Frenchies and Disneyland

We were all very excited to see Joy, Clynt, Matthew, Isaac and Caleb - particularly Daisy who was SOOOOO happy to see her best friend from England

Even if they did do strange things. We took them to Sedona and visited Slide Rock, a natural form in the river you can slide down. A meltwater river, can we point out. Here's Clynt jumping into a deep pool just down from the slide (Gareth refused as it was only about 65F outside and had snowed a few days before!)

We also visited Scottsdale for some shopping, and found this awesome sculpture (and only after taking about 20 photos did we find the sign that said 'Please do not climb'!!!)

And then, DISNEYLAND! A 7 hour drive, crazy LA traffic and finally we got there.

'It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya,
It pours, man it pours'

How true.

We got on tons of rides without queueing which was fab, and the kids were amazing seeing as we were all soaked. The sun did come out some of the time, though

Disneyland is quite an intense place - we all went a little doolally (is Gareth laughing or crying?!?!)

Of course, in Arizona it was sunny and warm, and it was lovely to see Phil and Mags and the beautiful Skye, who stayed with Nigel and Sue. This is more like it (you can't beat a spot of quality English tea)...

And here's a lovely photo of our gorgeous girls:
