So much fun in "So-Cal"

We got back a few days ago from spending four days together in Southern California. What a blast we had together. In fact, we couldn't help but lounge around the day after we got home because of having vacation withdrawals. It's hard to come back and get back in the swing of things, doing your own laundry and picking up after yourself, and cooking, when on vacation it's all done for you! But-we'll make it through. Next week this household will be in tiptop shape again. I hope. We spent one day at Disneyland. Other than the massive crowds and 1 1/2 hour wait times, we all enjoyed ourselves. Brent really liked the rides, I liked watching the parade and seeing the disney characters (I might be a little girl at heart because I just love the disney princesses!), and Brookie enjoyed being outside and being held in the bjorn all day!

At the front of the park ready to have.. FUN!

Beauty and the Beast at the parade of dreams.

Brooke on Roger Rabbit's wild ride. This was the look on her face the whole time. The ride operator said to us as we got on, "does she fit the height requirements?" We said, "uh.. yep!" Who knows if she really did.

Worn out!

Waiting and waiting in line. But we got a fast pass for this one so it wasn't too bad!

Waiting in line for Pirates of the Carribean. If you click on this pic to enlarge, you will notice that Brent tanned in one day and I am still so white. It is just not fair!

Brooke loved the jungle cruise! I had forgotten that the ride operaters are pretty funny on this one.

Oh, and here is Britney (simply put-love this girl!) and me at WICKED!! Her husband is also in the M.B.A. program at Cal and we spent a few hours at the beach that morning with them. Brent coordinated with her and she got the tickets for us. Brent surprised me with the best birthday surprise ever!! Please go to this play if you have a chance. And if you go, please call me. I would fly anywhere to go again.

Brooke's first time swimming. She actually whined for a good ten minutes before she decided she liked it. Then, she was happy as a clam.

We also went to Newport Beach. Brent dipped her toes in the water and she screamed! Can't blame her.. it was absolutely freezing.

She loved playing in the sand and did get pretty dirty. Oh how it would be to live by a warm beach and go every day! We had some serious good times during Spring Break of '08. Ok-back to life, back to reality!
