and just some good ol' fun! Thanks family for making it another PERFECT Weekend!
