Rain Happens

Well Disneyland has come and gone. We had a great trip, the only thing was there were a lot of people. We thought the last week of Feb. Would be a good week to go but Monday was Presidents Day in the States and some kids had part of the week off and others had it all off. Our saving grace was something called a fast pass that we got because we were not frequent visitors. We really only stood in line a couple of times and for not more than a half hour. Watching the fireworks and lazer show were however very crowded. Gary, who hates line ups and crowds, did very well, only a little moaning.
The highlight of the week had to be seeing Tianna have scorpions put on her head during a live version of Fear Factor at Universal studios. I was having panic attacks, enough for the both of us. Luke held her hand throughout the ordeal and she had a good grip. He had to spin a wheel to decide if she had scorpions, teranchulas(not sure of the spelling?), a big fat lime green snake, or cock roaches( big ones) put on her.
The twins said the trip was better than they imagined it would be so that is great. As you can see by TaLeahs pic it was exhausting. We walked non stop four 4 days, 2 of those days at least 12 hours. But it was well worth it! Our time a The medieval Dinner was also great. We got a little taste of what it was like to go to a jousting tournament which is cool because we are going to live where they use to do it. We felt we had seen all we could see at Disney and Universal Studios so on Sunday we went to Saddleback Church which is Rick Warrens church. He is the guy who wrote The Purpose Driven Life. We lucked out and he was speaking, he was great. God has given him such a great knack to bring scripture to life and make it relevant. We also went to Rick Schulers church The Crystal Cathedral, not for a service(not really our cup of tea) but to see the buildings and statues, pretty impressive. There is Gary in front of the Protical Son statue. Well overall we had a full experience and are glad we went. Now we must prepare for our big move. I hope our next holiday will be somewhere like Italy!!! Double click on the pics to make them larger. You really should take a look at the scorpions on Tiannas head, there was five!!
