It's been a few years since our <a href="http://linnloop.blogspot.com/2010/11/little-sneak-peek.html" target="_blank">last family pictures</a>. Which is unlike us, usually I am pretty good about getting them done annually but something kept coming up the past few years making it difficult. This year I decided that NOTHING was going to get in the way! We had a few things try to come up and make it difficult but eventually it happened and I couldn't be happier with the result!</div>

We have always done pretty casual pictures so this year I wanted us to be a little more formal, just for a change. I also rented an antique chandelier and a wooden bench and it just came together amazing! Since my cousin Nikaela does them for us at a <em>significant</em> family discount we try to make it as easy on her as possible so we teamed up with my parents, who also wanted to get their family pictures taken, which worked out awesome because we got some fun pics of all of us! </div>

After football we started actively looking for a new club baseball team for Spencer. He is now playing with the BBC Generals 13U team. We are really excited to be a part of a great organization and what seems to be a great group of boys and parents. We lost the first tournament but the boys played well and with each game they got better, which is all you can ask for with a brand new team. Most of these boys are kids he goes to school with now, or they go to other Junior High school's in our district. And - YAY! He gets to keep his #6!<br />

At Ethan & Olivia's Elementary school they had this big huge "Thank you, Veterans!" assembly and celebration! When they originally brought home the papers about it Dan just glanced at it and then tossed it in the trash. He was not interested in going to the kids school and being recognized. (He is one of those guys that <em>doesn't </em>stand up when they ask if there are any veterans in the audience...) Well a couple of days before the assembly Olivia comes home and says "Dad! When you come to my school on Friday for the assembly I am going to give you something because you are a Veteran!" ha! How can you deny that! So of course, he decided to go. And I am so glad that we did! <br />
<br />
This assembly was amazing! I have never, even in Texas, seen a school put on an assembly like this! They sang patriotic music and waved flags - it was so wonderful to see! <br />

I have been wondering when this moment would come, and apparently it took some girlfriends to convince her that she should go! So they went as a little group of girls and apparently had a "pretty good time" but it was "SO HOT" in the school. <br />

On October 1st Dan and I celebrated 14 years of being hitched! It's been a rollercoaster for sure but I wouldn't change a minute of it! It has made us who we are and made our love for each other that much stronger. He is amazing, and I just love him.

My little Man! Spencer turned 13 on October 6th! Every year I am dumbfounded that they are getting older. Someday I might catch on and be ready for it coming but I seriously doubt it. <br />
<br />
Spencer is in Junior High this year. He is super athletic and SUPER intelligent. He has one of those brains that remembers everything! He can tell you all about the Civil War and the layers of the Earth and tell you how to divide fractions - all from memory! (I don't know where he stores it all!)<br />
<br />
I am blessed to have him in my life. He is a kind hearted wonderful young man and I look forward to his teenage years.

This fall season we had the boys play football again. Neither of them were super ecstatic to play at the beginning of the season but I am so glad that they played anyways. By the end of the season they both felt more comfortable in the sport and I think they even love it a little more. I wouldn't be surprised if next year they want to play, without us needing to nudge them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unlike last year the boys played on 2 different teams this year. Which sorta sucked for us parents because there were many games that one of us couldn't make because we were attending the others' game, but it was totally worth it for the boys! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This allowed Ethan to stay down at the Junior PeeWee level and get more comfortable with the sport. Plus, when he is playing with kids his own age he is HUGE! Which it is definite bonus for him. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ethan and Garrett were able to play together again, and they played for a team called Rampage. Their coach. Coach Paul, was awesome! He was super high energy and knowledgeable about the game. Ethan played Wide Receiver for most of the season and would occasionally come in as defensive end. He ended the season with 1 touchdown (and I, of course, had a picture of that on my crashed laptop). </div>

