The Flying Penguins team went undefeated throughout the first four games of the tournament!

Max told me after his first game on Friday morning that it was the most fun he had ever had playing hockey. When I asked him why, he said it was because he got so much playing time and it was so fun!

Meeting the Mouse

{B, Aria, Minnie Mouse, Kailey and Monet}

We were lucky enough to get to go to Disneyland on the same day as my sister Monet and her girls Kailey and Aria. They had spring break this week as well and came down to California on Saturday. We met up with them today and met Minnie Mouse!
Minnie gave Max a hug and let him kiss her hand!

Cute Max just blushed.

Max wanted his name on the back of his little beauties.

They wore them all day

Cousins: Max, Markus, Morgen, Kailey and Aria

Sisters

It was so much fun to have my sister with me all day, just like when we were little girls.

Aria, Max and Kailey had a great time together too.




Lotta Laughs!

The Ultimate Escape from Reality

...began yesterday morning at 6 a.m. with a flight to California...

and entering the ultimate destination to escape real life...

Disneyland!

If you had to schedule the most perfect day in your life,

and had unlimited funds,


where would you go

and why?


If you answered Disneyland, you are not alone


Over 600 million people have visited the park since it opened in 1955

The flowers are one of my favorite parts about Disneyland



"To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. ”
