Hiking without and with Mickey

Well I found some time to catch up on the blog so stay close because here we go. We went for two more hikes in the last week. We did Yucca peak with Ken and 15 others, it was a very strenuous hike and just a tad cool at the top. Thursday hike was Murray Peak "The North Face".

It took us 2 and a half hours to get to the top and another 3 hours to get back to the truck. It was a long but semi-enjoyable hike that was enjoyed by all.
Michelle arrived at the Palm Springs Airport on Friday night the 19th. We headed out on Saturday morning for three days in Disneyland. Yup  doesn't everyone take their kids to Disneyland? We hit the ground running and according to Junes Pedometer 55 kilometres and three days later we were done, in more ways than one.

 I think they got wet!!!!


This sign just tickled my funny bone.

We got park hopper passes so it was back and forth between the two parks, fast tracking rides as we could as it was extremely busy. You can't complain too much about the crowds if you go to Disneyland just after school is on a break and its 5 days before Christmas.

The Park is quite spectacular after dark. The hydro bill must be something else with all of the lights. We sat through 2 parades and one of the greatest fireworks shows we have ever seen. We arrived at the park by about 8:30 every morning and left around midnight. Michelle kept us going from ride to ride and we did them all multiple times. Kelly is not to sure about Space Mountain, something about not being to brace himself for the next turn.
We left Anaheim buy 9:30 am and headed back to Desert Hot Springs to pick-up the trailer and then headed for Mesa Arizona. Linden and his parents were visiting his other grand parents so we decided to get in on the deal. We arrived around 6pm on the 23rd for a week long stay. There will be one more post before the New Year. Thanks again for reading this and we hope you have a great holiday season.
