Vacation Days

I posted our vacation pics, but didn't write anything about our trip. It was so great to get away and spend some time together as a family. Carson got so used to having Tim around last week that when he woke up Monday morning he was mad that Daddy was at work. Needless to say we had a blast despite the below 70 degree weather while there. I think Tim and I took the bad Utah weather with us. The week prior to us going it was apparantly 102 degrees. I'm glad we threw a couple jackets in last minute...you know, just in case. We didn't, however, throw in long pants.

We stayed at Tim's sister, Angie's house and got to know her new puppy, Trixie very well. It actually turned from Angie's house, to Trixie's house in Carson's eyes. When we first arrived, we mostly just had some R & R time. We spent some time with Vic for the first couple of days and met up with Deb for the Dodgers game as well. We had all forgotten our jackets that night and about froze. After a Carson meltdown, we left during the 7th inning stretch. It was fun while it lasted. :)

We then spent 2 days at Disneyland/California Adventure and went on about every ride in Fantasyland, plus the kid rides in the rest of the park. The lines weren't bad at all. I think the longest line we stood in was for Peter Pan and that was only 30 minutes. Even Splash Mountain was only 10-15 minutes. Tim's sister, Angie, came with us both days so that was fun to have her there. We were able to trade a few times so we could ride some of the bigger rides that Carson can't quite go on yet. He was tall enough to go on Matterhorn, which shocked me. Ya, not sure he knew what to think of that one. I had forgotten how fast and jerky that one was. I was ready for it to be over long before it was. I just held his head tight against me so it wouldn't flop all around, the poor thing.

I am now currently coping with the post vacation blues, I believe Carson is as well. He's been having meltdown after meltdown this week so I hope we'll survive. Tim is back to the daily grind of work and school. Only, the next 4 weeks are going to be extra brutal, he has class M-Th instead of just Tues. and Thurs. We're already looking forward to the next vacation that we can take, which will most likely be up to Oregon to visit family (and of course our famous, Ensign friend, Ayda). Anyone up for a roadtrip to Oregon this summer? :)
