Our Disney vacation was awesome! The boys had an amazing time with Grandma Gretchen and the cousins. We did 2 days at Disney World, 1 day at the Animal Kingdom followed by a 7 day cruise on the Disney Fantasy to the eastern Caribbean.

One more day till our Disney Vacation!! Grandma Gretchen arrived Friday to help us on our trip to Florida. The Boys are super excited! I have to admit, I am too.

Unfortunately we miss the start or baseball/tee-ball season this weekend. Jake and Tyler are winding up practices and getting their uniforms.

Jake had a race today. It was out at a track in the mountains East of San Diego. It was rainy and extremely windy. Jake did well getting 4th and 2nd in the two classes he races. I am just happy we didn't have any crashes. During the rain the track was as slick as ice. Jake had fun though! He is bummed he will miss a race while we are on vacation, but agrees it is worth missing a race to go to Disney World/Disney Cruise with his cousins!
