Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays everyone. I decided to publish the family Xmas card here. If you're reading this, chances are you've already seen the card. I wanted to also show the original.

Here is the card:

Did all of this using PhotoShop. Yes, everyone is posed.

Ry Ry Learns to Read

So my dad sends the kids a thank you card for the birthday present they got him earlier this month (some glof shirts and golf balls). This is Ryan "reading" the card to me. His sister read it to us first, so he decided to take a crack at it.

"Harabugi" is Korean for grandfather. It's what the kids call him. "Halmoni" is grandmother. Apparently we also got him some "golf sticks" and a "golf bag"...the airport reference has to do with the fact that we were taking him and Halmoni to the airport the next morning. That also appears to have magically found its way into the card. Must be in special secret invisible Harabugi ink, that only Ryan can read.

Another Magic Kingdom Run

The family went down to Southern California this past week to spend three days at Dineyland. The kids love it, I'm starting to grow more tired of it. I think I have Disney fatigue.

We went from temps in the high 70's on day 1 to wet and mid 50's by day 3. We decided to go midweek to beat the crowds, but the lines were actually worse on Wednesday. By Friday, they were manageable, but the rain overnight probably had something to do with that.

We hooked up with our friends the Holdens, who were also down there for the week.

Here is a video I shot of Ry on the Tower of Terror ride. This is a simulated elevator that shoots up 10 stories, than bounces from floor to floor. No need to correct you monitor...the first few seconds are dark, because we're in a pitch black elevator shaft. Best viewed with sound. When the light shines on his face, we're at the 9th or 10th floor, where a door opens, looking over the entire resort. I think that's when he realizes how high he is...
