Grandpa Smith

We lost Grandpa (Great grandpa) Smith last week.  It was a tough week to get through.  Grandpa was in the Navy during the war.  The Military honored him with a very good service. It was interesting to watch. 

 

 I have decided that even though we have had to deal with so much death within this last year, it never gets easier.   It's especially hard to explain it to a 3 year old.  As I was laying in Bridget's bed with her last night we were talking about all our family that has left this earth life and is living with Jesus now.  After each person, she would say, and who else?  I thought about all the people that I didn't get the chance to meet in this life, and how one day we will get that opportunity again.
I hope that everyone else still on this earth is healthy and remains safe... cause I don't know if I can get through another death anytime soon.

The Land of Disney

We took the girls to Disneyland last week which Bridget LOVED!  It was deffinatly a great trip for Her!  She turned into a true Princess over nigh,t it seemed like!
Our first day there, we went to California adventure since we were going to have to be there for the Character Dining and 1.  We hit up the Toy Story 3D ride, the Mickey ferris wheel, and the Bugs Life area.

We then headed to Ariel's Grato to meet the Princesses at lunch.

 Bell took Bridget and taught her how to dance as if she was going to a ball.

We had to stand in line to meet TinkerBell and Tageled's Rapunzel and Flynn Rider... (Not so fun for Jessica)

 Yes I love this picture, but it also made me very upset that I HAD to stand in line for and hour and then she didn't even want her picture taken.  

So after all that I decided that lines weren't worth it, and if we saw the characters, throughout the park, then we would just run over to them...  

And that's just what we did.

While waiting for Crystal, Steve, and their boys to meet up with us Bridget danced for the passerby's.

Then we headed over to Autopia

 Then back over to the Ferris Wheel (It was a favorite for us)

We went back over to Bugs Life's "It's Tough to be a Bug" 3D experience. Bridget Hated it and ended up not sitting through with the cousins cause she was scared of the Spiders that came down from the ceiling, the bee that stings you in the back, and the maggots and cockroaches run under your butt! 

It was a fun week, but I'd say that 3 days is deffinatly enough!
