Disneyland with the Rappleye's




Yet another fun family trip and we were excited to visit the "happiest place on earth!" We had 3 day passes so the fun just never ended! Even with my family trip, we had 15 people and 3 strollers. At least we all had the same shirt on so we could spot each other! (Thanks Chris for designing them) Even strangers could point you in the direction of your family when you all look alike. 

Fun Little Moments...
* Makenna's first ride was Dumbo. I don't know what she was thinking, but mom and dad had a great time trying to capture every moment on camera

* If you go to Disneyland during the week in January (off season), the longest line you will stand in is 20 minutes. Tyler definitely benefited from this!

* Disneyland does carry clothes for 3 month olds. Makenna decided to have a blowout and ruin her clothes, so Grandma just had to find her the cutest princess sweatsuit to keep her warm. I think she just wanted a new outfit!

* "Tower of Terror" was our favorite ride. 

* Ammon and Tyson defeated Darth Maul and Vader after their Jedi training.  

* Makenna was not bothered by "Pirates of the Caribbean," since she slept through the ride twice. 

* We had lunch in the "Pirates" restaurant on the water for Dad's birthday. It was the best food in Disneyland.

* A turkey leg can definitely feed more than 1 person!  

* Rain in California is more enjoyable than snow back home. 

* Kenzie with dance to any music she hears. 

* It helps to see Disney movies in order to understand the rides and attractions - Tyler needs to start watching our collection.

Sleeping In on Saturday


Ty and Makenna were found sleeping in on Saturday. It is sad when the mom is up long before the baby!

Cabo Trip With the Perrys

I thought I would start with the happenings of 2008. At least I only have a month to catch up on! We started this year with a fabulous trip to Cabo with the Perrys. It was quite the challenge to get 15 people around - including 3 babies in strollers. I can't believe that Makenna's first trip was out of the country and she had a passport at 3 weeks of age. 

Great Little moments...
1. Seeing Makenna's cute cubby legs b/c she got to wear summer clothes all week (Thank you Kenzie for lending us you fabulous wardrobe!)

2. Makenna's first swim in a pool. She didn't cry or smile, she just sat there with a blank look on her face - probably thinking it was a little bigger than her bath tub. By the end of the week, she started to splash a little

3. Great family to vacation with. Days were spent at the pool, playing tennis, and of course card games into the late hours of the night!

4. Perfect weather. It only rains 5 days a year in Cabo. We experienced 7 perfect days around 70 - 80 degrees with a slight breeze

5. Great food. The best was Mi Casa -  a place in town that had fabulous seafood and authentic Mexican. 

6. Great exercise. Everything was spread out and you had to go up and down hills. Makenna loved these stroller rides and I got to have a workout during the process. I think she really missed being outside once we came back to winter Utah :(

7. Deap sea fishing is great in Cabo. Just make sure your boat driver remembers to bring the bate. 


The Blog World

Ok - so I finally decided to join all the other bloggers out there. Here are some of the "little moments" of the Perry family.
