I've been working on a Segullah post for tomorrow, and completely spaced posting here. (Also, after last week I kind of feel like I hit my picture posting quota for the month).
So you'll have to make do with a very short post. We're all healthy and happy here--Dan in particular is happy to be done with coordinating the junior high/high school science fair at SUU, which has occupied his spare time for the last week. The kids are adjusting back to normal routines and Andrew continues to read rapaciously--seriously, we went to the library on Monday, by Tuesday he'd read the 10 nonfiction books he checked out (most are, I think, on at least a 3rd grade reading level) and he insisted we go back Wednesday. He's been pestering me all weekend to go back to the library.
The bibliovore in me loves that he loves books so much. The mom in me who also needs to get other things done has to sigh a little.
Before I close, I have to share a funny story from this week.
Andrew was talking to Evelyn (as he sometimes does) about having a baby brother in heaven (something he also told his kindergarten class when I was volunteering there on Friday--maybe we need to talk about appropriate sharing!), courtesy of our miscarriage last winter.
Then he said, "Evelyn, did you know that you have thousands of brothers?"
Evelyn's eyes got really big. "I do? Where?"
I said, "Yes, Andrew--where?" (I thought he was still talking about brothers in Heaven and couldn't figure out where the number was coming from--I'm certainly not planning on thousands of babies).
"All over! Everyone on earth is your brother or sister. We're all children of Heavenly Father."
Funny kid. Although probably it's billions, not thousands.

Spring Break: Days Four-Six
Our days at Disneyland sort of blur together, so rather than giving a day-by-day report, I'm just going to hit on some highlights.
Andrew's favorite rides were, not surprisingly, roller-coasters: he liked Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain a lot.
Evelyn's favorite rides were a bit more eclectic. She really liked the "whale ride" (i.e. the Storybook canal, where you ride in boats past miniature sets of Agrabah, Cinderella's castle, etc.) and the Mad Hatter Tea cups. But she also loved this ride in Disney California called Jumping Jellyfish--essentially, you go straight up in the air, then bounce up and down several times (a modest freefall, but a freefall nonetheless. I was not a fan.) After her first time, she announced that it was a "completely awesome fun ride."
The kids also both liked the adventure play grounds--Andrew really wanted to get his "wilderness badge" at the Disney California Redwood challenge (he earned it, but we opted not to go to the "ceremony" because it was pouring rain the last day). I wasn't as big a fan of this place, mostly because we lost Evelyn in the first ten minutes we were there. Andrew was supposed to stay with her when they climbed the ropes. He came skipping back five minutes later without Evelyn and Dan spent ten minutes looking for her. (She was happily exploring on her own).
They also enjoyed Pirate Island (I think it used to be Tom Sawyer island? Maybe it still is). Although I don't think Evelyn enjoyed this photo much. I asked her to look at the camera and Andrew decided to "help" her look.
They explored caves, found drowned skeletons, and some fake pirate loot that kept them entertained for a good fifteen minutes. Long enough that Dan and I sat down to watch them, I set down Evelyn's Cinderella dress, which she'd been wearing but I made her take it off on the island, and then forgot about the dress when we left. I didn't realize it was gone for another half an hour and was lucky to catch the last raft back to the island to find it--exactly where I left it.
After we left the island, we walked by a young family. The first thing I noticed was that the mother was visibly pregnant--and then I got a good look at her face. I think we both recognized each other at the same time. It was my greenie from my mission, Alyssa Bitner (I don't know what her married name is). It was fun to meet her husband and her son and to catch up a little. And certainly, she wasn't someone I'd expected to see in the middle of Disneyland! (I never expect to see anyone I know there, but really, I know enough people who go there, that I shouldn't be surprised).
On Thursday night, we "let" (made?) the kids stay up late so I could see the light show at Disney California. It was really incredible--they shot water fountains in the air and then broadcast lights, colors, and even images across the water while music played. I would have liked it better if we'd realized we needed to arrive earlier to get a spot where the kids could see from. As it was, we had to hold them on our shoulders the entire time (save your sympathies for Dan--Evelyn isn't light, but she's not the 60+ pounds that Andrew is). I still think it was worth it.
On Friday, we split up again while Evelyn and I went to see the Aladdin musical and Dan and Andrew went on rides (Andrew wasn't interested in Aladdin--Dan wasn't much interested either, truth be told). We both loved it. I'm a sucker for a good musical, and in this case, the costumes were exquisite and the actor who played the genie was pretty hilarious. Evelyn even thought he was funny, although she didn't get most of jokes (many of which relied on pop cultural references: Snooki, Lady Gaga, Nikki Minaj).
