Year of a Million Dreams

So, we just got back from Disneyland again......... We actually met the Nisbets and Lewis' down there for a few days. It was an amazing trip. Of course going with the Nisbets and Lewis' usually is, however we had a once in a life time opportunity this particular trip. Lucy just happened to be sitting in the right spot on the right ride at the right time to be chosen for the Grand Marshall of Disneyland for the day. Being the Grand Marshall comes with some pretty neat perks: Getting front of the line passes for the rides, a special meeting with Mickey Mouse, a Free dinner at the Blue Bayou(which consequently we had just checked for reservations and they had told us nothing was available til after we were gone), getting to ride the double decker bus in the parade and the best of all staying in the Mickey Mouse Penthouse for the evening. Words can not describe the pure enjoyment and overall craziness of the whole thing. Oh, how do we involved........ Seeing how we were one big party, they made accomidations for all of us to participate in the whole thing. It was unbelievable. On top of it all we ran into Jeff and Kate Murray, it was one big reunion. Thanks Lucy, and Thank you to the girl that was speeding so Mark had to go to court on Friday and we were able to be there on Wednesday to take part in all of the excitement!!

Down on the Farm

Tulare has opened us city folk to all sorts of new things.....Today I rode my first 4-wheeler and shot paint ball guns!! These are the kind of youth activities that go on in Tulare. On the drive home we had the windows open and the kids were gagging.. It was quite funny. Anyways, it was a blast. The kids can't wait to go back for more.
