My happy place, continued!

So I'm sure you are all waiting with baited breath on pictures of our recent trip to Disneyland. Well.......you'll have to wait a bit longer. My sweet husband is the only one who can download the pictures on to the computer. He shows me each time, but if I don't do it everyday all the information and instruction is gone, by the next day! I'd like to blame him and on and on, however, we need to feel sorry for him instead because he's has to deal with me and my "techno-not" brain. I can prattle off phone numbers of anyone, even as far back as my best friend in first grade. I can also program the old VCR's to record or set the blinking time. But something simple, I'm sure, is too much! So in the meantime, be patient, like my husband is with me, and soon the ever anticipated pictures will be posted. Here's a hint, though, of how the trip went...... I didn't want to come home!!!

My Happy Place



















The title is a hint of one of our absolute favorite places to go. We have the Disney park entirely memorized to make for very efficient planning and crowd avoidance. And now that Dalin is a bit taller he'll pretty much be able to go on every ride and Christian and I won't have to take turns sitting out...that's if Dalin can let go of his stubborn side and enjoy the process of doing something new. He is very much a planner! I don't know where he gets it :) My sweet and wonderful, and most amazing parents ( yes I'm buttering them up) will be watching Jin Ji and Sumi for us. This will bring their total dog population to 3, with 2 only being 6 months old. All I can say is I love you both, and will return the favor ANYTIME! The boys will miss some school, but this is also in the planning. This way it's not spring break when EVERYONE goes. I am soooo excited! I have memories of riding on Small World with my parents when I was just 2. I was always fascinated by the dolls. And since then, my memories of that song have been sweet. My dad and I used to listen to my Small World record (yes, I said record to date myself) when The Wizard of Oz was on. I hated the wicked witch of the west and so my dad would take me into the back bedroom and there he and I would sit and listen to it and look and the book it came with over, and over. My cell phone also plays it when you call me. I do love all the rides and just the atmosphere of being at The Happiest Place on Earth, but Small World is my Happy Place.