Spencer had to move up to the PeeWee division because of his age. Thankfully his coach & most of the team from last year, the Rawhiders, also moved up! It was a lot of fun to be with the same guys again. It really is a fantastic team with great parents and boys. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spencer started off the season pretty rough, he was a minimum plays kid for the first couple of games. I could tell, so I am sure the coaches could tell, that his heart just wasn't in the game. Then all of the sudden, I don't know what happened, but he was fierce! He was all fired up! He wanted to hit someone! He wanted to play! I LOVED watching him play after that. He is so naturally athletic and so intelligent when it comes thinking like an athlete. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Toward the end of the season his team had several injuries so Spencer had to fill in many times in new positions. He ended the season with at least 3 Sacks! He was a little defensive beast! He also had 1 touchdown on the season. :) </div>

<br />
my laptop died! <br />
<br />
It had all my pictures and files and information on it and it just crashed! <br />
<br />
no, I did not back it up either. <br />
<br />
It's funny because I had been thinking that I needed to back it up but the thought was just so overwhelming so I just ignored it and guess what!?!? <br />
<br />
Now I have 3 years worth of pictures GONE! ugh. It really makes me sick. Thankfully I do have most of them here on this blog, although they are not the original file size and so if I ever get them turned into a book I will still have them to look at. But I am still sad because I lost everything from August-October of this year that I hadn't blogged about yet. :(<br />
<br />
Well I am going to try and do a little catch up with the pictures that I do have!

We are half-way through our first grading quarter for school already! Which meant that our first round of parent/teacher conferences was last week. I have never dreaded conferences, my kids have always been good at school and polite kids so usually it is just a nice time to get to see their classroom and really get to know the teacher. (Except one year with Spencer (4th grade) , talk about 2 personalities that didn't mix!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year I have been a little hesitant for Olivia's conference. Let's just say, I have been.... nervous. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong! I love this girl! She is spunky and strong and confident - all traits that I LOVE about her, but I was concerned that she might come across as a little... mean for the kindergarten population. Especially since she has been coming home from school just awful! She is flat out defiant when she gets home from school! Which is something so unlike her normal (before she was at school all-day) demeanor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6PlukV8X9Lj4CFNYg1CGFUsh58c136Nnxrf-gX4rt3i2xM0DN4KVMYfRDD_ck79X7eo5pOpg4NkzvQkEXIciOzBV-Fqojh4vPx7S0I0fLsqd_DPuUDHzbaM5gb1aP9_U9bpGTkqXS1sA/s1600/IMG_3303.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6PlukV8X9Lj4CFNYg1CGFUsh58c136Nnxrf-gX4rt3i2xM0DN4KVMYfRDD_ck79X7eo5pOpg4NkzvQkEXIciOzBV-Fqojh4vPx7S0I0fLsqd_DPuUDHzbaM5gb1aP9_U9bpGTkqXS1sA/s640/IMG_3303.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
Well when we walked into her classroom we were about 10 minutes early, and there wasn't a conference before us, so this is how our conversation went:<br />
<br />
Me: <i>"we are early, do you want us to wait or do you want to start a little early?</i>"<br />
Mrs. V: <i>"Oh good! You're early!" </i><br />
Me: just my thoughts...<i> {oh great! why!?!? why is she glad we are early?! Because she has to tell us about behavior issues before we go onto curriculum!}</i><br />
Mrs. V:<i> "That way I can spend the first twenty minutes telling you how much I LOVE your daughter and then we can talk about what she has been learning for the last 10 minutes!"</i><br />
Me: [wide eyes: open mouth: near tears of joy!] <i>"Really!"</i><br />
<br />
She went on to tell us that Olivia is such a good kid! She said that she is genuinely kind and thoughtful of others. That she never participates in any negative behaviors and she definitely avoids the "girl drama". She is a friend to all the kids and she is very loved by her peers, in fact, anytime they get to take a buddy with them she is always the first one picked.<br />
<br />
I don't think I can accurately describe the feelings of pride I had in that moment! I can handle the mean girl and the exhausted girl and the defiant girl at home - if that means that she is using what we have taught her when she is at school. She is representing our family well and I am so proud of that.<br />

