AHH - The Memories . . .

I was looking through pictures on my computer today & came across these. Back in 2004, when we lived in Wilder, Vermont, Brittany lived with us for awhile. If I remember correctly, she had to go out of town training for a whole week & didn't want to miss her FAVORITE soap opera. This is what we found laid out on her bed after she had gone. She had laid out the tapes along with 2 pages of instructions. It was just too cute. I hope her dad (Eddie) was able to tape everything correctly for her - I don't remember if there was a problem or not when she returned home. Notice how neatly everything is laid out -complete with the remote controls.

Notice how she labeled a tape for each day of the week.

The Cushing Family

Our Cassie & Chris, two wonderful people, made just for each other. We know you have been through alot & have been with you in spirit the whole way. Stay strong & things will turn out just like they are suppose to. We love you both & hope to see you soon.
Our #1 grandson Kobie, 5 years old. Born in March 2003.
An apple of his grandpa's eyes.
Cassie swears that Kobie waited to be born until we arrived in Vermont. We moved from Arizona to Vermont in March of 2003 & Kobie was born 2 days after we arrived.
We love you very much.

Another apple of his grandpa's eyes.
We love you very much.

Disneyland continued . . .

Since I was not able to connect with the site in CA, I'll just summarize the highlights. Here is Becka posing with Ariel. I think this was the best part of the trip for her.
On Thursday, we spent a lot of time in California Adventure. One of our favorite rides is
"Soarin Over California".
Becka wanted to sit in the first row so bad that I had to ask to be able to sit there. They, very happily, let us sit in the middle section on the front row. She was in heaven.
(I would recommend this ride to anyone - I'll even go with you!!)
Another fun ride for Becka (it made me sick) was the Grizzy River Run. Becka calls this the Grrrr ride. Although she does get car sick, she did not get sick on this ride at all. Hmmmmm.


Becka liked this ride so much - she went on it 5 times on Thursday. I could only go 1 time & that was enough for me. I just can't take the spinning around all the time!


On Friday, we were so tired. we went back to the parks & went on a couple of rides that we really wanted to (I think this was the day I made her go on It's a Smal World with me - she was totally bored with that ride). We went back to our hotel at around 2:00 & Becka was content to swim until suppertime. We had a really good time & I'm ready to go again! Anyone ready?
