Red and White Dinner

This is Haley's Valentine Dinner creation; Fruit Pizza.
Haley has become an amazing cook and cake builder.
We are lucky to have her around and will miss her when she
heads off to college.



Every Valentines Day, we have a red and white dinner. This year we had pink dinner rolls with pink butter and red strawberry jam, pink pot roast and pink mashed potatoes with tasty pink lemonade to wash it all down. No one wanted to try the red beets this year so we snuck in some green beans with the white califlower just to be healthy.



Keith got me some beautiful red roses and the kids loved their treats from Grandma and pa along with the traditional Valentine balloons that they tie to their chairs. The tradition goes that the balloon that stays up the longest is the most loved child. It has been nearly three weeks and they are still floating high so we decided to set them free. It was fun to watch them fly away.

Disneyland Fun

Indiana Jones was amazing. Connor drove our jeep and got us around and through all the dangers without injury. We humored Keith and went on the Small World ride for the first time in many years. I think we were all relieved that we could sit a rest while we floated through the never ending chorus of "It's a small World."



Connors favorite ride was the new Buzz Lightyear arcade. It was an amazingly fun ride. We went through so many times, our arms were sore from shooting the targets.



When the kids were little, we literally ran from ride to ride, pushing strollers and hanging on to hands. We always were there when the gates opened and stayed until the lights went out. This trip went at a much slower pace and everyone was ready to head home before the park closed. We even had time to stop and enjoy the scenery. What's going on?
