Disneyland in August

We normally don't go to Disneyland in August because we think it will be crowded, but it was my friend's birthday and we upgraded our passes to be able to go in the summer. So we headed down to Disneyland to spend 2 days. We finally tried Nemo because it was less than an hour AND Seth said he would try it! He loved it! We had a great day and were surprised at how short the lines were. Our dad came and met us for dinner at Cafe Orleans. We had never eaten there but we knew they had the Monte Cristo sandwich, my mom's favorite!!! They also had french fries YUM!! The next day was hot but it didn't slow us down. We hit all our favorite rides and even tried the new Toy Story Mania! FUN!!! My mom and I also went on the ferris wheel and picked the swinging car. I thought we were going to go upside down and freaked out. We were so tired by the end of the day, our feet hurt and we were ready to get home! Seth said, "my feet don't hurt!" It makes a big difference when you get to ride in the stroller most of the day. We can't wait to go again in October.

What a catch!

Seth saw a guy in our ward catch a lizard with some long grass when we went hiking a few months ago. He saw a lizard on our back wall the next week and was determined to catch one. We got out the dental floss and made a slip knot. But we never saw a lizard at the right time and so the dental floss was left on the counter for a few weeks. Then on the last day of school we were going to get in the car and a lizard was hanging out by the garage door. I was afraid I would run over it when it ran under my car, so the kids watched as I backed out to make sure he didn't dart in front of the wheels. The lizard wasn't very afraid of us, so I ran in and got the "leash". Seth was so proud and wanted to keep it. I told him he had a family and they would miss him :) The second picture is of a smaller lizard also hanging out by our garage, he was easier to catch, so Seth just picked him up! Seth the lizard catcher!
