California : Travel

by Leave a Comment

During our whirlwind LA trip for Victoria and Brian’s wedding, we made sure we had a little time for play. ;)

As much as I love having photos from our travels, when we only have a day or two to ourselves, I often ask Nate to leave the camera in the hotel. I find that in a new-ish place (especially Disneyland!), there’s no way I like “exploring” more than just hand in hand with my love taking it all in, not stopping all the time for photos. I realize this means I should lose my “photographer’s license” for saying that, but it is what it is. :) Anyway, here are a few favorite frames from our park day with a camera. :)

Disneyland’s Fantasmic is my faaaaaaavorite! I could watch it over and over just for this one scene! It really showed what a badass Peter Pan is! Do you see him in the left photo? Loved it. :)

We were so excited to finally see our buddy Patrick’s puppet workshop- the Swazzle headquarters! ‘Twas magical.

Patrick showing us how one of the puppets moves. :)

We got to see them building puppets for their (then) upcoming Halloween show!

Patrick’s nephew, Buddy, stopped by the workshop to visit his dad… I can’t even fathom how cool it would be to grow up with a puppeteer dad!

Love those eyes!

Holiday Recap Part 2

Continued from Holiday Recap Part 1!

I swear we have the cutest friends. :)

I think Nate would have been an amazing gymnast had he’d been given the chance! I don’t know anyone else that would not wipe out from this sledding mishap :

FAVORITE : Nate’s “sledding smile.”

We also saw my Dad for the first time in two years. I’ll never let it go that long again!

Went to the most intense cookie decorating event I’d ever seen and met my step mom’s family :

My masterpiece – It’s a Scottie dog wearing a plaid sweater, clearly!

Dad took us to an MD-11 Sim… My first one since I was 12, and Nate’s first one, ever.

For the first time, I almost landed! It wasn’t pretty, but Dad said we would have walked away from it. And as Dad always told me, “Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing!” :) Nate, however, took to it like a fish and water… I see potential flight lessons in his future. :)

Huck was not a fan of one of our Christmas gifts, “Racing Grannies.” Clearly, that means we’ll be taking video of it soon enough! ;)

One of our brides wrote me on Facebook and asked what sports jersey Huck was sporting all winter – He was wearing a reindeer costume! I’m a little sad the cute hood didn’t show up in 95% of our photos, though!

We went to Indiana to spend the couple days before Christmas with the rest of Nate’s family. December was officially Huck’s favorite, ever. I don’t think he’d been around so many different people in such a short amount of time before!

Me and my lovely sister-in-law waiting for present time…

Yes, we gave her Minnie Mouse ears. :)

Huck’s single favorite moment in December : I let him try peanut butter. :)

I hope YOU all had equally wonderful holidays! :)
