Today the rain started about 12:30 and has been coming down ever since. I was going through some boxes that I need to organize and I found one of my old journals. Inside this journal I found these.

My mother lived in California and went to visit her and decided to go to Disney Land. This was back when a trip to Disney was simple. Buy a ticket, stand in line to get on a ride, if you have to leave, get your hand stamped. Now it seems so complicated with the fast passes and wrist bands. I miss the simpler time. This was also the trip where our then 2 year old daughter was obsessed with Mickey and Minnie. We had great seats for the parade and Mickey took her by the hand and danced with her down part of the parade route. As soon as she returned to us she started stuttering. When we got home we took her to her pediatrician and they said is was from being so over excited and that it would go away on its own. It took about a month and she still remembers the parade to this day.

Also a rainy day means comfort food. I gave the kids a choice and they unanimously chose breakfast for dinner. Jackson especially loves waffles. So we had waffles, eggs, bacon and sausage. Not too healthy, but really good. That $5 waffle maker was one of the best purchases ever.

Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny. Fingers crossed.
