One last soccer picture for the year

Soccer season is long over, but we're too proud not to share this.  Ida was named U6 girls soccer player of the year by the Superior Land Soccer Assocation.  She was nominated as being the "most improved" on the team and won!  Needless to say, there was no question as to how she earned the nickname "Firecracker" half way through the season. 

First day of school

Ida's first day of 1st grade at Superior Hills.

Henrik's first day at St. Christopher's Preschool.

Run Disney--Labor Day edition (FINALLY)

Chad & Suzanne took a short trip (without the kids--SHHH they still don't know) to sunny CA to round out the "Coast to Coast" Disney experience in 2013.  Disneyland, CA has a much smaller and different feel than Disneyworld, FL.  Two parks, three resort hotels and everything within walking distance (15 minute or less walk).  This was the daytime view of California Adventure from our hotel window.

And the night view, which was even more spectacular during World of Color, with the accompanying music being piped into the rooms each evening (if desired).

 

California Adventure was a blast!

 

Saturday morning we ran the 10k through Anaheim and the two parks.

Then back to the parks for more fun!

 

 

And to Disneyland park!

 

 

And finally the 1/2 marathon.  With the time change, running and non-stop fun we were pretty tired by the time we got home but it was a great time!  Oh, and it was sunny and 90 every day--what more could a couple of Yoopers ask for in a weekend away?
