25th Anniversary and my Birthday

Steve and I celebrated our 25th Anniversary in August, but as part of our celebrations we did the Grand Canyon...which you know was the most grueling experience of my life! But Steve loves it, so that is ok. So this last week we spent a week at Disneyland, which is my favorite place in the world. I love it there. It was a win-win type thing for us this year.
On Saturday, the 8th we drove to San Diego to check out some places for the big Shumway Reunion that we are in charge of this year. Then on Sunday we went to church, then went to the Mormon Battalion. You need to see it, the Church has done an amazing job! After that we drove up the coast, stopped at Oceanside for lunch at an awesome place called Grubby's, and then continued to my Aunt Maxine's who lives in La Harba. She had pie waiting for us. I love her. She has always been so nice to me and I wouldn't go to California and not visit. Unfortunately we lost my Uncle Dick last Spring to Cancer and she is now living alone, but she is doing great and I am proud of her.
After that we drove to Burbank to visit Bill. We spent all day with Bill and Melinda on Monday then went to my niece Hannah's volleyball game that night. Later we drove down to Anaheim.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we went to Disneyland! Awww...just to be able to go and do whatever we want for 3 whole days in Disneyland was the best thing we have done in a long time, and Steve was a fantastic sport about it. We went to see every show, ride every ride that we wanted to and go in every little shop and building we wanted.
If you have ever been to Disneyland and haven't experienced some of this action, then shame on you!  These guys are hysterical!

We also loved the parade...everything Disney does is so good. Those drummers at the beginning were amazing...right?!

Anyway...that was our trip and we loved it.  Steve and I just laugh when we are together. Laugh and laugh and laugh...so fun!
