Scarlet Pimpernel...

The Hale Center Theater is now showing the Scarlet Pimpernel through September 26. If there is any way you can get tickets and go - YOU MUST! It was superb!! The costumes were exquisite, the stage was magnificent, and the singing was amazing! Loved it!!

I know, I know...

My sister Paula made a comment on my previous post that I needed to post pictures of the family. I would, really, if I could find my battery charger! The last pictures I took of my family and posted were in JUNE. What?? Please let me know if you find my battery charger or would just like to buy me a new (really nice) camera. I would like to keep you updated. (updated = at least once a month.....ha!)

Check it Out!!

L is for...

....loser, lame, lazy blogger...you pick, it will fit! What a crazy summer! I was feeling so bad that Gabe and I hadn't spent much time together this summer (L would also work for Latchkey child!) I know that money can't buy happiness, but he said he wanted to spend a day just me and him. So, I planned one of those spur of the moment trips to surprise him with - something I have ALWAYS wanted to do! And where did we go? Guess....

That's right - we went to Disneyland, just the two of us, and it was SO much fun! We loaded him in the car early one morning and told him Dad had a business trip. When we got to the airport, Jesse gave him a list of chores to do while he was gone. At the bottom of the list was "go to Disneyland with Mom". He laughed and smiled and then climbed back in the car! Jesse and I were laughing so hard! Then off we went - just the two of us :) Thank you to my sweet mother in law who stayed at our house to watch Emma and clean my house from top to bottom (it SO needed it!) I don't think she slept a wink for 3 days.

Love you Gabe - let's do it again!

Cowabunga Bay!

So, we gave it a try today..... And it was a hit! We really did enjoy ourselves. The kids LOVED the new water park - Gabe enjoyed to big slides and Emma couldn't get away from the little slides. I even got a little nap on the grass in the warm sun. We will go back. The only drawbacks: Crowded - but we were expecting that. And this is more of a personal problem....I cannot stand public restrooms at swimming facilites. I gag just thinking about them...don't you?