I do feel like I need to give a little props to Ryleigh for being such a fantastic big sister and a great example of what it means to be a female and not be a part of the "drama" that often comes with the gender. She is a great role model for Olivia on how to be confident and strong-willed and secure in yourself. I am so appreciative of my girls right now and the beautiful young women that they are. I look forward to their futures and pray that they will continue to always know who they are and stand strong in their beliefs. That is what makes a woman beautiful... is it not??</div>

We Survived!I really feel like we should be so proud of the fact that no one died this weekend of heat related issues. Ethan's club team decided to play in a baseball tournament! So Saturday morning we played at 8:00 & noon and it was miserable. The sun was BLAZING hot and it was humid! That's right...HUMID! What the heck! I had literal sweat rolling off me, and I was just watching them play! ick.<br />
<br />
Well anyways, they played 2 games and lost them both. They only lost by 1 run in both games so that was tough, but it made it so we were the last place team going into the tournament on Sunday. So, not to be mean or anything... but I was expecting to show up for our 8am game on Sunday - lose the game - and be home by 10:00. Well we WON our first game. Which was awesome! But that meant that we had to play another game immediately at 10:00am and it was the #1 team. Ya... we beat them too! WHAT!?!?!?! So now it is noon, it is disgustingly hot outside. We are sweaty, sunburned, smelly and going into the championship game that was supposed to start right away but thankfully they gave us a 30 minute break to feed our kids and re-hydrate them. During our break I checked the weather and it was 108* degrees outside, but the funny part was the RED<span style="color: red;"> <b>(!)</b></span><b>.</b> When I clicked on it it said that our area was under an "extreme heat advisory" it went on to say that if we worked or planned to be outside that rescheduling would be a good idea! ha!<br />
<br />
We lost the Championship game, but the boys worked really hard and played really well. I couldn't imagine playing 6+ hours of baseball on a day like this! It was out of control hot. I am just so proud of them! Plus they all get a trophy for being the "finalist" anyways!<br />

Wow! Today Ethan turned 11 (at 5:30am!) Since we are having to put off his special birthday dinner because he has a football scrimmage tonight I told him I would make him a special birthday breakfast before school. He chose Eggs Benedict. I LOVE that he loves Eggs Benedict! How many 11 year old's even know what the heck that is!!!????</div>

The football scrimmage was a success! His team looked really good! He plays on starting offense as a wide receiver and he was playing second string defense as a linebacker. When he was on defense he had an interception!! woohoo! Then I made a BUTT LOAD of whoopie pies for the team to help us celebrate Ethan's birthday!</div>

Oh ya.. It is that time of year again! Time to torture our sons. It honestly surprises me that we can get away with conditioning our children in Arizona on August 1st in football helmets! Thankfully this year has NOTHING on last year. It was actually comfortable outside today. Breezy and in the 90's. Not bad! </div>

The boys are on two different teams this year, which is a little sucky for me but nice for them. It is good for them to have their own identities. Spencer is still with the Rawhiders - they moved up to the PeeWee division. </div>

My biological father lives in Lakeside along with pretty much all of his family. Saying 'biological' sounds so impersonal, like we don't know each other, but we do! In fact he was the only father I knew until I was 9. Then my parents got divorced, my mom got re-married and I saw him less and less. Somewhere along the years I started referring to him as Steve, (which is what he calls himself when I talk to him so maybe that is his preference...) and my step-dad adopted me and my two brothers and I started feeling like less a part of his family because I didn't see them anymore. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It really had not occurred to me the effect this has had on me until I was 30! I always felt like it didn't bother me because my "new" dad loved me so much! (Which he does!!) But now that I am older and a little less concerned with being tough I can say that it has hurt me. It was hard to go from being a part of a family to all of the sudden NOT being a part of the family. I missed them. A lot. I don't think it was anyone's fault that this happened. Divorce was different then. I know everyone thought they were doing what they thought was the best things for us kids. You just never know until its all done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways...I missed them! I missed my Aunt & Uncles and my grandparents and COUSINS! So over the past couple of years I have been trying to reach out and bridge that gap but it's hard. It is hard to have missed so much of someones life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So when Ethan's club team announced the tournament in Show Low I knew we would have to stop in and see my family up there! I had NO CLUE that they would be SO EXCITED to see us too! My grandparents have 4 spare beds (3 doubles & 1 twin) and so they asked us if we would stay with them and of course I accepted. Dan and the kids were a little anxious about it because they didn't know them, they were worried it would be weird - but it wasn't! They were awesome! It was wonderful. I felt so comfortable and loved. Dan even was amazed at how loving and comfortable it was. It was a little surreal being there because even though the house is a new one since I was little, all the stuff is the same. I had so many memories come rushing back to me just seeing some of the things in their home. Like this:</div>

