Disneyland

Owen wants to go to Disneyland....."SO BAD"

Not because he has friends that talk about it, or because he wants to meet the infamous Mickey Mouse.

He wants to go because he watched an old home-video of when I went. It has him totally memorized with the place.

Luckily I want to go back too.

Cinnamon

Wow. Things around here have really been busy. But fun busy... so fun I don't want it to quit! I have a lot of catch up to do, but for tonight I'm just going to post some pictures of the black bear we saw in Grand Teton National Park while we were camping up there. He wandered right into our camp and then we watched him for about 15 minutes. The rangers affectionately named him Cinnamon for obvious reasons. He looks a lot like the bear Jeff and I saw a year ago up there. And yes, he really is a black bear. Thanks Greg for posting more pictures of the trip on your blog!

p.s. I just picked up Breaking Dawn from the library. Mmmm... there is nothing like cracking open a new book: the smell, the feel, and of coarse the story.
