Happiest Place on Earth

Growing up our options were a sailor hat or plain black mouse ears you could have your name stitched on.... times have changed!

A few weeks ago we went to Disneyland with the Pace family.  We had such a fun time!  We were there for all the Halloween decor.  Pumpkins were everywhere, the Haunted Mansion was decked out in The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Space Mountain had spooky effects.  We stayed at the Grand California... what an amazing hotel!  We spent a couple hours exploring the place and the details are incredible, plus we were steps away from the parks.  Some of our favorite things were:

Matching Mickey Mouse shirts

Eating Monte Cristo sandwiches at Cafe Orleans

World of Color

Riding Splash Mountain at midnight (we were soaked)

Frozen Bananas

Stuck on the Vegas freeway for 2 hours

Tower of Terror

Shopping Mainstreet

Bountiful Harvest

This year we decided to attempt our first vegetable garden.  We teamed up with some of our friends and purchased a 5x20' plot

at our Ward's garden site.  We grew green beans, basil, parsley,

6 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, and spaghetti squash. We weren't sure how much success we'd have, but it turns out

we hit the motherload! These pictures only show a small portion

of our pickins'.  We ate caprese salad for two weeks and 

nothing could beat the fresh flavors.  We love Fall and the 

bounty of food it brings!
