CALIFORNIA

We went to California this July with the 65 Upward Bound people we work with in the Summer. So lucky Braylon has already been to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farms, Medieval Times and Huntington Beach. Too bad he won't remember any of it. Even though supervising 55 kids in California is hard Colby and I still had a lot of fun.

DISNEYLAND - its a small world!


IF BRAYLON COULD TALK... - this is the longest day of my life! What are we still doing here packed in this place like Sardines. This crazy park that you call The Happiest Place on Earth! The fireworks are scary, the people are pushy, and everyone is eating Giant Chicken Legs. Gross, where is my milk.
We actually went on a lot of rides thanks to our staff that would save us places in line and watch the baby.

MEDIEVAL TIMES

And Braylon thought the Fireworks were scary!! Pretty sure Colby was more excited than most of the Upward Bound Students to eat with his hands and see men jousting on horses and fighting with REAL swords.

HUNTINGTON BEACH

It was all fun and games until I got pummelled by a wave, that gently smashed my head against the bottom of the ocean leaving me with a concussion. Next time, I'll sit under the umbrella with Braylon. Besides the water was 32.5 degrees. Okay, we really did have so much fun Boogie Boarding and playing soccer on the Beach. Many of the kids we work with have never been to the beach. It was awesome to see them experience the beach for the first time.

- See the kids in the background shivering in the water even though its only up to their knees. yeah, That cold.
