Couple days later we headed to Disneyland. It was Jocelyn’s 1st visit there and we meet Corey’s parents (David and Shelly) there. It was a short day but nice. We arrived at about 8 am and left around 6 pm. Jocelyn did pretty well for a very active 21 month old.

One of Jocelyn’s favorite rides was The teas Cups. Rachel said she started to cry when the ride was over. However, she did find a door at the Mad Hatter’s House just the right size for her.

As Jocelyn loves to be spin in circles as to why her favorite ride was the Tea Cups. She also enjoyed the Carousal.

Thanksgiving Week

I had a very busy Thanksgiving week. The Saturday before we left early morning so we could make it in time for Williams Violin recital which he was so proud of himself. He wasn’t shy at all, he introduced himself and the song he was working on. Tuck a, Tuck a, Stop, Stop! On Sunday we went to sacrament meeting with Bethany’s family and got to see their Primary Program. Marie and William were participates. Monday, Aunt Nancy, Shala, and Justin came down to Clinton so, mom and Nancy could do grocery shopping for grandma and visitors for the week. We had pizza for lunch and than we headed down to Orem, UT to see Rachel’s family.

Tuesday we just hung out with Jocelyn while Rachel and Cory worked. We took her to the library for story time. That afternoon we met Dan’s family (they were staying at Genni’s parents) at one of the parks there in Orem. We than headed to a BBQ place for dinner and the boys went to a BYU Basketball game and the girls hung out at Rachel’s.

Thanksgiving Day Dan and Bethany’s Families joined us at the farm for the day. So, We had a house full 31 in all. It was a day full of horse back riding, feeding the horses, climbing the haystack, and eating turkey! Cory (Rachel’s husband) wasn’t able to join us because he had to work). We missed him. He did join us Friday though. Mom and dad left Friday morning. I was able to stay a couple of extra days because I decided to use my Southwest credits from cancelling my flight from the summer. So I used those and flew home Monday afternoon.

It was the same talk but completely different. Amazing how that works. Also Rachel and Jocelyn graced us with there love and smiles. Thanks Cory for letting them come down.
