Grizzly Hockey Game

Since buying the Seven Peaks "Pass of all Passes" we are able to attend a few hockey games. This time we decided to go with some friends. Even though we didn't stay the whole time it was still fun and of coarse entertaining.

The Churro Kings!

Valentine's Day

Normally our Valentine's Day or weekend is usually quiet, however with us getting back from Disneyland, it turned into being one busy weekend, but totally worth the busyness.

First off we needed to make Jack a Valentine Box for school for his Valentine Party. Of course he wanted a Star Wars box, so that was the best I could do. I think it turned out cute.

Next Jeremy that silly and sweet Jeremy, got me my favorite flowers...Daisies. We would have to put off our Valentine Date until later due to some close friends were coming into town.

Jon, Lauren, Andrew and Nathan decided to make their way from Spokane back to Utah for a quick trip visit. Although it was definitely not long enough it was well worth it. We got pizza and had a pizza party at our house along with a sleep over.

We got together one last time before they were going to head back home and after of coarse me I have to get a picture of us and I normally pic the time when the sun is shining brightly.

Jon decided to photo bomb our picture.

Love the triple L's!

 

It was a very fun weekend.

Disneyland 2015: Heading Home

Today we head home. I am sad, but also happy. We had to check out of our hotel by 11am, so we took our time. The kids had one last dip in the pool and hot tub. We finished packing, got ready and headed out to breakfast.

After breakfast we headed to Long Beach to just check it out before we had to be at the airport to catch our flight.

We mainly walked down one pier and looked at the scenery. Next time we will have to explore the actual place we fly into when going to Disneyland, LONG BEACH.

Until next time.

Disneyland 2015: Day 5

It was Sunday only one whole day left before we had to head home. We made arrangements to meet up with Dad. We were going to meet in the middle in Santa Barbara. Jeremy and I had never been to Santa Barbara so an adventure we would go.

On the way there Abi fell asleep and pretty much decided to take up most of the back seat. At least she is some what comfortable.

We made it to the cute touristy town by 1 pm and there waiting was Dad and Christine. We parked the car, and decided to head to the pier, but first we walked through the little sand beach section that was between the parking lot and the pier.

It was such a nice sunny day when we arrived and then the clouds decided to roll in trying to make us think that it was going to rain. Not today, the clouds rolled on by and the sun found itself shining down on us.

We were hungry and we found this restaurant at the very end of the pier.

The funny thing was is that they don't have a host/hostess like most restaurants you just go up and write your name on the sign in sheet and wait until they call you.

(above and Below) Panoramic pictures from my phone from the pier.

We spent most of the day on the pier and it started to get late in the afternoon, so we decided to head back to our cars and head our separate ways.

However we couldn't leave with out one more video of the kids and the ocean.

Disneyland 2015: Day 4

Today we headed to Disneyland Park. Yikes it was crowded. Apparently NO ONE was worried about the Measles outbreak. We HAD to start back at Disneyland Park because Jack REALLY wanted to be in the Jedi Training.

 

Of course we HAD to get another picture with Minnie.

Then it was off to Jedi Training. We arrived about a half hour before it started and waited. We had to be in the front so we could make sure Jack got picked. The audience area started to fill up and we were in the perfect spot.

The Jedi training started and Jack and Abi started jumping up and down, waiving their arms and yelling "Pick Me!" The Jedi Master scanned the audience and then started choosing kids to go up onto the stage. One by one kids were getting called we chose kids in our section then moved to the middle and then the far side coming back toward us. Jeremy and I started to get nervous as our kids (or at least Jack hadn't been called). Then all of a sudden Abi got picked. We waited in anticipation on if Jack's name would be called. Jack was jumping up and down, waiving his arms and yelling pick me, pick me. I even started pointing at Jack and yelling Please, please, please and finally Jack was called AND he was the LAST kids to get picked. PHEW!! My adrenaline was pumping.

Both Jack and Abi were last in the line and and they ended up in the same line to fight Darth Vader, however Miss Abi had to fight Darth Maul and so she asked if she could be in the other line and they let her.

 

    

 

 

 In this group Jedi training picture Jack and Abi are on opposite ends of the group. 

We decided to calm ourselves by heading over to the Haunted Mansion. After the ride there was a Photo Pass employee and so we had our picture taken.

 Looks like we picked up a few hitch hikers!!

As we headed back to Fantasy Faire, Cinderella was meeting princesses in the Royal Hall.

There was also Belle...

And Snow White

Of course after meeting them we HAD to get in line to meet Merida.

 

It was so crowded in Disneyland Park that the wait for Pirates was 60 minutes. So we decided to head over to California for one last hooraw. There we ran into Pluto and Goofy. While we were waiting they mentioned that Goofy would be leaving to do his show and as we were slightly bummed he ended up leaving after our photo shoot with him.

 The kids were tired, the parents were tired. We were deciding what we should do when a couple approached us and asked if we were leaving. We said not sure and then they offered this any attraction Fast Pass for up to 6 people.

We needed to check out one more thing before we were done and that was the FROZEN FUN!! They had music playing, employees dancing and trying to get the audience involved. The one thing we ended up noticing was the GIANT Snow Monster from Frozen and we HAD to get our picture taken with him.

 

After the picture with the snow monster, Abi noticed air hockey tables. Jeremy REALLY wanted to ride Tower of Terror, but having Abi go on it was not going to happen. So Abi and I got a Frozen Glow Drink, some tokens and played frozen air hockey while the boys headed for Tower of Terror.

In the end they didn't get a picture because it wasn't Disney Approved. Oh well, next time.

By the end of the day we were dragging our feet and our bodies home to our hotel.
