Father’s Day weekend was our ward camp out. I’m a little behind on reporting on it. Sorry about that. In any case, the camping trip was lots of fun, and I was really impressed by the number of people that came. For the past 3 years I was part of the activities committee, making me […]

Lately Bridget has been climbing up on the weirdest things. I’ve seen her standing on top of her bounce and spin zebra while she holds onto the wall. I’ve found her on top of her bookshelf in her room – trying to look out the window. She regularly tries to hang from the railing on […]

So, we killed our fish. It really was unintentional. And pretty sad. For those of you that don’t know we had 5 (very large) fish in our 44 gallon tank. They were probably all between 6 and 8 inches in length. Two of them – the sucker fish – had been around longer than I […]

Father’s Day

Preparing for Father’s Day, with Bridget, this year was lots of fun. She’s old enough now to express her love for her dad without prompting… and she’s even pretty conscience about what things he likes. One of my favorite things, though, is when she gets excited when he comes home. Her face lights up, and […]

Day 11 (Saturday, May 17th) Homeward Bound. Not much to report here. Our first flight left San Diego at 12:30 in the afternoon… between layovers and time changes we finally made off the airplane in Salt Lake a little after 7:00 at night. It was a long day. First Flight: A funny story… we had […]

Day 10 (Friday, May 16th) Last Day at Disneyland. Friday morning we woke up and headed up toward Disneyland, stopping on the way at the Anaheim Mission Office, to drop off a little note for Elder Hedin. We also hit a couple of Geocaches in the area, and dropped in to Krispie Kreme. Then off […]

Day Nine (Thursday, May 15th) Legoland. Having skipped Sea World the day before I think we would have chosen to go there instead of Legoland, if we hadn’t already purchased our tickets. We learned (through online research) that you can purchase a “BrickMaster” subscription through Lego.com that includes 6 sets of Legos, a subscription to […]

Day Eight (Wednesday, May 14th) Day Eight was supposed to be Sea World. But I woke up that morning not feeling so well. I spent a good part of the morning in the bathroom causing all manner of foul and disgusting smells. Sorry if that’s too much information, but at least you didn’t have to […]

Day Seven (Tuesday, May 13th) Fourth day at Disneyland. We bought a 5-day hopper pass, so we decided to spend some time at California Adventure this time. Bridget met Mrs. Incredible! We actually got in line twice to see her. As soon as it was her turn Bridget asked “Where’s your dad? [Mr. Incredible]” – […]

California – Day 6

Day Six (Monday, May 12th) More Disneyland! This time Jenna joined us. The last time we were at Disneyland (Summer 2005) we decided to try the restaurant that’s inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It’s called “The Blue Bayou.” They had the best Prime Rib we’d ever had. It was only $17… a steal […]
