"Not-Back-To-School" Celebration


What better way to celebrate NOT going back to school than to go to
DISNEYLAND!!!!
What a blast! A & B are both tall enough now to go on all the rides!

We had just gone to DisneyWorld about 2 years ago and poor B was still too small to do much of anything. She's also a little speed-demon, so "It's a Small World" was not cuttin' it!
Amazing what a couple years will do! Space Mountain, Big Thunder, Splash Mountain...even the Haunted Mansion. She covered her eyes through much of it, but at least she conquered her fear!!!

My "new" Uncle Jim (birth-family) works there. He does a show and we started the day by seeing that. He even got A & B to go up on stage and be part of the show! We took pictures with Mickey and Cinderella afterwards. It was really a special moment to see the kids on stage at Disney, where I used to work! WITH MY BIRTH-UNCLE!!! It almost brought me to tears.

It's been strange, but in a good way, how things are coming full circle. This has been quite the "trip" so far:)

HomeSchool Update: Yesterday we read a chapter in a Childcraft book, Places to Know.
We also watched the movie, National Treasure. What a great movie!!! It's totally sparked an interest in American History! I see a unit study in our future.
