Air Supply - Guest Appearance!



Okay, I know many of you may be too young to understand the significance of this - but tonight at Savannah's performance in
Evolutions of Dance,
Graham Russel
of
AIR SUPPLY
made a guest appearance and sang
"I'm all out of love"
with his guitar. No, really. . . I'm not kidding!
Pretty cool, I must say!

Savannah was a little disturbed
because he interrupted the dance program.

Oh yah, Savannah did a good job too (I almost forgot).

Rick Robinson's MOVE!

Savannah was able to open for
Rick Robinson's production of MOVE!
They finished the show last night. AMAZING! Such a fun show - like nothing I have ever seen. Savannah thought she was in heaven. She was so excited to finally be on a stage again.



The stage was filled with fog and lights so when Savannah walked out on stage she thought there was a fire, but as a good dancer should, she continued out to her spot and did a FABULOUS job.



Don't miss the next production from VIBE
EVOLUTIONS OF DANCE!

California! - Last Day But Not Least

Okay - I know ya'll are probably getting so sick of my Cal pics but this was our last couple of days there. After an argument with Shaun about whether to go to Six Flags or Disneyland, I won - as usual. He is as difficult as most children when they don't get their way.

This was New Years Eve. We knew we would see crowds but after many trips to Disneyland we are pros. We know where to go and at what time so there is little waiting in lines. When we arrived, Shaun and Bo went into California Adv. and Sav and I went into DL. She was very interested in seeing Pixie Hollow and TINK & her friends, of course. All Shaun and Bo wanted to do was ride Tower and Screamin over & over & over again. I just enjoy the atmosphere, parades, etc. That evening the park gave away party favors and hats for the festivities. There was live music and DJs all over and it was pretty WILD!



We had the opportunity to go to the beach a couple of times during our trip. This was honestly what the kids enjoyed the most but it so cold next to the water. Bo has been to the Ocean in Mexico many times but this was Savannah's first time at the beach. She stepped out into the tide just to get her toes wet and the wave knocked her right over. It was very cute.

California. . .Winding Down.

DAY FOUR - We hit the I-5 and headed for LA, bad time of the morning because we hit stop and go traffic the entire way. What should have taken us at the most 2 hours, ended up being about 3.
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!
I remember going here with my family when I was young but it was nothing as I remembered. It was AWESOME! Such a great atmosphere, probably Bo & I's favorite. It was Grinchmas throughout Universal Studios so I knew there would be a sighting of the "green guy".


When we arrived the lines were outrageous! We were sooo sick of standing in line so Shaun decided to spoil us and bought the FRONT OF THE LINE pass. That probably saved us about 5 hours standing in lines. Anyone who knows Shaun well, knows that this was a huge thing for him to do - $$$. Thanks Shaun!
When Bo was about 3 yrs old, Grandma & Grandpa Jake decided to show him the movie Jaws! Ya, you heard me right. Nonetheless, right before our trip to Puerta Vallarta. Bo has absolutely NO FEAR, as most know, but he has this hidden fear of being in deep ocean water, hmmmm,
I can't imagine why. . .
Krustyland was a great ride. Unless, you ask Savannah. Scared the *(#@ out of her. Below, you have a pic of how excited we were before we went on the ride and then you have Shaun begging her to go on it again.
CITYWALK! Awesome.
Beats Downtown Disney anyday.

More California. . .

DAY THREE - LEGOLAND. Savannah was so excited for this day. She had been so sick the night before but thank goodness she began to feel better that morning. I was very surprised at how clean and fun this park was. Shaun and Bo also had a great time which was a little surprising because it's supposed to be for younger kids. It is amazing the see the things throughout the park that have been built with Legos. It was a warm day but that evening as the park was closing there was a wet mist or fog that rolled in and we were so cold we couldn't even stay for the fireworks.
But still a great day.






That night, we went to dinner at a true seafood restaurant. One of those where they have there own fishing boat and serve their fresh catch of the day.
It was at the end of the pier in San Diego next to the retired aircraft carrier.
Bo order a seafood pasta because he's not real fond of fish by itself. You should have seen his face when the waitress brought out his plate. She even asked him if he was okay because he looked so worried about what he was about to eat.
