Mischief

At 8:00 one day, Kobe and I got into icing sugar.

.
We spread it in a pile and then we got our lego trucks wet in an ice cream bucket and drove through the pile with our tires all wet. The icing sugar stuck to our tires and we drove them all over the room in circles.

.

.

When we were done, there were tracks of icing sugar all over the place.

.

.
Mom came downstairs and she was mad. We had to clean it up.

.
We won't be doing that again.

Going to Disneyland and California Adventure

I rode on the roller coaster at California Adventure and then went on Splash Mountain in Disneyland.

We went on Space Mountain, the bobsleds, It's A Small World, the Grizzly River Raft Run, Gadget's Go Coaster, Donald Duck's Ship, the train, the race cars, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Jungle Cruise, Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and Mickey's Fun Wheel. Mom was scared on that one because it swung back and forth, back and forth. We went to Honey, I Shrunk The Audience.

We saw Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Eeyore, Pooh Bear, Tigger, Lightening McQueen, Mator, Peter Pan and Cinderella.

My favourite ride was the roller coaster. It goes upside-down, fast and tips over on it's side. Dad said it goes 0 - 100 kms/hr in 4 seconds. It pushed me back in my seat. Dad didn't want to go on it, but I talked him into it.

Going Home

We were sick so we left Mexico early. It was not fun to be sick. I got a needle to help me get better faster.

When we were in Mexico we saw circus animals being pulled in trailers behind trucks. We saw zebras, giraffes, tigers and camels. We saw a circus tent.

We wento to Noah's birthday party at Peter Piper Pizza. There were all sorts of games. You could look into binoculars at a show, play air hockey, basketball and bowling. We got tickets for playing the games. You could trade tickets for prizes. I didn't use my tickets and then when we got to Disneyland, I looked and my tickets were washed in the laundry and scumpled up.

At the birthday party we had a pinata.

We saw houses that were made with tar paper. I felt bad for the children that lived there.

We had fun crossing the border. We got to see the Mexican army. They looked in our vehicle to make sure there was no dangerous stuff. The army helps the police. We saw some tanks.

Then we were heading on our way to Disneyland.

In Hermosillo in Mexico

We finally got to Hermosillo on Monday. We had so much fun. It took a long time driving. We stayed at 5 different hotels.

At the grocery store, I met a little boy. He asked me what my name was. I said, "Dylan". He asked me if I liked dinosaurs and I said yes. He asked me where I was from and I said Canada. I kind of remember his name, but it was a name that I thought was silly.

The weather is hot. It has been 40c.

We have met 2 missionary families. One has a 6-year-old boy and the other has a 5-year-old boy that turns 6 tomorrow. We are going to his birthday party.

I spoke Spanish on the telephone to Mr. Neufeld:
I said, "Hola."
He asked if my dad was there.
I said, "Si. Uno momento."
It was fun!

Day 4 Driving

We left Utah today and went into Arizona. It was hot. I touched a cactus while Mom took a picture.

We saw a dam and we saw a spring of water spraying up. I asked to go over across the dam. He said we're not allowed.

I liked the Grand Canyon. The view was perfect. God did a good job!

Day 3 Driving

By this sign it was a very busy highway.

In Utah there were 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 lane highways that we saw.

I saw overpasses and there were so many very close to each other and going around and up and all around. After we passed the overpasses, I said to Mom that I thought that those overpasses were 'Overpass World'.

I took 70 pictures of big trucks.

We saw a motorcylce. Motorcycles are Kobe's and Zane's and my favourite.

This is the USA flag. When the wind blew it the right way I took a pictures. We saw lots of American flags.

We saw some little holes in the rocks that animals had made to be safe. We also saw caves that were little.

Day 2 Driving

This is the truck we saw in our hotel yesterday morning when we were having breakfast. I showed Mom and she thought it was nice.




This was something I've never seen before. It's the borderline going to the USA. I took lots of pictures. We had to get our passports out so the guy could see them. He asked us where we were going and we said, "Mexico."



When Mom showed me this sign, I was so interested in what rattlesnakes were like. I've never seen one. I tried to look all over in the grass, but couldn't see any.




I had been waiting for the Idaho sign so I could take a picture of it. I didn't know that the Americans used miles instead of kilometres. My brother was kind of an American. He said 'ruf' instead of 'roof'.


Mom and Dad said we were good travellers.

Grannie & Papa - I have a big-truck picture to email you.
