A Thursday Night Game
I don’t like Thursday night games as a general practice but it’s fun to have one every once in a while. The main problem with weekday games is traffic. On a Saturday game I leave 1.5 hours before kickoff and usually have plenty of time to spare – time to see the band march up… Continue reading A Thursday Night Game
We’re Puzzled
Nancy and I have been working on a 5000 piece puzzle for a couple of months now. We worked on it here and there whenever we got a little free time. Unfortunately, small kids and 5000 piece puzzles don’t mix together very well. We would often catch Samuel and Diana playing with the puzzle pieces… Continue reading We’re Puzzled
Halloween
The wierd thing about this Halloween was the fact that daylight savings time hadn’t ended yet. This means that it was still broad daylight when the earlybirds came trick-or-treating at 5:00. I hate daylight savings. I wish Utah would join Arizona and Hawaii and not have daylight savings. This year was Nancy’s turn to take… Continue reading Halloween
Carving Pumpkins
It’s the Monday night before Halloween. What should we do for Family Home Evening? Why, carve pumpkins of course! The girls are old enough to carve their own pumpkins without us worrying too much about them cutting off their fingers. Thus, my role is now limited to gutting the pumpkins. Fortunately, this is a duty… Continue reading Carving Pumpkins
California Vacation – Day 6
Today was our last day at Disneyland. After spending three full days there I can honestly say that I’ve had my fill of Disneyland for this decade. We wanted to get to the park early so that we could get on the Finding Nemo ride without too much of a wait. Well, it turns out… Continue reading California Vacation – Day 6
California Vacation – Day 5
Today we started out at Calfornia Adventure. The last time we came most of the rides were closed because it was raining. This time the weather was perfect and we ended up having a really great time. We started off in the “bug” section which has lots of little rides that diana would like such… Continue reading California Vacation – Day 5
California Vacation – Day 4
Today we did our first day at Disneyland. For me the fun of Disneyland starts with watching the excitement of the kids as we pull into the parking garage. They get increasingly excited as we board the tram and go in the front entrance. No matter how many times you’ve been to Disneyland, it’s always… Continue reading California Vacation – Day 4
California Vacation – Day 3
We considered going to Disneyland today but it was going to be hot so we decided to make today our day for going to the Getty Museum and the beach. The Getty Center (I think it’s officially known as “The Getty”) was about an hour away. We figured it would be a fairly small art… Continue reading California Vacation – Day 3
California Vacation – Day2
The least crowded days at Disneyland are supposed to be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday so we figured we would spend the first full day of our vacation just relaxing. The plan for this morning was to sleep in, hang out, and go swimming. The reality was fairly close to the plan with the exception that… Continue reading California Vacation – Day2