Yep, that's right. That is my name on that. When I saw this hanging on the wall in the bedroom I started to cry. They have had this in their home for 31 years! They never forgot about me, as a child I always just assumed that they had. There was also pictures of me and my family and little crafts that my mom had made in their home. It was very touching. </div>

On Saturday after our games we came back to my gramma's house for an early dinner. She had invited the whole (WHOLE!) family over for dinner. It was amazing to see everyone again! Most of these people I have not seen in 20 years at least! It was amazing to me that everyone knew who I was but even their little kids were not shy or curious as to who the heck I was either. </div>

On Sunday morning we met up with Steve and Jennifer (his wife) and my brother Tyler at this place called Darbi's. It was super yummy. I'm not gonna lie. It was some good breakfast. yummm... Steve's claim to fame is the "Stevie boy Potatoes" on the menu. Apparently they are named after him, and if you eat them like he does you will die before you turn 35 years old of a coronary. I had them - a little less "smothered" and they were delicious!<br />

Ethan's club ball team decided to play a tournament in Show Low last weekend. It was a blast! Obviously, with it being 115* in the valley it just isn't realistic to play baseball in that heat but the coaches and players wanted to play - so we head North! The weather was awesome! The boys on the Generals all played All-Stars for Chandler National so USSSA let them wear their uniforms for the tournament. Some of the boys were from the North (Grey jersey's) and some were from the South (Maroon jersey's). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My brother, Tyler, came to the game and he asked me when Ethan got up to bat: "So has Ethan hit any home runs?" My reply "uh, no. Not over the fence. That is pretty rare at this age. Usually the only kids in 10U that can put it over the fence are the tubby kids."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No joke - the next pitch - Ethan swings and <span style="font-size: large;">OVER THE FENCE IT GOES!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> YEP! MY BABY BOY'S FIRST HOME RUN!!!!!!!!!!</span></div>

Don't be jealous! Chandler starts school in JULY!!!! I love it! I get mixed reactions from a lot of people about it. But I don't care whatcha'll think! I think it is wonderful. This last week I was just starting to get to the point where I was thinking school was needing to start (fighting, whining, boredom, STARVING children!!) and sure enough it is starting! ALL the kids are in school this year but they are at 3 different schools, and they all start at different times so I couldn't get a picture of them all together! Thank goodness for the digital age - I can create a group shot!<br />

Ryleigh leaves for school first - at like 6:40am! yeeesh! She is taking her English class online this year so that she can take Seminary without needing a zero hour class, which is awesome for me! No carpool!!! She is a Sophomore. I can't believe it. She is about to get her Driver's permit in about a month and she can hardly stand it. I think I might have a panic attack!<br />
She is a fantastic student! She works hard and she is good at school. Her teachers usually like her, which is a good thing. School is easier when they like you.<br />
She LOVES baseball! Mainly the Diamondbacks and she is near obsessive about Paul Goldschmidtt. The funny thing about that is she has been in love with him since his MLB debut 3 summers ago but this year he seems to be the HOT one! She gets so annoyed when other people like him! She LIKED HIM FIRST! hahaha! She's just awesome! What else can I say!<br />

