The "Merriest" Place on Earth

I figure I better hurry and blog about our trip before Christmas has come and gone and I am even farther behind.

We took the family to Disneyland for part of their Christmas present...thanks Grandma Wood...a>
We ( read Kara ) have always wanted to go during the holidays and it worked out perfectly this year. We went with some good friends that have never been before. It was fun to see everything throught their eyes.

We had a fantastic tour guide, Julie ( if I do say so myself ). The kids had so much fun going on rides over and over. Screamer was the family favorite, except Travis who wouldn't go near the thing! Yes, we were the ones escorted from the coaster because someone was crying so hard, and yelling he wouldn't do it before even getting buckled in.

We all love Disneyland and had a great time! Thanks Muhlestein crew for coming with us.

Synchro starts again

Kaylee had her first meet of the year on Saturday...sorry no pics...and she did great. This year she has to swim in the 13-15 advanced age group, so she is at the very bottom of the heap. But this certainly didn't stop her. Kaylee placed 10th out of 47 competitors. Since she missed half of November practices, we think this is pretty great. She was thrilled.
Several of my nieces swim too. One got 10th out of 20 in the 9-10 advanced, one got 3rd in 8-under novice, and one got 1st, one got 2nd in 8-under advanced. Must be something in the Nichols blood that makes them swim like fish!! We are all proud of these great girls!!
