Apartment Hunting

It's time for another road trip to Logan. The goal for this trip is finding Reganne someplace to stay for her next adventure. But first we need food.

Someone's feeling fiesty today!!

Maddox's is the place to visit for lunch.
My favorite was the rolls with rasberry butter.

The first place is across
the street from the school. The downside
there are railroad tracks between them.

We needed a break with some ice cream.
You must have Bear Lake Raspberries!!
I ate the whole thing.

It's official!!
Reganne will start school in August.

The trip was successful!! She found a place a little farther from campus without the train right outside her windows. Before you know it we will be moving her across the state. She has big adventures ahead of her.

The Rollercoaster

Mom, let's ride the Go Go Coaster? This is one ride I have never wanted to ride. Not only does it go upside down and sideways but really, really fast. Dave declined to go with him. I took walk over to the exit and noticed people of a certain age getting off. They didn't look too bad and nobody was carted off on a stretcher. I need to be more adventurous so here goes.

Before
and not a half bad picture.

Next in line.

Rylee standing by 
hoping that everyone survives.

I DID IT!!
and survived.
However, I won't be doing it again anytime soon.

Fun memory and one not soon forgotten. Lesson learned that you are never to old to try something new. Sometimes you have to get out of your way and enjoy. The best part is that I surprised everyone else.

Senior Trip - California Adventure

Good Morning!! We are ready for another fun filled day in California Adventure.

Headed to the park
Homeless lady yelled at Dave & Ryder
claiming she had a gun. We quickly walked away and left
her still yelling.

Cars Ride
First ride of the day. To avoid the long line forming.
We quickly moved to the single rider line.

Fun Time

We found Mater

Matching Luigi shirts

Our influencer giving instructions
for a better picture.

New Avengers Land
We unknowly walked into a a street show.
Kind of lame.

Waiting for another show
for Spiderman.

This one was a little better
Until we figured out that all the flips and turns
were done by a robot of some sort.

Rylee & Riley


Let's ride the Pixar Pal Around Ferris Wheel
Who wants the moving gondola?

Not us!!
The wait was almost an hour longer.
We were starving and needed to pick up our Barilla Tacos (Amazing)

Headed out!!

It was chilly again or rather I was freezing. A quick stop for sweatshirt helped for the walk back. Not sure it was worth the $60 price tag. It did keep me warm. Everyone is tired and ready to maybe get some sleep.

Senior Trip - Disneyland

We are off to Disneyland for Ryder's Senior Trip. 

Wait a minute...Isn't it June?

Yes, that's ice on the window.
We finally made it and the weather is much better here.

Influencer Roo

Sunglasses all around.
We need to work on our smiles.

Star Wars Land
Not what I imagined

Busted!!
Star Wars Hat that he just couldn't pass up.
He disappeared and this is where we found him.

Pocahontas
She was the only princess we found today.

Have we rode this before?

I don't think so.
It amazes me that we can still find new stuff to do
after so many visits.

We are all on the submarine
ready to find Nemo.

Love her shorts and all the ruffles.

That's a wrap for our first day. Everyone is exhausted and ready to crash at the hotel. Tomorrow is another adventure at California Adventure.

Summer Vacation Time

Hello June!! It's time for some fun and what better fun than traveling. Reganne bought tickets for another K-pop concert in Los Angeles. Her friends were unable to join her so she asked Ryder to go. He was all for getting out of town and having some fun. He made all the travel plans and they were off.

The stadium is filling up.

Lunch at the airport
Remember the last trip to London
We ate here.

I am at home baking of course
Yummy banana muffins.

The kids had fun on their quick trip. Ryder even enjoyed the concert experience. The music wasn't half bad either.

It's great to see them have fun together.

Odds & Ends of May

Fun snaps from a busy month.

I spy a Raggedy Ann
Who do you know that would want this for their collection?
Not Rylee that's for sure.
A picture is good enough for me.

Shutterfly Memory
Reganne & the Pink Pirates Soccer Team
They all look so little.

Ranger aka "Swiffer"
If only he would lay still while I pull him around the tile.

Ryder's final yearbook

FOUND!!
Picture was in with the juniors.

Grease Monkey Parking Lot
Waters' cars all in a row
Truck, PT Cruiser, Camry, and the Monte Carlo
I bet my driveway looks pretty empty right now.

Free Smoothie Day
This is the right size for me. 
Too bad they don't actually sell this size.
Nice treat for a warm spring afternoon.

Family Night
@ Tuachan watching Little Mermaid
Good show made even better with $20 seats.

Back in Hollywood
Ryder was a good sport going with Reganne to another K-Pop Concert 
in LA. This bench/couch is a perfect place to take a quick nap in the sun.

It's been a wild and crazy month with so many life changing events. The kids are growning up and spreading their wings. This momma is cheering from the sidelines and trying not to be one of those helicopter moms. Not sure if I'm suceeding or not.

Look Who Is Having A Birthday

 
Miss Indy turned 3 years old
Mr. Ranger is 1 years old

Food!!
Ranger can see, smell food from a block away.
Mom!! Please!!

All 4 trying to sit still
long enough for Rylee to set the hot dogs down.
The food only lasted 10 seconds.
Old man Dexter was able to get a few bites.

Outside for another treat
frozen duck necks.

Ranger was in heaven
Dexter & Piper took a few licks and walked away.

Yard update
The rock is spread.
They have done so much work and it shows.

Fun to take a break and celebrate these crazy puppies. Here's to another year full of adventures, treats, and sleepovers.
