Round Two

This might become a Disneyland blog because basically it's all we do... Saturday equals Disneyland day!  Eventually we might explore other parts of this city, but for now we are perfectly content to spend every weekend at Disneyland. On Saturday we were planning to spend just a few hours there, but we ended up staying from 9 am - 9pm. We were just having too much fun and couldn't leave, plus this time we managed to keep Milo dressed the entire 12 hours! Milo is starting to figure out what the rides are all about and he seems to be a little less afraid of the indoor rides. He loved Dumbo and Cars Land. We also took Milo to meet a few characters, he loves them from a distance but when we get close he is terrified!

Happiest Place on Earth

I've been begging Jordan to go to Disneyland since we first got married, I love Disneyland! ... and now that we are living in LA we got season passes, so my dreams are coming true in a big way. We met up with our friends Maggie and Ted at the park last Saturday. It was fun to take Milo, but he doesn't watch movies so he literally knows no Disney characters. He kept just calling Mickey "mouse" when he would see pictures of him around the park. So we will have to try and get him more acquainted with the characters so we can experience that part of the park with him. He didn't really like any of the rides that took him inside the dark (Pirates, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Alice in Wonderland) but he loved the Tea Cups, Jungle Cruise, and of course Autopia. We didn't go to California Adventure this time but I am sure he'll go nuts over Cars Land. Milo fell asleep in his stroller while we were walking around the park and while he was sleeping his diaper leaked, yuck! I changed him and took his pants off, we thought about buying him some pants at the park but I couldn't spend $30 on the cheesy options that were available so we kept it classy and let him ride Autopia and It's a Small World with no pants, then we headed home. We are already looking forward to going back this Saturday, and this time I'll pack an extra set of clothes in the car!

Flake Family Circus

Down the street from Jordan's parent's house is a Trapeze school, called TrapezeU. We've driven past it hundreds of times and always said that we should try it. So the Monday before we moved we gave it a shot. Jordan, Erika, and I signed up for trapeze school. At first we felt kind of silly and a little afraid, but it was AMAZING! We had so much fun and it turns out the Jordan is a natural circus performer.

California ... Here We Come!

With graduate school over ... it's time for us to move on to the real world. I don't think that either of us ever really thought about moving to California, it's been 13 years since the last time I even visited. I always kind of thought that we would end up staying in the Phoenix area. There was an opportunity to go back to Peru for six months, which we were really excited about and hoping to be able to do before Jordan started working, but the timing with the new job just didn't work out. They needed him to start right away. So we left Milo with Jordan's parents and spent this weekend in California looking for a place to live. We found a cute little apartment/condo on a cute tree lined street in North Glendale... which is kind of funny because we are basically moving from Glendale, AZ to Glendale, CA! Now we are ferociously packing and preparing to move, California ... here we come!
