We weren't as young as we thought we were.

We (Rusty, Carianne, Lorinda, Matthew, Jeff, Brenden and I) decided it would be a good idea to travel to CA and go to Disneyland after Gregg and Rachael's reception. This was my brother Jeff's idea because you get in free on your birthday. Lorinda and Matthew were nice enough to drive their motor home so we all piled in about 10:00PM to start the journey. Kate and Emmie decided they were too young for Disneyland so they stayed behind with Grandpa and Grandma Clawson.

We found out very quickly that we are not as young as we once were. What made us think that we could drive all night and then stay the whole day at Disneyland? We didn't quite make it all the way and had to make a nap stop in a Walmart parking lot around 3:00AM.


Here is the Birthday Boy with Woody.



It was actually really cold and Lorinda being from Phoenix only owns flip flops. She decided to buy a pair of socks and wear them under her flip flops. We made her walk 10 feet behind all of us. We also gave her a new nickname: Sandy (short for Sandal).



Here is the gang in front of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Boy, was it wild.



Brenden actually really likes Small World though he won't ever admit it to you.



Although we are totally old and had to take an afternoon nap in the motor home around 4:00PM we had a really fun time. Thanks for the great birthday party Kevin. . . I mean Jeff. (Jeff wore a birthday button around that said Kevin. Obviously the guy at the ticket counter didn't ask if he went by Kevin)

Really?! You can get in free on your birthday! What sort of verification do they ask for?
