California Day 12

There's something about Downtown Disney. It's not the great dining or the cool shopping - it's more the atmosphere. We spent half the day here hanging out with Stephen and Jenn. The boys bought magic tricks and threw their hats down for their own street show. I told them I thought it would have worked in San Francisco.

We ran into beauty pageant contestants in their evening gowns. All the girls were ooh-ing and aah-ing over the real life "princesses". The contestants were very sweet to them, posing for pictures and giving autographs. We all laughed that in 2 years that will be us standing in line for fake princess autographs.

They talked Jenn into eating sweet and sour candy over and over to see her funny faces.

California Day 11

I think it's Tuesday - we are losing track and have to keep thinking about the date and the day. That is a great feeling.

Today Chris and I went house shopping - well not really - there are some new construction homes a block north of Lori and Dan so we walked through the models. They are so pretty. The bad news or good news, depending on how you look at it, is we can't afford them.

While we were out, we came across the intersection of Church and Hellman. I got a kick out of this so I had to take a picture.

We had a cookout complete with smores tonight. Mark even gave chef Dan the thumbs up.

California Day 10

Forgot to mention that I love In and Out Burgers - OMG - they are the best burgers and I hate burgers. We hit a great Yogurt place at Victorian Gardens or VG if you are cool - think it's called Pink Berry. It was very good. Also between Chad, Lori and Nick's iPhone - it's only a matter of time before Chris and I go buy one. They are so cool!
Just chilling mostly - how could we resist with this backyard?
