Before Disneyland

Paul was able to go to a preschool at Orem High with Jocelyn, Afton, Logan, and Gabe.  Brown babies were everywhere!

 Aunt Lexie is a kid magnet

 Paul got to ride a real horse, thanks to Cory

 Then Sam's turn - he had never ridden a horse in a field before - only in a circle at the fair

 Liz competed in Dixon's Got Talent - she rocked it!

 We stayed at Bishop's house in Murietta - "Look Mom, human pyramid!"

 Long story short - we spent the day in the parking lot/playground after the van overheated on the way to the beach. SO blessed to have shade, a playground, and a grocery store instead of being on the side of the road.

 Cute kids

 Silly faces

 Liz worked on her planking

 So did Sam

 Paul was too worried to do it the right way

 We couldn't ride in the car, so we tried to make the caterpillar take us to the beach - it didn't.

 Jared had flown into LA and stayed a day or so with Jill.  We were planning to meet them half way, but since we had no car, they had to drive all the way to Murietta in horrible traffic.  Thanks Jill!

 Sunday we spent walking around and visiting the park

 Paul's love affair with corn on the cob Monday when we stopped for lunch after the van was fixed, hooray!

 This is actually after Disneyland - we finally arrived in Mesquite at 4 am after leaving Disneyland late, then limping along after overheating repeatedly from Anaheim to Mesquite.

There was a little league baseball team at our hotel, so Sam played pool football with them - and was voted hardest to get the ball away from.
