A Day in the Life of Daddy

We went out to the Camarillo Airport to watch Ken and about 15 other motors practice cone pattern skills. It was neat to see all of them together manuvering 500 pound motorcycles in tight figure 8s, stopping in a fraction of a second from 60 mph and weaving through cones no farther than 2 feet apart. I took Kolby and Hunter to watch. Another added bonus was the planes passing closely overhead on approach. I'm very proud of Ken. He did a great job.

We LOVE the Train!

Waiting patiently for our train.

We took a train from Anaheim to San Juan Capistrano a few weekends ago. We ate luch at Ruby's and 1/2 of us went to the mission and the other 1/2 went to the petting zoo. Then we hopped on the train back to Anaheim. This trip was very special to Kasey as it was the very one he and Grandma took often. We went with Grandma Barbara (my Mom's best friend) and her daughter Lisa and her 3 kids who are the same ages as mine.

Mission San Juan Capistrano

The kids and I went down to San Juan Capistrano 2 weeks ago to visit the mission. Kasey is in 4th grade and is studying missions. I was so excited that he picked this one because it is the one I visited and reported on when I was in 4th grade. I didn't remember how beautiful it was, most 4th graders wouldn't. Here are a few pix to show you the beauty and my 2 cute sons.

Sweethearts Ball

Kendyll and Daddy went to a Father-Daughter Sweethearts Ball tonight. They both looked fantastic. They had a great time. Kendyll said they had great moves on the dance floor.

This is Kendyll and her best friend Alissa.

The daper couple! I'm so happy to see Daddy and Kendyll making such great memories. Nothin' like a Daddy and his daughter dressed up and going on a date.

Ahoy Mateys

While we were in the OC we visited the Pirates Adventure Dinner. The kids had a good time. Kasey was chosen to ride in a boat around the ship. It was a good time but I think once is enough. It was a bit pricey. Been there done that!

The Happiest Place on Earth

We woke up on Sunday morning to start our 3-day trip to Disneyland and this is what awaited us.

But no worries... The Mitchell's pressed on and set out to Disneyland in the rain. It was a great day with very light crowds. We kept bundled up and walked on to almost every ride.

Our princess met another princess.




Kolby went on stage and sang a little song.

Daddy and the kids braved the roaring rapids and didn't get too soaked. (thankfully cuz it was chilly)

Our last day was clear and beautiful. We had 3 great days and thanks to Grandpa and Noni we get to go many more times this year!
