Johnson Family Reunion 2012!!!

Don't worry. We did some other stuff in August besides our trip to Disneyland.

We went to Fish Lake for the Johnson Family Reunion! 
(All photos taken from the blogs of Jess and/or Misty).

Do not stress about this picture. Especially don't stress about the fact that she needs glasses to accurately see her target...(the squinting is just to look cool...not because she's not sure if she's aiming at a child)

There were lots of Ranger rides (and rides on whatever this machine is) including a Ranger (and this machine) Treasure Hunt that was totally awesome!!!
June and Malea

Winnie and Tukker

Klive driving like his hair is on fire

Cousin Trailer Sleepover!!!
(Andrew and I weren't invited to the slumber party, probably because we're TOO cool)

Caulder and Tukker. I don't know. You tell me.

The Babe giving Klive some fashion tips. "I wear my hat backwards so people know how hip I am. But you don't have a hat. Here, wear this hoodie like a toga. That sends a message to everyone that you are indeed a fashion icon, schooled in the arts of The Babe." (Direct quote)

Jess and the girls in the "Mountain Man Hut."

No caption necessary for this good looking couple.

Everything I know about love I learned from Grandpa Kyle, you know, the obviously very affectionate man we see in this picture. He's clearly trying so hard to reciprocate Grandma Sarah's hug.

And of course, what else would we do at Fish Lake? Fish! Unfortunately, Andrew and I had to learn the hard way that if you want to catch anything you have to go with Grandpa Kyle. Better luck next year Randrew! (Randrew is cool, right? Like Brangelina?)

Disneyland 2012 (Part II)

We (The Rosenbaums) had a very busy, exciting trip to Disneyland. 

Andrew and I started preparing for our trip months ago by collecting all our change. A few days before we left, we took it to the bank and got it turned into $78.81 in cash. Oh yeah!


We rented a van and drove to Mesquite the first night. It started with a bang as the stroller fell off the top of the van onto the freeway. Ashlee promptly swore and commanded Scott to dart through speeding traffic (on foot!) to retrieve it. No exaggeration.

The next day we had a buffet for breakfast and hit the road. We didn't stop until we arrived at our hotel in Anaheim. 

We woke up early the following morning for Knotts Berry Farm. 
Here's Dawn and Mama Bauma, fighting the sun and ignoring Linus from the Peanuts Gang.

We rode on some awesome roller coasters, and ended up getting soaked on more than a few of them.


We made several new friends...most of them were pretty sleazy.

Knotts Berry Farm: The berries? Nonexistent. The fried chicken on the other hand? Very real and very delicious.

The next two days were spent at Disneyland and California Adventure. Scott is officially the Fast Pass Master. I don't think we had to wait longer than 30 minutes for any rides (including the new Radiator Springs Racer) thanks to Scott.

We made sure to do all of the classics while we were there including matching shirts, a family photo in front of the Mickey Mouse flowers, and turkey legs.
Eat it, Chance. Matchy Matchy.

True love...Caveman style

And of course Mickey Mouse ears!

Andrew and his mama. Hopefully Ash isn't too jealous on the sidelines.

We finished our vacation in St. George.
Breakfast at the Bear Paw of course! We're cute, right?

And Aladdin at Tuacahn (not Hairspray, though we do look good).

Let's finish with another picture of Max!



Disneyland 2012 (Part I)

Well, I've been to Disneyland twice this year. The first time was back in March with the Johnsons, the second just two weeks ago with the Rosenbaums. I'm thinking I'll try to blog about both, because I don't want the Johnsons' feelings to get hurt. Note: Every single picture in the blog was stolen from one of my sisters' blogs. I'm really bad at remembering to take pictures.
