Family Vacation to Cali. 2010 in June

After the drive to California from AZ the kids jumped on the bed to rest
Ian did not want to take a picture, can you tell?
True luv ;)

Alana & Melia
Good place for time out, wish I had one of these at my house

Eating breakfast before entering Universal Park, of course cotton Candy was the best part for the kids


Jurassic Park Ride
Watching and waiting for the splash
Any day know the eggs will hatch, but dinosaur Mommy's have to keep a look out for dinosaur thieves that walk around the eggs waiting to steal them
Dinosaur mommy Alana
Watch your fingers, she bites
Ian not too sure about this guy from the mummy
Ian not too happy now
this is the point I found out the van was totalled ;(
Watching the blues brothers show
Alana got picked to go up on stage



After the mummy incident Ian's is watching out for any mummy's in the area and so he sees the one on the stage and does not like.



Strike a pose Alana

Melia and the kids

The cousins
Water world Show




Ian is not excited about the Universal Train ride around the park
There nothing to fear other then
overlooking the city
King Kong village
Jaws
and plane crash scene
see the train ride was not so bad right Ian
Getting eatin by jaws is much scarier then a train ride

Paul Crashed My Van :(-

R.I.P. White mini Van
I was told it was worse then it looked by my mechanic and the insurance people
This is a photo of the criminal in charge of this horrible crime to kill a van. My brother Paul and his little side kick Ian.
How did this horrible crime happen well let me tell you: It was the morning of June 23rd 2010. Daniel and I was leaving to go to doctors appointment and I had my brother Paul babysit the kids while we go. He was planning on going to take them to a movie and lunch, I said no problem. Usually he asks to drive my car but he did not that morning. Then we went out and I wanted to take the van but Dan said no lets take the car to save gas, (later we will regret that choose). So we are in the waiting room and i get a text from Paul that reads " Your going to kill me but we got in an accident but were fine" so I look at it and hand it immediately to Daniel and tell him to deal with it Then Daniel walks out of the office to talk in the hallway, he comes back and tells me that it was our van he crashed and it was his fault by rear ending this guy up by Desert Ridge area. So we finished our doctors visit and went home to look at the damage and to deal with all that crap of insurance stuff. So as you see the damage does not look that bad right, wrong its worse then it looks they all say. Oh did I mention were suppose to leave on vacation tomorrow, the day after he crashed the van. Our insurance has rental coverage and so we had to pick up a rental car and being use to traveling in a van and not a small Toyota Matrix car, we packed light. So we were sure that we would have it fixed but when Daniel was on the Jurassic Park ride in Universal Studios he got the call that said they are totalling the van out and Monday they would have the check ready for us to pick up for our van and that we had 72 hours to bring back the rental, therefore making us get a new car sooner then we liked. So Paul got a ticket, my old van was totaled, we bought a new one and are still dealing with all the insurance crap that goes with an accident. The moral of the story: don't let anyone drive your cars especially Paul who is no longer a good driver in my eyes ;)-

Via Verde Girls Camp 2010

Loading up to go meet the others at the church. Girls camp was from June 8th to the 12th.
Heather & the girls went up for me the first two nights so that I don't have to go 6 months prego camping for 5 days.
1st night devotional and camp fire

I went up and everyone needed to loosen up so I pulled a prank on the girls tent as soon as I got there, I quarantined the girls
free time hanging out
nice and clean the 1st day up there, of course that did not last long
Amanda making bracelets
YCL leaders
We went on a hike with the girls to go find diamond rock in an area known for that which Bro. Price (aka Pierce) had been and the girls were excited about
goofing off before the hike
and were off
Strike a pose girls
Yup I did it too 6 month prego
on this trail we did not find diamond rock but we did find dead cow bones
Walked and walked and walked
the funny thing is I got up this hill better then the girls did, as you see they all had a hard time with it
resting
Alana joined me for girls camp this year for the two nights I went up
Preparing for the rock wall

Amanda climbing the rock wall and Denise repelling down
