Pictures! Too tired still to put words together. But we are happy and it was special and awesome. Wish I took pics at Neal and Stephanie’s, but also am happy that I left the camera and just hung out without it. Glad to be back home with my little man.
Rats – the pictures are all scrambled.
Playing SET in the hotel:

Watching green “plastic” army men
Riding the huge (non-rocking car) Mickey Mouse ferris wheel
Loved it!
The Anna and Elsa show in Disneyland was a hoot! One of my favorite parts.
These guys just wandered down the street and put on a show for us. They were fantastic!
The girls were invited into the front with the driver! Sooooo special.
Then a visit with Neal (no pics) and onto Legoland, the place of small lines, good rides for young kids, playgrounds and legos of course. Disneyland (without a bad crowd) beats legoland hands down, in my opinion, but Legoland was great fun!
All the kids were going to pose in the Lego lion until a sensor “saw” them and it roared. Then Anna plugged her ears and went in for a very short smile. haha
Dual weilder
Pirate! Eek!
Loved the rides that kids could ride alone on. So special for them!
Lol – ninja and princess?
These two make the most adorable thing ever.
After a roller coaster!
Little Nora
We met Emmet! (There’s a man in that suit)
“It’s as tall as me, mom!”
Glee
She looooooved this until it moved. Then she cried. haha
More cuteness!
Lots of fun building boats to raft!
The bouncing ride!
What we did while Maggie and Brian went on a roller coaster with a line.
We’re just a typical, atypical family in the Pacific Northwest. We homeschool, love Jesus and are learning as we go.
We have three beautiful daughters, born in 2007, 2009 and 2012 and two handsome sons, born in 2009 and 2013. (My sons are Bulgarian – arriving home in 2011 and 2017. If you’re curious about Bulgarian adoptions, I blogged about our experience.).
After learning about the need for adoptive families of children with disabilities, (and here and here) we began the process to adopt our son Jordan (who has Down Syndrome). He arrived home on December 3rd, 2011!. We were in process for Daniel (who has arthrogryposis) January-October 2017. You can see photos from our trips to Bulgaria by looking at June and Nov/Dec 2011 archives and May and October 2017.
Looks like you made many memories! Can’t wait to hear the stories.
