Wednesday: Our flight there was very nice. Braxton, Asher and I worked on school lessons the entire flight. Tennyson sat with her daddy and she did so well and took a great nap. Whe we arrived we checked into our hotel, went to Chuck and Susan's house and go tour snakes settled into Chuck's workshop. Susan made a delicious spaghetti dinner for all the family.
Thursday: We had a good nice sleep and a freee breakfast at our hotel. Then Chuck rode around with us and Mark showed the children places where he grew up and had a bad bike jumping accident. This was neat because Braxton has taken on the pleasure of riding and jumping with his bike. Later that morning we meet up with Linda, and Madison and went to the Steven Birch Aquarium.

Friday, we had breakfast with Linda and Deb at my favorite restaurant Park House Eatery...I dream of the food prepared from this place...DELICIOUS!!! That afternoon we drove up to Anaheim in 6 lanes of weekend traffic to load in for the NARBC Reptile Show. To see images from the show please see our snake blog: http://sandboamorphs.blogspot.com/
Here is a picture of Mr. Chuckles holding Tennyson before we left for Anaheim.
Nana Susan made this blanket and pillow for Tennyson.
Saturday, Susan took the kids to the park until the rest of the family came up to meet them. Also, thank you Susan for taking the majority of the pictures on this post.
After the Reptile Show we went back to the hotel and found everyone having fun swimming.
We all got ready and Brenda took us on a great tour of Downtown Disney. It is a fun, free admission Disney experience. You have to admit that it would be awesome to live near something as cool as this.
Sunday, Mark and I worked the second day of the Reptile Show and the family visited Disneyland.
Thank all of you who carefully watched our children so we could work the reptile show!
Monday, we got up and drove to see where Mark lived in Pacific Beach when I first visited CA. We ate at the Firehouse Cafe..the kids loved watching the firetrucks as well as the surfers and strolling along the boardwalk.
Here are three pictures of the kids in the cockpit...the female pilot approached us and asked if she could take them into the cockpit andtake there picture. They LOVED this Delta experience.
To our California family and friends we love you and anticipate seeing you again!
