Taylor

So I just wanted to tell this story about Taylor. While we were in Disneyland she had to go potty, so of course I took her and while she was in the stall she was singing I Am a Child of God at the top of her lungs. It was really funny. I did get some smile out of people who were walking in. What reminded me of this story is cause all day she has been singing primary songs, the did the program yesterday and she did such an awsome job. I look forward to the primary program every yr. You can always feel such a great spirit from these kids as they tell us what they have learned that yr.

Sea World

Brianna crashed after a long morning. I wished did did this on the bus but o well.
A tree I saw that i thought was really neat. The branches grew towards the ground.
A cute picture of the kids in front of a pic of a polar bear.

So on Tues we took a bus to sea world. It was a lot of fun there. I knew Ben would be looking forward to seeing the sharks and he loved looking at them. Taylor wanted to see the polar bears and she loved the penguins. We went back twice to see them. Brianna also loved the sharks. We saw the Shamu show wich was really awsome Bryan took pics with his camera so one day I will get thosse down loaded so everyone can see them. We also saw a dolphin show and a sea lion show. The shows were a lot of fun. Sea world does have rides there but we didnt get to ride any of them.

DisneyLand Day 1

We left for Disneyland 1 week ago Sunday at 3:00 in the morning I was surprised that we actually got off at the time we were talking about and we arrived in California at about 3:00 in the afternoon and that was with our TomTom taking us on the opposite side of the city were disneyland is. So we got to our hotel and checked in. It was a nice hotel we stayed at the Tropicana the nicest thing about it was it pretty much right across the street from the entrance. My mom and dad were there but hadnt checked in yet so we waited for them to check in and when everyone got checked into the hotel my mom wanted to go to Knottsberry farm to check out the shops. So we went there and walked around. The next morning we woke up bright and early and went over to the park I will have to post our pics of the family later because we ended up getting that on day 3 with my dad's and I believe Amy took a pic also cuase I l eft my batteries at the hotel. We made a deal with Ben that he had to ride every ride that he could go on once and if he didnt want to do it again then he didnt have to. The very first ride was Indiana Jones, Bryan went on it with Ben and me and Beth took Brianna and Taylor to walk up Tarzans tree house. Ben wanted to go on that ride so bad and when he got off it he would not go again so off we went to another ride. Eliza wasnt feeling well that day and she puked during lunchtime it was kind of gross luckily we were all pretty much done with our lunch when she lost her cookies. We also went on the pirates ride that day. Ben and Taylor begged to go on that ride again. One nice thing was since my mom couldnt really walk around the park all day she got a wheel chair adn so we were able to get in the front of the line on some rides so we didnt have to wait at all. We also saw Jasmine and Aladdin and had them sign the books for the kids. Ben said Jasmine was his favorite character. We also took Ben and Taylor on splash mountain and at 1st Ben said he liked it but after a day of thinking about it he totally refused to get back on the ride. So here are some pictures from our 1st day.
