More Vacations!

Be prepared, we have a lot of catching up to do.  

Here is E cleaning the walls (with Mom's sock) before we start out on our vacations

This was Memorial Day weekend camping with Will and Rosemary.  E had lots of fun eating sticks and finding the best dirt!  

After camping we drove down Schnebly Hill Road.  And these are some of the pretty sights that we saw.

June 5th my dad got baptized :)  So E  and I went to California for a week.  While we were there I saw my long time friend Nora.  And E and I went to my old ranch and E loved the horses.  She even got to touch some and she loved it.

Here is my brother-in-law, Doug, ready to baptize his son, Sterling.  And my brother, David, ready to baptize my dad.

This was dinner for a couple of nights.  Lots of amazing memories shared around big tables like this, and tin foil ball wars too:)

June 17th we went to Disneyland.  This is the Lego store.

 That is one proud Daddy!

 Oh look she's sharing.

Pretty Princess, but the crown never did stay on very well.

 Kids from the crowd got to fight Darth Vader!

We made real good friends with Chip and Dale.

Crazy driver!

YEA!  Snow white's castle!

Next is the Kennedy Space Center!

This full scale Mars rover was built completely out of legos.

 The bottom of a shuttle engine. One of three.

 The Engine part of the Shuttle engine.

 This is the Crawler.  It transports the shuttle onto the launch pad.  It is massive and super slow.  You might notice the tour buses behind it.  Neato!

I just thought this was funny so I took a picture of it.

There's the launch pad way over there.  We were two miles away.

This is the vehicle assembly building.  This is where they put the shuttle and rockets and Saturn V together.

 This is the back end of a Saturn V rocket.

 Daddy and E had lots of fun on the play ground.

 E plays Houston.  In the store we found a shirt that said "Houston we have a problem.

Check the diaper system."  We laughed then put it back.

 Of course we had to go to the beach in Florida and feel the amazing warm water.

 And play in the sand.

 We got very sandy!

And those were our vacations.:)