That evening, Dan and Andrew opted to go back to the hotel early while Evelyn and I stayed to watch the parade. I enjoyed most of it--but it was really loud (probably because we were sitting by speakers). These were Evelyn's favorite parts of the parade (in fact, she instructed me to take pictures):
We didn't end up spending as much time in the park as we'd planned on our last day (Dan was grateful for this!) because it poured all morning. After three or four hours, the kids were soaked and cold (Andrew more than Evelyn because he kept slipping into puddles), so we decided we'd had enough. Before we left, Evelyn and I did get to attend the Princess Coronation ceremony, where the princesses teach you to curtsey and dance and then declare everyone present an honorary princess. Those who chose to, got to go down onto the floor and actually perform the dances. Evelyn was enraptured the entire time.
And, of course, the characters. The characters in big costumes (Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, etc.) didn't interact with the kids much, although they were good about posing for pictures and signing autograph books.
I love Evelyn's little pot belly in this one. She loves her Ariel dress, but the mermaid look isn't a good one for her!
My favorites, though, were the characters who could actually interact. The princesses and fairies we met were all really good about getting down on the kids' level and talking with them. We met Ariel serendipitously one day while Evelyn was wearing her Ariel dress. Ariel asked: "Am I your favorite princess?" (since Evelyn did, after all, look like her). Evelyn said bluntly, "No." When pressed, she clarified that Tiana was her favorite princess.
When she did meet Tiana (after a close call! I got in line early to meet the princesses because the line often gets long--it can be over an hour or two at some points--and Dan was going to bring Evelyn to me before the event opened at 9 a.m. But they got stuck on It's a Small World and only just arrived with a few minutes before Evelyn's turn.), Evelyn told Tiana she was her favorite. Tiana asked what Evelyn's favorite scene was from the movie and Evelyn told her something about the Shadow Man. Tiana looked a little taken aback. But I appreciated how gracious they all were--even though I know they get paid for it. (And yes, we saw Ariel again at the Princess greeting thing).
Can you tell Evelyn enjoyed herself? A funny note on the meeting with Belle--Andrew was really upset because she signed his book several pages after the previous signature (he wasn't there to make sure she signed it where she was "supposed to") and he was worried about filling in those 6 pages (a typical Andrew-sort of worry). In any case, he got plenty more signatures.
Some other favorites--mostly because they showed a lot of personality--were the Mad Hatter (who kept teasing people in line to see him) and Cruella de Vil (really!), who called everyone "dahling" and asked that we be civilized while waiting for pictures. She also showed Evelyn how to pose.
Friday afternoon, we happened to spot Woody hanging out between Fantasyland and Frontier land. Andrew wanted a signature, but Woody was on the verge of leaving. We asked when he would be back and were told around 4:30. So, we made our way back to the area at 4:30, only to be met by a deluge of characters (I have no idea where they were coming from): Eyore, Tigger, Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum, Brer Fox and Brer Bear, some holdovers from the old Country Bears show, Baloo, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Stich (from Lilo and Stitch), the Beast . . .
Andrew was nearly frantic. He didn't know where to start with signatures, and we knew we wouldn't have time for signatures and pictures with all of them before they had to go back to wherever they came from (I'm learning that these kind of serendipitous meetings only last for fifteen or twenty minutes), so we started with people who were close with short lines (so, no Eyore, sadly).
We tried to get the Beast to sign the books, but apparently he doesn't do signatures. He does do pictures, though.
We also got the following (you can tell by Andrew's lack of focus in the pictures that he was way more intent on the signatures than the pictures).
Andrew's big goal for the last day was to get lots of signatures. Sadly, he was thwarted by the pouring rain. Evelyn and I managed to meet Iridessa in Pixie Hollow (with no line!) and we caught Mickey at his house in Toontown, but despite waiting for 15 minutes in the rain, we never saw Donald Duck at his scheduled showing and we figured that the rain would keep a lot of the characters indoors. (I'm sure it costs a fortune to dry some of those costumes).
The Mickey shots make me giggle. Evelyn was upset because Andrew got to meet Mickey first. It shows in her face (her classic long lipped pout).
So I asked if she wanted her picture with Mickey by herself and suddenly she was all smiles. Funny girl.
We spent Saturday night in Primm, NV, so we didn't have to make the drive all at one go. The kids managed to sleep through our rowdy neighbors (seriously, why is 3 a.m. an acceptable time to be yelling in the hallway?), but Dan wasn't so lucky. (I woke up, but went right back to sleep when they quieted down). Still, we made it home in one piece--to snow!
I'm not sure I'm ready to face reality this week, but reality is coming at me, ready or not.
I'm still grateful I had a break.

Spring Break: Day Three
We spent Wednesday morning at the San Diego Zoo. The zoo is big--not quite as big as the one in DC (I think), but bigger than our usual zoo. Probably the best thing we did was ride the guided bus tour around the zoo--it cut out a lot of walking (in the middle of a week of a lot of walking).
Actually, that might be a lie. We enjoyed the bus tour--but our favorite thing was probably the sky tram, which takes you across the top of the park. (You can see Andrew on the tram below). Evelyn's favorite part of the park was the elephants. I'm not sure what Andrew liked best, but he made us take a long detour just so we could see raptors (birds of prey).
