We headed for Disneyland at 9:00 am.  First stop was The Rainforest Cafe!  Good groceries and good fun!

Disneyland was “empty”. We walked on every ride we wanted to see.  The weather was perfect.  We did the Jungle Cruise Ride, Indiana Jones, Pirates, River Boat Cruise, Thunder Mountain, Submarines, and  Star Tours with very little “waiting”.

We departed Disneyland at 4:00 and headed to Whitter for a family get together! We had Connor and Marrisa, Joe and Amy with Alex and Charlie, Robin and Bib with Nick, Jon, Little Lisa, Zack and Becca with Lilly, and us. We celebrated Connor’s birthday while we were at it.  We had a lot of people and a long table so we missed visiting with the other end but enjoyed Amy and Robin and Little Lisa with Zack and Becca!  Please join the fun!

The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you.

Fun with the family

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
