| After about 3 inches of snow then a quick warming, we heard a really weird
sound on the side of the house at midnight. A tree heavy with wet snow tipped
over to the house. It woke up Alexa as this was right at her room. No damage
luckily, but it was a lot of work with the chainsaw (Thanks Neal!) and moving
the branches and wood into either the shed or the north forty. |

| The tree after being chopped down to size and before the hauling started.
Also our creek after a lot of rain. |
|
| Day One for vacation: the trip to Cali which included In-N-Out
Burger and made Dan quite happy. We got lucky and our condo faced Disneyland
and California Adventures. Unfortunately, there were no fireworks any night
our of stay. |
|
| Disneyland. All day. |
|
| California Adventures. We tried to hit the Tower of Terror
first, but it was having troubles. We did find a lot of characters and rode
most of the rides including the Maliboomer for the first time. It is a nice
rush. The Pixar Parade closed out California Adventures for the day so we
wandered over to Disneyland for some rides in Frontierland and ended with
the Fantasmic water show . This was our longest day at the park. |
|
| Day Three was again in Disneyland. We got to see some characters
and hit the good rides again. |
|
| Day four is back to Cali Adventures including a visit with
Mickey, some tasty snacks, and the Tower of Terror. Late afternoon was back
over to Disneyland to meet some Fairies and multiple trips on Splash Mountain.
|
|
| Last day of Disney fun. We tried to visit our favorite rides
just one more time and continue to find hidden Mickeys. Both were accomplished.
|
|
| Friday morning started with breakfast at Goofy's kitchen
so we could garner a little more character time. Then it was down to the
beach at Oceanside to meet Gen's good friend Theresa and her three kids.
Everyone enjoyed the sun and 80 degree weather enough to at least dip some
toes into the Pacific Ocean.

| Driving to the airport on which the kids commandeered the cameras.
