Finally!

After seven years of wanting to take the Grandkids to Disneyland, we finally went this past week. Joshua, 7 and Melissa, 5, were at an age where they really had fun and will remember the trip as they grow older. Kim, Wayne, Stephanie, Kevin and Wendy, Brian and I and Joshua and Melissa left last Saturday. We stopped in LA and visited Catherine, Mitch, Claudia and J.P. and Barbara. We had a nice afternoon visit but the kids were eager to get on to DLand, their first time there. We were able to go to the park that evening and then Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, coming home on Wednesday. The weather was beautiful the time we were there, only getting bad as we were leaving. Joshua was in the park for 16 hours on Monday, not bad for a seven year old. We took my electric wheelchair and it certainly made my trip so much easier. I was able to come and go as I pleased and get my own churros, etc. We put Brian in a wheelchair that people took turns pushing so that his visit was made much easier for him. He went on everything, even making Kim, who hates it, go on the Maliboomer. Brian keeps saying what a wonderful trip it was and he can't wait to go back. It is so much fun seeing Disneyland through little children's eyes, and the fact that they were our grandchildren made it so special. Wendy and Kevin haven't been there since 1995 and 1996 and were amazed at the changes. We went every year when they were growing up and they decided they were tired of going and didn't join us in later years. They were very excited to be going again and had a great time. We couldn't have gone without Kim and Wayne's help and we are so grateful. We even had a Brian Vestal sighting for two days. He is always a lot of fun and added a lot to our trip. For those of you not in the know, he does the Vonage commercials and has had some other parts in shows such as Prison Break. When I got out of my wheelchair to go on the Monster's Inc. ride, Brian started clapping his hands and yelling, "It's a miracle, she can walk!" leaving a lot of people laughing, including me. I plan on making the grandkids a scrapbook of our trip. The memories will last us a lifetime!