We made our escape around 1 p.m. and drove north to Anaheim. We splurged a little for our last three nights in CA and got a hotel suite with two rooms. The kids room was *huge*--it had a bunk bed and a pullout bed. But it was so nice to put the kids to bed in a separate room and not have to worry about waking them up if we wanted to watch TV. And yes, I have a picture of the room.
The kids wanted to go swimming as soon as we got to the hotel. I'd arranged for a four-day pass to Disneyland so that we could go into the park that afternoon, so I wanted to go to the park, but I was eventually out-voted. And I'm glad I was. It was nice to take a break and the kids loved splashing around for a little while.
And we did eventually make it to the park. We went on a few rides--Evelyn had her first taste of Thunder Mountain Railroad and decided it was a little too scary for her taste.
This is not a very good picture of Dan or of the kids, but it makes me laugh. (You'll notice that *I* don't show up in any of these pictures. That's what happens when you're the blog editor).
We also had one of those serendipitous meetings that I'm deciding are my favorite part of the park experience: we ran into Sleeping Beauty just outside her castle and got her autograph.
This was only the first of many. I remembered from last time that we'd had fun running into characters around the park and taking pictures--I thought it would be fun to get autographs too, so I ordered autograph books for the kids before we left. I'm still glad I did that, although it had sort of unintended consequences. Andrew--with all of his intensity and competitiveness--seized onto the autograph books with gusto. He didn't particularly care if *he* was the one to meet the character (we got several signatures while he was on exciting rides with his dad and Evelyn and I got to wait in lines), but he did care about numbers. We came away with signatures of 24 different characters, but I think Andrew was disappointed that rain on our last day meant that he didn't get even more signatures. (Evelyn's book only had one blank page left in it--I'm not sure what we would have done had Andrew succeeded in his quest).

Spring Break: Day Two
Tuesday was Sea World day. However, since Sea World didn't open until 10 a.m. (and our kids are up at six), we spent an hour combing the beach in Carlsbad. Our kids have never been to the beach, and although it was far too cold to encourage swimming, they seemed to enjoy it. We let them dip their toes in the surf to convince them that it *was* cold and they ran back onto shore shrieking. Andrew collected shells and Evelyn made little sand castle. I walked with Andrew and watched the brown pelicans fly in orderly rows, swooping down and skimming the tops of the waves.
I don't know where Evelyn gets her sass, but she sure makes us laugh.
Her "sand castle." She was inordinately proud of it.
Our entry into Sea World was much less eventful than yesterday's entry. We got to the park early, but all of our extra time was eaten up waiting in line for our tickets. Today was another lovely spring day--the sun shone brightly (after the morning clouds burned away) and a brisk breeze blew. We spent a little time looking at exhibits: the kids especially liked the shark encounter, where they got to walk down a glass tunnel with sharks swimming overhead.
As a side note: Evelyn was a lot more willing to pose for pictures than Andrew was (and to meet "characters"). Also, Evelyn and I couldn't go on some of the rides Andrew wanted to go on, so Evelyn and I spent a lot of quality one-on-one time together while Dan and Andrew rode rides. And guess who had the camera? So yes, if you notice a lot more pictures of Evelyn than Andrew, you'd be absolutely right.
Then we went to wait for the Shamu show (One Ocean, I think it was called). The kids wanted to get wet, so we sat in the "Splash Zone"--and then they were quite disappointed when the show started and they didn't get wet immediately. We told them to wait--sure enough, it didn't take long before we were all well-splashed (although Andrew and I got the worst of it).
In the afternoon, we split up for a little while: Evelyn and I went to see the Sea Lion show while Dan and Andrew went on a ride (Andrew was done with shows). Then we spent some time in the Sesame Street play area. Andrew enjoyed climbing around and Evelyn got her picture with Elmo and Grover. We finished off by seeing the polar animals (polar bear, beluga whale) and penguins.
Andrew and Dan coming off of one of Andrew's favorite rides (let's just say it involves getting wet after a long drop). One of the things we discovered about Andrew is that he likes fast rides--and roller coasters. He did not get this from me. (Truth be told, I'm fairly chicken about rides. I didn't mind at all when Evelyn didn't meet the height requirements for certain rides!)
We had dinner that night just outside of the Old San Diego Historic State Park--at the Old Town Mexican Cafe, where Hispanic women stand in the front window tossing tortillas. Dan had been there before and wanted to go back; I figured it must be good when we arrived before 5 p.m. and there was already a wait. It didn't disappoint, although I think Dan enjoyed it the most.
Evelyn fell asleep on the way home and now we're just waiting on Andrew . . . Tomorrow, the San Diego Zoo and then North to Anaheim. Um, and yes, I know: we're crazy. (But we survived!)
