Memories of LA

Playing two truths and a lie once we got stuck in classic LA traffic to pass the time. It worked. Walter is a fantastic story teller (stuff you wouldn't believe any of it could be true) and Joab is a good bluffer and Emily has a totally creative streak when it comes to these stories. I played alright, considering I was the one driving!

Not being able to snack at all in George's truck (nonetheless, thanks for letting us take such a cool ride to LA); a tricky proposition for a toddler and a 4 year old.

Walter spending almost 8 hours by himself at Disneyland and California Adventure, but sure getting a lot out of his entrance fees. He made it on almost every ride!

Going with Miriam on her first roller coaster ride (Matterhorn Bobsleds---no comment---) and Asa on his first non-roller coaster ride (Storyland Canal Boats).

Squeals of excitement from Miriam and Asa!

My mom and dad taking the kids home so the big kids could enjoy the park, which we did to the fullest extent possible. We closed the park down at 12:02 am and didn't get home until nearly 2 am. Having left the house at 7:15 am, that made for a long day. But it was totally worth it.

Playing on Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters (the coolest ride at Disneyland) twice with no waiting either time. Joab beat Walter and Emily and I were pretty far behind.

Getting no more than 6 hours of sleep for 3 days in a row...

Having so many questions that only wikipedia could answer.

Taking the driving tour of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica on a gorgeous Saturday and really getting to enjoy the experience (even with the crazy ex-Californian tour guide/driver---me!).

Missing Geo was no fun :(

And so much more. Enjoy the pictures.