The Elementary kids (Ethan & Olivia) leave next, at like 7:50am. This is Ethan's first year of school without Spencer. He is taking like a champ! Who needs a big brother when you are as awesome as this kid?? Ethan is in 5th grade this year and has Mrs. Wood, who also has Spencer as a student (fortunately for Ethan she liked Spencer!). Ethan's best friend isn't in his class but he makes friends easily so I don't see that as being a problem.<br />
<br />
Ethan is pretty much a little athlete. He loves all sports. Right now he is about to start up tackle football (next week!). Plus he has a baseball tournament this weekend in Show Low with his club baseball team. His teacher last year would always refer to him as "just a cool kid". I think she's right! He is a cool kid!<br />
<br />

She is finally going to kindergarten! She has been waiting for 5 1/2 years already! Her teacher looks like she will be perfect for a little red headed personality in her class. Olivia was so cute picking out her new school clothes and backpack. She even let me do her hair for the first day! (Those of you that know Olivia understand how rare this is!)<br />
<br />
Olivia is 5 going on 25! She is so fabulous! One of these days I am going to have an entire blog post of just her selfies/videos/voice memos that I find on her iPod! She is a crack up! I will be interested to see how she does with the structure of school. She is not a conformist! hahaha! That poor school... they have no idea what is coming.....<br />
<br />

Yep! That is right he's in 7th grade! Can you believe it!!!!??? Ya.. I can't..... but I can. His Junior High seems like it will be a nice transition between elementary and high school. When I was in Jr. High my classes could be on one end of the school and then my next class would be on the opposite side and downstairs! Not here at his school! He gets placed in a "group" and it is a group of 4 core teachers (English, Science, Math & Social Studies) and every kid in his same group have those same core teachers and their classrooms are all within the same vicinity of each other. Then he only has to worry about his elective classes. Doesn't that sound so nice! Where were these people when I was this age!<br />
<br />
Jr High has sports so I am really hopeful he will try to go out for some athletics! He is about to start up tackle football in a week too and we are currently looking for a new baseball team for him. He is so awesome! I just love his tender heart and sweet personality! I hope he can be successful in this new stage of life!<br />

We were SO proud of Ethan this year! He made the Chandler National North All-Star team (10U). The talent of the boys of this team is tremendous! Unfortunately they all seemed to suffer from the same problem... clarity. It seemed like they were all so stressed out about needing to make the play that they would forget simple fundamentals like ball first! The team didn't do very well but I am hopeful that as they grow they will calm down and they will be great by the time they are 12 - and that is when it matters! (I made a video of the season, scroll to the bottom to watch it!)<br />
<br />
Ethan got to play everywhere! He played Shortstop, Second, Catcher, Pitcher and outfield. He really is good at all positions (and that is not just the mom in me!) but his favorite is Catcher! I don't know if it was nerves or what, but Ethan did struggle a bit during this season. His batting was not as strong as it normally is but he also admitted to me that he was trying to hit ground balls instead of balls in the air because that is what the coach told him. Personally, I think that would be a great thing to work on in the regular season but when you are in All-Stars you need to go with what works, and changing stuff up doesn't work. Ethan hits for power, and that means its usually off the ground and into the outfield. He will pop-up occasionally but it's worth it when he gets a double at his next at bat! (end rant!) <br />

Ammon is house sitting for his neighbor's right now and they have a pretty fun pool! Ammon was so sweet to think of our family last Saturday and called and invited us over to swim! The kids had a blast (and you know what... So did I!!) Olivia learned how to swim this summer over at Mikaela's house and so she was a little fish! Adam & Aubrey brought their kids over too and so we all just hung around, relaxed and played. It was a perfect Saturday! Thanks Ammon! </div>

On the drive home from California we were listening to the kids watch <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108037/" target="_blank">The Sandlo</a>t on the DVD player (and I was cracking up! I don't even have to see it to love it!) and Dan said "we should take a sandlot picture of the Raptor's!" and I knew at that moment that it was meant to be! So I sent out a text to the team right then and set it up for the following Friday! Here are some of my favorite shots...<br />

