Remain seated at all times...Permaneser sentados por favor...

On April 2nd (happy birthday, Ryan), the entire Biehn family (sans Scott who was stuck in a meeting in Phoenix) got together and went to the Happiest Place on Earth....Disneyland! Jeff and Carolee were here visiting from Pennsylvania and wanted to go to Disneyland so Jeremy's dad was able to find two people to sign in their family and ours. Jeremy's parents and Norm and Kris and the kids all have passes so they were able to join us and Michelle made a surprise announcement that she and the kids would be driving down from Utah to go as well. It was so nice to have (almost) the entire family together! We had so much fun and thanks to some brave grandparents (thank you Norm and Lynne) we were all able to go on "big kid" rides together while they sometimes watched 3 to 5 small children. It was a blast and by the end of the day we were all exhausted! Here's our small part of this giant family.... The last time we tried to take the girls on the merry-go-round, they HATED it but I guess they've gotten a little older and a little braver. Here's Tessa with Grandma Biehn showing what a big girl she is!

Here's miss Natalie with Daddy and I think the smile says it all! It makes me want to get a pass again just to take them back and ride the merry-go-round (yes I know there is a Merry-go-round in South Coast Plaza).
Here are all the cousins together again (sorry Tay, I chopped off your head...that's what happens when short people take pictures). We had to give the girls our cell phones to make them stay on the bench so they are more interested in those than in smiling for the camera :(
It was a fun day and we really enjoyed being able to see those who we don't get to see often anymore. I'm sure it will be a long time before we're all together again :(
