We made our yearly visit to see the Mouse! A couple of Saturdays ago, we drove down to St. George, UT to start our trip. We spent the night there and then went to church in the morning. We also stopped to see the beautiful St. George Temple.
The Visitors' Center there is really cool. Daniel loved the display with copies of the Book of Mormon in tons of different languages.
When we got to California, we stayed where we always stay, at the Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites across the street from the Main Entrance to Disneyland. It may not be the fanciest hotel around, but the location is unbeatable. And the rates are reasonable, especially if you book a few months in advance.
Our friends who had never been to Disneyland met up with us on Monday morning so that we could show them the ropes. The kids especially had fun together. And I loved playing tour guide.
On Tuesday, we went to Sea World. Everyone enjoyed riding Atlantis, a big log flume roller coaster. We also liked meeting a variety of sea creatures.

| He also loved the giant playground that looked like a series of fishing nets. |
 |
| Of course, we stayed to see the Shamu show, late in the afternoon. |

| The boys wanted to see Shamu up close afterwards. |

And that's all for this entry. But that wasn't the end of our trip. . .

Excellent pictures! I enjoyed the ones of the Belugas and the ones of Shamu and the other Orcas. The book of Mormons were also Great! P.S. The picture of the St. George temple was also very beautiful!
