Walking to our gate
First time in his own seat!
Tyson is not sure about this whole flying thing
We had never been to Dave and Michelle's so we were all excited to see where they live. We arrived late Saturday afternoon and talked, played, relaxed, and ordered take out from Olive Garden...it was great! I can't say enough about Charlie...he's precious. What a wonderful addition to the Sanderson and Dascenzi families. Dave and Michelle are very blessed. I can't wait to see and hold him again!

We went to church on Sunday and it was fun to see some friends we hadn't seen in a while. After so much traveling we all took naps Sunday afternoon...however Dave and Travis went and played Basketball.
On Monday Dave, Travis, and my Dad went on a bike ride with David and Cameron Corrozza. They had a great time..but were completely worn out when they got home :) They topped off their expedition with a trip to a chinese buffet and a western wear store- I know, sounds odd. I was just glad they took Rex with them :) I wanted to hit up the great outlets I had heard so much about, so my Mom and I headed over that way and Michelle stayed home with Charlie and Tyson- she was very brave :) I had a great luck at the outlets, finding Tyson some more summer clothes- the little tank won't stop growing!

Monday night was bitter sweet- Uncle Dave cooked us hamburgers on the grill and we all played for the last few hours we were there. We got up early Tuesday morning to head back down to Orange County. Rex was looking forward to playing with Maggie.

Hard to believe they are 3 months apart...David and Goliath!
Wednesday was a down day for us- we needed it after all the traveling on the plane and in the car. The kids played inside and out and had a great time. It was a lot of fun to watch Maggie and Rex. They really interacted a lot on this trip- sometimes good...sometimes bad :) but all-in-all they were pretty cute to watch.

We all got up on Thursday and went to DISNEYLAND!!!
The whole gang minus my parents...what a crew!
Waiting for the tram...
...on the tram!
Wow! What a day! We had a great time really. The kids did great and we were all glad to go home :) I'm kidding...sort of :) Rex and Maggie rode on Peter Pan with Travis and Kody. Rex liked it...he didn't seem all that impressed though. Maggie screamed the entire ride. We all then went on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Rex again did not seem that impressed, but thought it was neat to turn the stearing wheel on the car. We got on the carousel next...Rex does not like them. We sat on a bench.

After that the kids all fell asleep, so Katelyn, Kody and Jenny, and Travis and I went on Space Mountain. Mom and Dad sat with the kids...all sleeping in strollers :) They have completely re-done that ride since I've been there last- which has been at least 4 years. It was a lot of fun! It seemed to go a lot faster than it did before and it's compeletely dark in there...very fun. Travis and I bought the pic- we couldn't resist. It was hilarious. After that we all went on Pirates of the Caribbean. Everyone enjoyed that ride and it felt good to be inside in the air conditioning.

We need a break..snacks and milk please!
We promised Rex he could ride on the train, so Travis, Rex, Me, and Tyson, and Kody and Maggie decided to take the train to the front gate and meet everyone there to go home. Sounds simple, right? Well, the train had some sort of delay so it took about 20 minutes for us to even leave the station. Rex was getting restless. Once we finally took off it was great to have the breeze and Rex really liked to go through the tunnels. All-in-all it was a great trip to Disney :)
...PATIENTLY...waiting for the train
...finally!
That evening Kody and Travis went to a business meeting and Jenny, me, and my parents got all the kids to sleep :) At around 10pm Jenny and I left the house and met Kody and Travis back at Disneyland where we spent the next 2 hours riding Splash Mountain over...and over...and over again! We had a blast and topped the evening off with some great ice cream.
Friday was another play day at my parents house and Great Grandpapa Newell came over for dinner :) He watched the kids play outside as they ran circles around all of us. Where do they get so much energy!

On Saturday Travis, me, and Tyson went to the Oakley plant in Foothill Ranch and replaced our sunglasses :) The factory is really modern and industrial...hard to describe, but not warm inside at all. Anyway, the rest of the fam went to Irvine Spectrum to go ride on the carousel, eat lunch, and ride on the polar express train! Travis, Tyson, and I met up with them later. We decided to get some shopping done on this trip, so we hit up Macy's. We always have good luck there. Travis, Tyson, and I continued shopping and the rest of the fam went home for naps and play. That evening we went to hang out with our friends Paul, Tracy, and Russell Ventura. We had a great time visiting with them and watching all the kids play together.
Quesadilla anyone?
Train time! All aboard!
I guess he likes the carousel with his Papa!
How does this thing work anyway?
On Sunday Rex started running a fever...of course the day before we leave...so he stayed home from church with Tyson and I. We pretty much just had another down day. I went to church that night with Tyson and it was great to see all of our friends again.
Rex started feeling better around 10pm that night so we let him play...he really liked to dress up in Maggie's rain boots!
Monday we packed up and cleaned up and played until we had to leave that afternoon. We had such a great trip and we can't wait til we can all be together again...hopefully really soon!!!
