To .... Remembering Vacations -




We start with this picture for no other reason than it was the very first picture on the camera.
Air heads are a treat.
So are vacations.

I left work & responsibility at home tonight.
Except for the kids .... I didn't leave them alone.
Life seems heavy.
Cancer & chemo & miscarriges .... friends are hurting.
So we hurt too.

School has been a beast.
How in the .... am I suppose to do it??

..... start sermon to myself ......

Stop trying.
Jesus is enough.

..... end sermon.


In happier news .....
Little Mr. Anderson was born this week.
It's the first of October.
Chad still sees me as his entire world.
And I went to bed before midnight last night.

 So I'm going back it time - a whole week.
I want to remember all sorts of everything from last week.
Time to blog :)


As a family we hadn't taken a vacation quite like this one.
The 2 of us have gone away.
Camping doesn't count :)

This was the real deal.
Hotel.
The whole week off.
Kids out of school.
Really leave town.

Dude, we were going to Disneyland.
All the kids.
Grandma & Grandpa.
Amie was flying out.

3 day hopper pass.
Reservations at the fancy restaurant.
Autograph books packed.

We scored deals on thrifted Mickey shirts & princess dresses .... and bought airheads.

The anticipation was crazy.



Rex showed him the 9 dot puzzle on the way down .... he worked for hours trying to figure it out.





I think one of the biggest treats was the 2 days we had before Disneyland.
Where we ordered pizza to our room at 9pm & jumped on hotel beds.

Regs won her daddy in a mean game of war.
We slept on the hide a bed couch & watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
We didn't have to be anywhere in the morning.

We ate breakfast at the hotel & were at the beach by 10.

still trying to figure it out -

Tough life going from the ocean to the hotel pool :)

That night ....




These sweatshirts used to be ours ... way back in 1980 something. Mom saves those sort of things :)
We walked to Downtown Disney.
Just to sniff the magic.

Full on Disney coming in the next post!