Day 5.... or drive home!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had planned to leave Sunday afternoon after our last game. The boys wanted to stay really really bad one more night! We made them a deal - if they win their games then we will stay another night (because who wants to drive 6 hours home after watching 6 hours of baseball??) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Three hours later we were on the road! Yep! We got shellacked - again. This one was tough because after the game Dan said goodbye to the boys and that he has loved being their coach. They were all pretty sad. A bunch of the boys were crying. All the parents were sad and teary. It was a terrible way to end the tournament. But I am thankful still for all their friendships and the amazing memories we have had with them!<br />
<br />
We stopped at In-and-Out on our way out of town and I saw this.... I was confused. Men: Don't try this <strike>at home</strike>- EVER!<br />

After our butt whooping we went and celebrated at this place called <a href="http://www.lamppost-backstreet.com/index.html" target="_blank">Lamp Post Pizza</a>! It was delicious! I would totally go back. It was so fun to spend time with our Baseball family. The boys all get along so well and it is like one big happy family. I am so grateful that all these wonderful people are a part of our life and I am thankful that I can call them friends. Of course, this is all a bittersweet time for us since this is our last tournament with the Raptors. It is breaking my heart really....<br />

While all of our favorite Arizona people were enjoying record heats we were "suffering" in the beautiful coastal weather. Thankfully we had a day of outdoor fun planned! </div>

We took the kids to <a href="https://www.knotts.com/" target="_blank">Knott's Berry Farm</a>!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We found these AMAZING deals online for tickets! (They were less than $30 a ticket!!) So we got together with friends from the team and spent the day riding coasters with the kids! Here is a brief overview of our 8 hours spent at the park: </div>

When we got in the park there was a gigantic wood roller coaster staring us down. All the kids immediately wanted to go on it. So we did. </div>

Dan and Krissi stayed back with the younger kids that were not tall enough to ride and myself and the other adults and most of the kids got in line. and then we waited. and waited. and waited. and when we finally got to the front of the line they sent us upstairs to board the coaster and we found ourselves waiting in another line. and waiting. and waiting. Finally it was time to ride! (Thank you cell phones for me being able to call Dan and tell him to take the kids on some rides while they wait!) Once we finally got to board the coaster we ended up going at different times since the line was huge! Ethan and his friend Bryce rode at the same time as Ryleigh & I so I couldn't get a picture of them, but Spencer and Zac took the coaster after us so I got a picture of them pre-ride. (hah! They look so hopeful! I wish I would have thought to get a post-ride picture!!) </div>

Okay, I don't know if it is because I am older or because it was a wooden coaster or I am just getting weak but OH.MY.GOSH. I had to take Advil after the ride! I think I had whiplash!!! Don't get me wrong, it was AWESOME! But my neck hurt, my head hurt, my heart was racing and I still loved it!</div>

After the Ghost Rider we met up with Dan, Krissi & the littles over in the family area of the park. Even though the boys claimed that they "loved" the Ghost Rider they were more than happy to ride on the family rides over and over again. They were in no hurry to get on a big coaster anytime soon.</div>

Dan was in line with Olivia to ride the Surf Rider when we got there, so of course I didn't want to take away his fun so I stayed back and took pictures of them. If you know Dan he HATES rides that go in circles, so this was right up his alley! ;) The look of joy on Olivia's face was worth it though!</div>

Then Dan and Stephanie (one of our friends) took the kids over to the Coast Rider. A "family" roller coaster that allows you to be in a single car. Olivia was tall enough to ride this ride. Unfortunately she was on the inside seat, next to Dan, and in the back row so I could never get a good picture of her face but she said that it was not fun because it made her tummy feel funny.</div>

While they were riding that ride Ryleigh and I went and got in line for the Boomerang with some of the others from our group. The boys were not interested in this ride, "not because it's scary but because they were just getting hungry...". The line was SO LONG and it was in a nice shaded area, unfortunately the shade only provided a muggy, smelly atmosphere. Finally we got on the ride! </div>

