So we went to Cali for Lauren's wedding (Lauren Jones is our assistant coach on the team at BYU) over halloween.  We made the most of the trip by spending a day at disneyland, going swimming and having a blast trick or treating around the Jones's neighborhood.  It is amazing how fun road trips can be these days.  At one point McKay was playing the Nintendo DS, Abby was listening to music on the ipod, Josie and Kimball were watching a movie, and McKenzie and I were listening to an audio book.  Needless to say the trip down and back was very easy and enjoyable.  I sure am grateful for technology.  The first day there we went to Disneyland.  We got there right as they have the music playing to open the park for the day.  Josie is dancing down the main street just being Josie (no inhibitions).  

People are looking over just smiling at her.  We went straight to the young kids area in particular the Dumbo ride.  Well Josie didn't like that to much, the other kids including Kimball loved it.

   

So then we went to the toad ride to get Josie excited about being there.  That went even worse.  So then we tried the peter pan ride, by this point Josie is in hysterics'.  She is screaming refusing to go on any other rides because they are to scary.  The rest of the day was great, the lines were not that bad and we went on whatever we wanted numerous times.  Josie of course didn't.  Kimball loved every minute of the nine hours we spent there, he is just as fearless as McKay and Abby.  After disneyland we went back to the hotel got changed quickly and headed for the Jones for trick or treating.  

Once there we started around the streets.  All our kids enjoyed this, Kimball being 2 now really enjoyed the treating part of trick or treat.  He would not let anyone hold his bag for him.  That was his candy.  The kids had fun and none of them are really shy, but Josie man alive that girl is absolutely fearless when it comes to social settings.  She was walking into peoples houses to check of their dogs, or their pretty decorations.   As it got later in the evening  a couple of families had gathered out the front of one there homes and were a little inebriated.  Well they were alot inebriated.  Josie just goes right up and starts chatting with them.  Making sure they gave her brother (Kimball) his candy.  These people loved Josie, needless to say it took a while to move onto the next house.  The rest of the trip was great a blast all the kids were fun to be with.  The drive down and back were just what I needed, some time to think.
