Soggy Disney, the covered burp

Rachel and I have been super busy lately and blogging took a back seat. We have been very busy as a family. Between Aubrie's dance, piano, and school we have been running all over the place. We decided to head off to disney for a surprise for the kids. We pulled the kids out of school on Thursday and headed off to disney. The kids were very excited and we had a great trip out. We went with the Lorenzana Family and followed each other out. We stopped in Palm Springs at the McDonalds and let the kids stretch their legs and play on the play place. We piled back into the cars and made the rest of the trip driving through overcast skies. We got to the hotel and their was a lite drizzle. We were worried that there might be alot of rain. The kids got out of the car and were all very excited to get into the hotel. We had rooms right next to each other and the kids loved going back and forth the whole time that we were there. We all went to bed pretty quick the first night. Sophia had a hard time and discovered that she could get out of her portable crib and rather enjoyed it. She finally went to bed and the other kids started to wind down. We woke up the next morning and had powdered donuts and other food that is not good for you. We made sandwhiches this time and took food into the park. We had not done that before and it actually worked out much better. It was raining a little bit as we got on the shuttle for the park. We got to the park and got onto a few rides before it started to pour. Within minutes we were all soaked and miserable. We decided to head back to the hotel. Sophia was done and the kids didn't seem to care. We brought the psp and the nintendo ds so the boys were happy to go back to the hotel and play video games. The bus ride back was miserable, but it was nice to get back to the hotel and relax and change into dry clothes. I took the kids down to the pool and they had a great time playing in the rain and running around. Sophia got a good nap and Rachel was able to rest a little as well. The Lorenzana's came back a little bit later and we all headed to dinner. We went to Outback and had a great dinner. I told the waiter that it was Ethan's birthday and they sang to him. He really thought that it was awesome. We headed back to the hotel and had another night of the kids running back and forth and having a fun time. The next day at Disney was better. The weather was off and on, but we were able to have a full day and have a great time. The kids got to ride all the rides and Ethan got back on Tower of Terror and had a good time. He told me at the end of the ride that his heart was going BEEP BEEP. He wasn't too sure about it, but ended up going another few times.
We decided to go back Sunday morning and get a few more rides in before heading back. It was fun and we enjoyed the time together. We got onto Space Mountain and Aubrie had a great time, but forgot her purse on the ride. We didn't discover this until 10 minutes after we got off the ride. I ran back to the ride and went right up to the ride operator. They said that they would look for the purse. I waited and they came back and told me that they did not have any purse. I told them that I would check back later. Aubrie was devistated. We decided that we were going to leave so I ran back to Space Mountain. I got there and they looked again. They brought her purse out. The money that she had saved up was all gone, her glasses were broken and her change purse was also gone. Aubrie was very upset and couldn't understand why someone would do that. On the way out of the park we stopped at the store to get some things. One of the workers noticed that Aubrie was sad and asked what had happened. We told her the story and she asked us if we would like her help. I was not sure what she was asking. She asked me again if I would like her help. I told her yes and she started to walk around the store and replace the things that had been stolen or broken in Aubrie's purse. I could not believe what this woman was doing for Aurbie. She told us not to tell anyone what she had done. I was very happy to see that there is still kindness in this world and that people still care. Aubrie was very happy to have her things back and thanked the woman. The boys were watching all of this and were wondering if they could somehow benefit from Aubrie's misfortune. One of the other ladies decided to give them buttons. Boston decided that this was a trophy and proudly held up his button for all to see. We got out of the park and headed back to the hotel. We got in the car and then headed back home. The trip was great and it seems to get easier every time that we make it.
This week went very quickly. I have been working very hard to get caught up on all of my accounts knowing that I will be gone this next week for training for the new company that we will be starting shortly. Marco and I will have a fun time getting the crash course. We are both very excited. We are going to miss our families like crazy, but it will be well worth it. Today we got a lot done around the house. I took Ethan with me to Sams Club and noticed that they had wet s suits on sale. I bought some for the family and we had fun swimming in the pool and not getting totally killed by the cold water. Tonight I had a soccer game and Rachel brought the kids to watch. We had a great game and won 9-3. I was able to play and had a fun time with the kids watching. On the way home Ethan started yelling and told Rachel that he had finally burped and remembered to cover his mouth. We thought that it was pretty funny and we all got a good chuckle. We are doing well as a family and are very grateful for the gospel and the blessings that we enjoy.
