Time to go home :(

We got up Thursday around 8 am and he wanted to eat at Denny’s so we went there and had breakfast and then went to California Adventure where we didn’t wait in any lines there either. He was so excited he was tall enough to go on California Screamin', which is the big roller coaster that goes upside down. He thought that was great. He also got to go on the Orange Stinger which is where he sits in a swing and it spins around. This was the first time he was tall enough for that ride also.

The weather was nice for the first part of the day but then it started to rain. But it was not going to deter us from having a good time. We bought rain ponchos and kept on going. It wasn't too bad standing in line in the rain, but when we got on Big Thunder Mountain with it still raining, my face was being pelted by the rain. I did not anticipate that. It was still fun!

Austin missed the girls. Every time he did something, he wanted to call them and tell them how cool it was. He didn’t really know what to do with himself by himself. He decided next time he wanted everyone to come. I had fun with just him. Jason’s mom sent some birthday money just before we left, so he was able to get a new shirt. He wore it as soon as we bought it and then wore it to school the next day. I will have to take a picture.

Strange weather in Southern California that day. As we were driving back to the airport, we heard on the radio that two tornados had touched down east of the airport we needed to get too. Traffic was really slow and I thought for sure we were going to miss our flight. Thanks to the weather, our flight was delayed too, so we made it home save and sound.

We were so tired.

That sounds like a pretty sweet trip. And, no I won't be available to do your garage. Mine is pretty bad too. I told my kids that I was going to overhaul everything in our house in the next few weeks. They weren't happy, but they will be when its done.

Welcome home!