This ride did me in! It was so fun at first but then as the ride is getting finished you get the privilege of doing the whole think again BACKWARDS! Once I did a loop backwards I was done! I was so nauseous and I had this cold clammy sweat going on. It was awful! It probably took me a good 2 hours before I started feeling semi-normal again. bleck! Ryleigh loved it though.</div>

All the adults LOVED the train ride! They said it was nice and relaxing and breezy. Olivia said it was freaky because of the bandits! (Apparently bandits come and try to hi-jack the train at some point)</div>

Then we headed over to the Log Ride! Okay, this ride was my favorite! It was cool and breezy and slow moving. It was AWESOME! It got a little freaky when you are inside the mountain, only because the puppets (mine workers) are icky looking, but it was so much fun. Plus I felt like it lasted a long time. </div>

Finally all the school groups started to go home and the lines got considerably shorter so everyone went over to the Silver Bullet. This is one of the main, if not THE main attraction at the park! It is the type of coaster where your feet dangle. Dan wanted to go on this ride pretty bad, and since he was so good to ride with Olivia all day I opted to stay behind for this one and let him go with the kids. The boys didn't have any interest in going on this one either. Of course, they were not "scared" they just wanted to wait with me.... or so they claimed... {insert evil laugh} </div>

Before we left we found this little section of the park that is completely geared toward kids Olivia's age and smaller. They get to ride the rides by themselves!!

On our first full day in Huntington (Thursday June 6th) we went with 5 other families to the beach. Early in the day the weather was overcast and gloomy and I was nervous that the beach would be miserable but it ended up being perfect. The weather was comfortable and the beach was beautiful. Eventually in the early afternoon the sun came out and warmed us up! The kids didn't care that the water was just a few degrees above ice cubes. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> After a very long day at the beach we were STARVING! We had originally planned to go back to the house and make dinner but we were all exhausted so we opted to eat out. We had tried to go to a couple of seafood </span>restaurants<span style="font-family: inherit;"> down by the water but they all closed at 9:00 pm (ya, I said it was a LONG day at the beach!) finally we were getting desperate so we found this Italian </span>restaurant<span style="font-family: inherit;"> in town called </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 37px;">Cucina Alessá that was still open.

I think I can count on 1 hand the number of times we have gone on a family vacation, so we were pretty freaking excited to go to California this summer! The Raptor's decided back in the early Spring that rather than play in steamy AZ after Memorial Day that we would take a trip to Huntington Beach and play in a Southern California tournament. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />The tournament was on Saturday & Sunday and we decided to drive over on Wednesday (June 5th) and use this as a family vacation. We had two families from the Raptor's that we went in together on a beach house with. (it wasn't really <i>ON</i> the beach, it was 1.5 miles away...but still awesome!!)</div>

Thankfully our kids are like PRO's at travelling. We left Wednesday morning at about 9:00 (after stopping for Gas & at Target!) and drove into Huntington at around 2:30! Yes, that's right. We made amazing time because we didn't stop once! Our kids were so chill! They played magnetic checkers & tic-tac-toe (thank you dollar spot at Target!), played their iPods, watched a couple movies, snacked & slept.<br />

When we got into town we were all pretty hungry since we didn't stop for lunch so we went downtown and ate at this super cute little beach side cafe called <a href="http://www.hbsugarshack.com/" target="_blank">The Sugar Shack</a>. It was oh so yum! They serve mostly breakfast but they did have a few lunch items. I would totally recommend stopping by if your ever in town.<br />
<br />
Then we headed over to our house and met up with our other families, the Granillo's & the Pugh's. The house was tiny but it had plenty of space for us for a little vacation. Way more room than a hotel! Plus it had a kitchen which was awesome! Between our 3 families we had that fridge more stocked than my fridge at home!<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">I did a little panorama shot here of our house with my phone so we could get a feel of the living areas, behind me we had 2 bathrooms & 3 bedrooms off of a hallway. The little patio off the kitchen was the best part! The weather was awesome so we would just open it up everyday and live inside and outside! For some reason there were no bugs or flying things either! It was perfect! </span></div>
