Last month while Sunny's four oldest, along with Adam's Bailey, went to Hawaii with their dad, Sunny and Steve brought their "littles" for a quick visit.
Their Disneyland passes were about to expire and they wanted to get one more excursion in on them. Most people think Disneyland with the "under 3" crowd is torture, but Sunny and Steve thoroughly enjoy the chance to do this. They drove to California late Sunday and most of Monday, went to Disneyland Tuesday and Wednesday, did Sea World on Thursday and drove back home to Utah on Friday. They had a wonderful time. That will tell you why they can be such great parents to eight children!
Riley doesn't need any more decoration to be so cute!
I could not get Sam to look at me. He was fascinated by the Shooting Gallery and did not want to do anything else. Maybe he will be his Papa's boy.
Riley had a blast! She definitely outshot me.
The boys loved having their own guns and shooting!
Even Gracie goes right for the toys. They always route you through the toys and souvenirs when you get off the rides.
Entering California Adventure. This age doesn't need rides to have a good time!
Pushing empty strollers. Halfway through the second day and still smiling!
Papa plays with Charlie and Sam. Sam is slower to warm up than Charlie. We are glad to have this opportunity to be with these little kids. They are so fun.
Papa helps the girls out of bed. Riley is a very good big sister to Grace.
Jen made a better "Nana" than I did (well really aunt.) She read to the boys, played with Riley and spent some real quality time with them. She was really cute with the little kids. Sometimes I am too much Martha when I should be a little more Nana with my grandchildren. It is so hard to achieve the right balance. Everyone has to eat and the messes need to be cleaned. I don't remember my grandmothers, that I really loved, spending any time with me at my level and I don't want to be that way with my grandchildren, but that is where I am headed. I should take a lesson from Jen.
Adam has always loved this handful! It won't be long before they will only be able to be held one at a time.
Sunny and Gracie just out of the shower, getting ready to leave. Sunny is amazing the way she gets everyone dressed and ready and keeps their area organized and then packed when it is time to go. Again, she is made to be a mother of a large family!
Come again soon. We love you and miss you! I don't know when we will be in Utah again. These kids change so quickly, a few months makes a difference.
