Back in LA for a bit.....

We are currently back in LA getting ready to sail through Europe for the summer. Rehearsals are always hard but being here with our best friend Jesse has been so much fun! We went to see Wicked last week and since Jesse knows some people in the show we were able to go backstage. We even met Megan Hilty who plays Glenda.

Getting ready for Wicked to start with our new friends Heidi and Michael.

Holding up Glenda's gown....it was heavy

Of course Jesse had to try on the crown...we caught him red handed!

Disney World!

We will never forget the screams of joy we heard when we got off the ship and approached the rental vans with all the kids in them. Doug and I literally felt like celebrities and we were so overcome with emotion. We have such a great family and spending a week with (most of) them in the Happiest Place on Earth was a memory we will cherish forever!

Me, Doug and Heather (one of our best friends from the contract) with the kids in front of the ship

Here we are in front of Mt. Everest at Animal Kingdom. I think this was everyones favorite ride. We went on it about five times. It was so much fun!

Me, the Merrills and Katie Bug!

Getting ready to go into the Bug's Life Show.

This was the best vacation we have been on since our honeymoon! ;) We have never felt more loved! I think we're going to have to start inviting ourselves on all family Disney vacations from now on.
