Chasing Ducks . . .

Last Monday we took the boys to the BYU Botanical Gardens and let them feed the ducks. Even though there are pictures of Richard chasing the poor birds with a rock in hand we promise that no animals were harmed on our excursion.

Run for your life

"I wonder if these ducks would like this rock?"

Finally

We are back and since a week has passed since coming home I thought it was high time to get some pictures up. This is what blogs are all about right? So the trip was great. We went with our good friends Ted and Leslie and had a blast soaking up the sweet rays of the California sun. A big thanks to my Dad and Terri for coming to Utah and watching Adam and Richard. The boys had almost as much fun as we did. We did get an interesting phone call from Dad on the day before we went home. Adam had put a lego up his nose and it wasn't coming out. So after a trip to the InstaCare they found this little lego had a companion which was even farther up his nose and required a trip to the ER because they had to use a special tool to get it out. Thankfully they all survived the experience and we have been rounding up all the "little parts" around the house. So life after vacation is no picnic. After two days back I was so annoyed with myself because I was constantly nagging the boys and wishing I was back on the beach. Well, once things settled down and the boys adjusted back to having Mama home it has been much better. So my words of advice: If you can get away on a little Va Kay. Do It!!!

The final shots

Just about to leave Disneyland.
Splash Mountain. I must say Space Mountain was one of my favs. We didn't do California Adventures because we didn't think we would have enough time to do both. I kinda wish we would have. DL was fun, but I was in the need for speed and Mr Toad's wild ride just wasn't doing it. I was surprised at myself since I am a professed big roller coaster avoider. Next time.
We caught Mickey right before the parade started. Dan wanted me to pose with the big mouse, but I just couldn't do it. Yeah I was a touch embarrassed to stand next to Mickey mouse. sad
A shot of Dan at Martha's in Hermosa Beach. Banana Pancakes and stuffed french toast. I want to live on vacation!
