We had a wonderful week at Disneyland. It was perfect we left early Monday and Tara, Tate, Owen and myself drove the whole way to San Diego. It was long but we fared ok. The next morning we went straight to Sea World. Grandma's favorite spot. Tara kind of hung with Owen and I ran all around with Tate and had a blast.

Then we drove up North on Highway one and enjoyed a beach in Carlsbad. I became very homesick this day - it brought many memories back from college. I am sure Tara was bored with my memories. I had a lot of fun in college.

Tate was so consumed with getting water from a wave and pouring it on the sand. I think he did it fifty times. What ever turns him on!

We drove in Wednesday night to Anaheim and decided to start Disneyland on Thursday. Tara and Tate ran and ran and ran. I enjoyed the grandma role. I kept Owen out of the sun and let at least a hundred people woo and ah at him on Main Street. I even bought him mini mouse socks which everyone laughed at- but he did win cute baby award for the day. I had so many workers come up and say I choose one baby a day to remember and enjoy and he is mine today. The mini mouse socks were a hit!! (I did cut the ribbons off to save his masculinity!)

The First Stop was Breakfast with Mickey. It was pricey but fun!

Dale, Sara and Ashley flew down and spent the weekend with us at Disneyland. It was great, and perfect amount of time for Dale. Dale loved it. Tate was so cute at Raintree Restaurant he just could not wait to show them all disneyland.

Dale's favorite was Mater of course.

We came home Sunday really late. We went one week before Tate's birthday on purpose to save money so we came home just in time to celebrate it with a Buzz Light Year birthday party. Tate first wanted a gun birthday so Uncle Cody showed up with a special present right from Cabela's Tate had to be persuaded to keep opening the other gifts. But Creed his cousin made sure the gun kept being noticed.
