Guess what? I actually managed the act of being spontaneous and flexible at the same time! Want to hear more?
(Of course you do).
Well, since you are just begging to find out (ha-ha), here it goes. There was an Air Force convention being held out in Anaheim, California from Thursday through Sunday last week. A few days prior, my good friend Denise came up with the fabulous idea that we should pack up the kids (she has two, I have my three) and catch a hop (for the unfamiliar, that is when you catch a free ride on a military jet) for a little mini-vacation. She figured that we could have some fun and take the kids to Disneyland for a couple of days while the men were at the convention. My immediate answer was no...an organization freak like myself thought it was too "short notice" to actually just pack up and go at the drop of a hat. But lo and behold, I reconsidered and said "what the heck!" - shocking! - and things began rolling from there. And to make it even better, our other close friends Keith and Reshon decided to join in on the spontaneity and fly out with their three rugrats...so you can imagine that we were quite a group! Here are some pics from our trip:
The kids posing before we got on the tram for Disney...don't let Isa's sweet face fool you, she was a wild child!
The boys mugging for the camera...I didn't know until later that we weren't supposed to climb on these rocks! Oops!
Isa and her Papi grinning on Main Street
One of the rides in "Kiddyland"...I ended up going on all of them
Try spinning around in one of these teacups and then standing up...I almost fell on my face!
'Nuff said...
Can you imagine having to be the one to plant this? If it were me, poor Mickey would be missing an eye and probably an eyebrow, LOL....
All in all, we had a kick-butt time over in Cali. Our pockets are a bit lighter but I must say, there are some things that are definitely worth it, and this was one of them. We got back late Sunday night, and I am completely wiped out. Though not enough to stop me from unpacking everything and doing a couple of loads of laundry before I went to bed. You know me, neurotic as always : )

What an awesome trip. Sounds so exciting and cool. Glad you had a good time...
How fun! Great job being spontaneous! (It's hard for me, too...but wonderful memories can be made when we give in and do it!) :o)
