My sisters Nancy and Janet drove down from Idaho and Utah for the long weekend. She arrived Thursday night and left Sunday night. We had a full and fun weekend. I was so excited for them to come and visit. On Friday we went and watched the movie Leap Year while Talia and Tucker were at school. It was a cheesy chick flick and we loved it! We drove to the beach after the kids got out of school. We went to Huntington Beach again. We need to go and explore some new beaches. It was a little chilly but Talia, Tucker, Nancy and Janet all got in the water for a short time. The waves were a little too big for Talia and Tucker to boogie board. We built a sandcastle, looked for seashells and played volleyball. Although it was a little cold it was very enjoyable and so beautiful. After the beach we drove to Irvine and met Trent to go to dinner at the kid's favorite restaurant Soup Plantation (also known as Sweet Tomatoes).
Saturday we spent the day at Disneyland and California Adventure. The parks weren't very crowded and the lines were all pretty short. We were able to go on lots of rides including Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Matterhorn, Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Tower of Terror (that is funny story), and Screamin. Nancy and Janet were scared to go on the Tower of Terror and they made it very entertaining for everyone else in the elevator. The funny thing is that they ended up liking the ride and would go again. We all went on the Screamin roller coaster and it made Tucker and I a little sick. We also took a quiz to see which Disney characters we were: Trent was Hopper from Bug's Life, Talia was Dot from Bug's Life, Tucker was Aladdin, Janet was the Mulan, and Nancy was the Queen from Snow White. We also learned how to draw Goofy. The weather was a little cold but there was lots of sunshine and I think that the weather probably kept the crowds down. It was a very good time to go to Disneyland and it was so fun to go with Nancy and Janet.
Sunday they went to Stake Conference with us. We played Band Hero and Whoonu Sunday afternoon. We also made spudnuts and they were delicious. Thanks so much for coming to visit us. We had lots of fun. Come back in February for the next long weekend!

I'm glad you posted - no pressure or anything =). I'm excited to come - are we going to the beach? I want to take my kids back to Disney World but i can't talk Mike into the long drive again... I loved the Disney Characters - I'm still laughing over Nancy being the witch in Snow White!
Looks like you had fun! I'm excited to see you in California too. I just hope this baby of mine is good so we can still have fun with him! Oh and by the way President's Day Weekend is in February...haha.
