Had a nice trip see you next fall...break.

I was going to wait until the end of Benji's fall break to post the pictures and stories, but I just can't wait anymore. We have had a fun break even though we all took turns not feeling very well. We were still able to get out and do some fun things.
On Monday we went to Disneyland. We didn't bring the camera, which is okay, we'll probably go back in a few days and we can get pictures then! Disneyland has taught Jordan a pretty funny trick. Whenever we are in the car and the street curves, or goes up or down, Jordan now shouts, "weeeeeee!" He is really starting to enjoy Disneyland. It makes Disneyland so much better!

On Wednesday morning we went on an awesome hike to a waterfall. Jordan had fun pointing out the water and bubbles as we were hiking, but had even more fun playing in the waterfall once we got there.


This last picture is just a sample of what it's like to hike in San Bernardino County. The area is breathtaking and beautiful, but is covered with graffiti.
Later that day, thanks to our great friend that agreed to watch Jordan, Benji and I were able to go to Hollywood for a date to see Jimmy Kimmel Live! The seating is first come first serve so people start lining up pretty early. Benji and I got there right before they starting letting us in so we weren't expecting great seats. As we got to the door the usher asked us who we were here to see. Benji answered, "Jimmy Kimmel!" The usher said, "that was a good answer." He lead us to the front row, right in front of the band. We had awesome seats! We didn't really care about the actors/actresses that were on the show, but it was still so much fun to be there! Check out Benji's blog to see pictures of us on the show!

Here we are waiting in line:

We had to check our camera in the front desk, so we decided not to bring out nice camera. I was shocked at how bad the pictures taken on our little point-and-shoot turned out. I forgot what our pictures used to look like. I tried to get a picture of the El Capitan theater where we saw Jimmy Kimmel, but they didn't turn out so great, but this is where we were!


After the show we went to Cold Stone for some ice cream. It was nice to enjoy ice cream without Jordan begging, "please. Please. PLEASE! PLEASE!! PLEASE!!!!" It was all mine. ;)

Every Thursday night Redlands has a market night. State Street is blocked off and local farmers bring their fresh vegetables and fruit to sell. There are booths and rides for the kiddies. It's like Peach Days in Brigham City, but every week. It's fun to walk around and look at the different booths, and get samples of the fruit the farmers are selling. Last night we stopped at Betty's Burgers. It's one of my favorite restaurants in the area. It's a cute 50's style diner, with good food. Betty makes an awesome burger. This picture made me laugh...yes Jordan has a Mccain sticker on his shirt.

Benji has been selling a lot of our old stuff on Craigslist during the break. He also found a new bike. It's a Schwinn and only 6 months old. The owner was so sad to see it go. He made sure to give Benji a few pointers on how to take care of it. Benji is so excited to not have to walk to school anymore and I'm excited that I get to spend more time with him during his lunch break, since it only takes a few minutes to ride home.
Well, I now know why I blog everyday. This was quite exhausting. I'm never waiting this long to blog again! It takes way too long. Phew!!
