A couple of weeks ago, I got ran away from this weather for a few days and hung out in sunny California. I could make you all jealous by saying that the weather was fairly warm, I got to hang out on the beach, and I got to visit the Mouse for a few days. But it wasn't without our share of adventures. While we were messing around on the beach, the keys to our rental car jumped out of Joseanne's pocket and somehow washed away in the ocean. We were lucky that her parents were there and were able to help us get another rental car while the first one was sent to a locksmith to make a new key. I hope that is one adventure that I will never have again. As for the rest of the trip....Well let me show you.
This picture was taken while we waited for the new Finding Nemo submarine ride. Needless to say, it is not one of my favorites; but it was definitely worth the experience.
We were crazy enough to go to the Princess breakfast at Ariel's Grotto. We felt right at home.
This is where we stayed in Newport Beach. We walked down to the beach several times, and even had Coconut Macademia Pancakes at their restaurant/bungalow right on the beach. It was a lot of fun!
I've been lucky enough to live in such a great ward. We've done a lot of fun these for the six months that I've lived there. One of our great activities was a couple of weeks ago at Soldiers Hollow. We got to go sledding for a couple of hours. It was really, really, really cold, but I loved it! I got thrown into the tubes a couple of times (as you can see....), but I still had a great time. I have to admit that I didn't win any of the races, but I came pretty darn close!
Kellie was nice enough to lend me her hot snowpants and coat, so that I wouldn't look like a dork!
Another one of our activities was ice skating at the Peaks Arena. I haven't skated in years, so I got up my courage for the activity and actually did really well. I didn't even fall once! I think I've found a new hobby. Well.....we'll see about that. I'm not sure I liked it that much!
