Our California Trip 08!

Corbin, Scott, Taylor and myself went to Southern California the first weekend in March to watch the Drill Team from Moses Lake, which Kendra is a member of, particpate at Nationals in Anaheim. We left 2 days earlier than the drill team so that we could do some sight seeing. Our first stop was SeaWorld, where I have not been for quite some time. Scott and Taylor had never been there. Lots of fun! Stephanie and Kritt met us the next day. They drove with some friends from Provo to get here. The airplane was much faster!! The day after they arrived we went to Universal Studios where Corbin, Kritt and Taylor have never been. Lots of fun there
as well. Our favorite ride was the Mummy ride! Pretty scarey, except the Haunted House was scarier. Stephanie and Kritt took Taylor out. I should of gone with them. I don't like people dressed up in scary costumes jumping out at you and at Universal Studios, they looked pretty
real!
Poor Taylor, though. Our hotel that we were staying at, the Sheraton, where the drill team also stayed, was about a block away from Disneyland. We were on the 9th floor and had a great view of the adventure park. Taylor was a little frustrated that she could see Disneyland, but that we did not take her there for the first 2 days. Once we got to Sea World and then Universal Studios, she had a great time, but kept asking us when she was going to go to Disneyland. She could see it but we weren't taking her there. Poor thing. It was like putting M&M's in front of me and not letting me eat them! She was pretty excited for the day when we told her we were going to Disneyland and was a trooper with all of the walking we had to do. Good thing for new hips!! Last time I was here was two years ago with the Drill Team and I had not had either hip replaced. I was pretty miserable and probably not alot of fun for Corbin! Thanks for putting up with me, hon!
Taylor was also a trooper concerning the rides. She never wanted to go on any of them because most of them scared her, but she would go. We had to sometimes literally push and pull her onto the ride and she usually kept her head down for most of them, but she would go. We would throw a few rides in and then let her go and see some characters or do something that she wanted to do. She was always asking if the ride was going to get her wet or if it was scarey.
She was pretty brave, especially not knowing what was coming up next. She was a pretty good screamer, too, but so was I! We sure missed the Walters and the Rasmussens! Next time!
