Monday, January 10 - We have arrived! Our first day started at California Adventure and what an adventure it was! We learned quickly that it is hard to navigate the park with a large group but it was fun getting to know Amy's clan. It was a group of fun girls and it was non-stop laughter and jokes all day! Around 3:00, we headed over to Disneyland and hit a few rides there before the parks closed. It is always a great time with Liz at Disney but I got 30,000 steps so it's a little exhausting too!
Tuesday, January 11 - Our second day started in Disneyland. Liz introduced us to churro gears for breakfast and they were yummy! We got this fun picture together in front of the princess castle before heading out to do as many rides as we could. Our goal on the rides that take your pictures is to make the ugliest face possible. I have tons of them from the week but this one is my very favorite. I think all four of us hit it spot on! :) Haha!
Wednesday, January 12 - We had half of a day to spend in California before we had to head home so we took full advantage of it. First, we went to Downtown Disney to do some shopping. Then, we hopped in the car and drove to Huntington Beach. We ate lunch at a yummy place called BJ's then walked down to the beach for just a few minutes. We had to leave to head to LAX at 2:00. We were worried about traffic and dropping the car off and LAX being crazy...but it was opposite of what we expected. We got there in about 35 minutes (instead of the 50 we were planning on), dropping the car off was simple, the shuttle to take us to the airport was sitting at the lot just waiting for us, and LAX was really just dead. We made it through security and to our gate with 2 hours to spare! We commented that if we would have known it would go so smoothly, we would have stayed at the beach longer! It didn't matter though, we have fun no matter where we are. What a fun trip and great memories with these ladies! Can't wait for the next trip! :)
Thursday, January 13 - Look what came while I was on my trip! It wasn't supposed to get here until the end of the month so I was shocked that it already came! I love my blog books! It makes it worth keeping up on these posts each week! :)
Friday, January 14 - We were running around all day long so when Zack asked if I could play a game with him, I willingly agreed. :) It took a while but it was really fun to play and spend this time with my main guy! Plus, we are loving our new game, Ticket to Ride.
Saturday, January 15 - A crazy world event happened today. A volcano erupted in the ocean about 40 miles away from Tonga. The explosion reached up to 20 miles in the air and destroyed every home on the nearby Mango Island. They haven't been able to send humanitarian aid because the runway of their main island is covered in up to 4" of ash. It's so sad and they are basically alone out there without help for a couple of days until ships can bring aid. In the meantime, all the Pacific shores are on tsunami watch because the surge could be devastating. Well played 2022, way to show up the last two years!
Sunday, January 16 - Debby Keel did a fun singing time today. She made snowmen out of toilet paper rolls then let the kids throw a ball at them to try to knock them down. The kids loved it and aren't these snowmen so cute?!?
