We have been running since we had our kids - in every way! Life is like a marathon - full of uphills and downhills, water stops, taking the time to stretch, beautiful views, fast sprints, slow walks, and yes, sore muscles. But we are thankful for all of it because when we reach the finish line at the end of each day we know that it was all worth it!

This is what dreams are made of...












Between eating Mickey shaped icecream sandwiches, to dinner with Pluto, we were thoroughly enjoying this vacation. Yes, I had to convince Kevin that it was worth tapping into the savings. And yes, it was worth every penny. We went with Kevin's biking friends and their families - friends that are now mine and the kids as well.

October is a great time to go to see Disneyland at Halloween...

The trip consisted of:
1. St. George - we stayed in Julie's big house with all the families
2. American Girl Doll Store in Hollywood
3. Universal Studios
4. Anaheim, CA - Disneyland - 3 day hopper pass
5. San Diego, CA - Sea World
6. The beach
7. St. George
8. Home

My most memorable moments were:
-Hollywood, CA at the Lemon Grove Farmer's Market, eating pizza and donuts - feeling like we were back in the 40's, listening to a senior citizen band
-The beach in San Diego at sunset - the girls doing splits and cartwheels in the leftover sun
-Eating a chocolate dipped rice krispie square on mainstreet in Disneyland while we watched the Halloween night show
-Seeing the girls faces at the American Doll store as they saw all of the dolls and clothes (in real life, not just in the magazine that comes in the mail)
-Kevin walking into California Adventure, hand in hand with our two girls, talking excitedly about what rides they are going to go on first
-Eating cotton candy by Soarin' California
-Walking through Downtown Disney, running into random shops, eating candy (of course)

This is what dreams are made of...
