Finally on the third try Carson got picked to train as a Jedi. He got to fight Darth Maul!

Carson took it quite seriously--he was very intense.

Maggie got her Libby Lu makeover because of great advertising,

and mommy being a big push-over!

She loved it, and it was well worth it!

Halloween time at Disneyland was crazy, but still fun. We met many pincesses, pirates, and villians.

More California

The kids were very disappointed we didn't get wet even thought we sat in the "SOAK ZONE." At least they loved the Shamu show, the sharks, and the ocean.

We finally did the Southern California thing! Great fun was had by all. Our kids had a lot of firsts... first airplane ride, first time to the ocean, first time to Disneyland, and many more.

We went to a pirate dinner show. It was entertaining, and the kids really got into it. They got really good at posing and giving their best ARRGH!
