Adventures in California!!! (In reverse because we're all a little !drawkcab)

Cali Baby!

We spent the morning with mom as we dropped some of the girls from the ward off at Girls Camp, Alisha as their adult leader, and we stole away to the tide pools in Cambria. Not much to see at high tide but it's still very pretty, and great for pictures!

This is one of my most cherished friends- in her 90's and still as sassy as they come!

WILDE REUNION-SKI TRIP 2009

Branden Bennett, Jordan Wilde, and Mitchell Vonasek riding the waves on their tubes playing King of The Tube. Jordan held on to Branden's tube and let go of his- and stayed like that for minutes! Mitchell- yeah, he didn't enjoy the ride so much, as obvious by the faces he made!

Oh those boys!

Kory, Dave, and Branden before they got thrashed.


Dave and Branden returning to the boat after a rough go at the tubing. Dave's first experiences at water sports left a good mark, he had a ton of fun.


If you were there you might have seen beach babes such as this. The little kidlets provided the adults with some hearty laughter throughout the trip. Honey, Shaelyn, and AJ could all be seen trying to figure out the whole "But I gotta go potty now mommy" situation, and Mason calling people "Dawg" was too much!

You also might have seen this type of activity.


Dave tried his hand at wakeboarding for the first time. I think it was his pride that got in the way. Shoot.

Or maybe it was just his first time, or MAYBE there was also a little technical difficulty???

The Newlywed, Not-so-Newlywed, and the Not-Wed games were a riot. Thanks to the Paul family who were the inspiration for us to do this, Steven for being MC, and Mom Bennett for the prizes! Another big thank you to all who participated for your good humor, and also to whoever brought the music of Christmas to the world- we have been blessed because of you!
"On the first day of Christmas...."
"I'm dreaming of a white.... relative?"

The world may never be the same.

Dad Bennett showing the ladies his skills on Ladies Morning.
Cuz girls (and boys) just wanna have fun!

The wind-blown women


McKenzie Vonasek sporting her skills and new style of suit. She is the guru of the
underwear-as-swimsuit fad. We'll soon see this go wild across the country.

You gotta do what you've gotta do, and if you gotta wakeboard,
you gotta wakeboard in whatever you've gottavailable.

Our fantastic boat driver
*Thanks Dad for all the fun!*

The Momma- her beautiful roostertail and gracious, yet unintentionally dramatic fall.


Eh, me. Glad I still got it.

Shaelyn Vonasek also with her mad skills.

Skinny mini Ashley Cardon out first on the glasslike water.
Ladies Day is the best!

Branden posing in his jammies.

Steven and Dave filling the innertubes, getting ready for a full week of fun, family, and frivolities.

Our three Biggest Looser winners
Well done all of you- you're and inspiration to all of us!

Dave making fresh-picked, fresh-sqeezed orange juice. Yummy!
This is one of the best things about going home!

Honey and Mason playing ping-pong in the garage

Grandma and Grandpa Bennett watching the big game.

Dave and Dad vs Alisha and Steven

We spent 3 days at Disneyland and California Adventure- OH SO FUN! We loved it! I had dreams about it for weeks, Dave had never been, and the whole family was there! We even shared the time with the Hockmans and the Corin and Tina Wilde families.
Us, Walt, Mickey, and Cindy's house.

Dave and I on the ferris wheel at California Adventures.
The Mr. and Mrs. Mouse

I tried to get everyone- we are on the submarine ride for Ninding Femo.

Mason Hockman is super strong!
"Ith bigger than cointh!"

"Go Switch-Flipper, GO!"

"Flip 'em gooooood SWITCH FLIPPER!"
Honey and Larry Hockman enjoying themselves at the show where we found out that Country + Rap = Crap, Tigger bounced on his tail to aviod stepping on Pooh, and that women in certain shirts should not be allowed to take a bow.

Billy Hill and the Hillbillies- of no relation, I am sure.

Waiting for the Tiki Room

The Goofs that we love!

Mom, Dad, and Alisha in lines at Disneyland

Branden, Dave, Amber, Alisha, Dad, Steven, and the Snake. Indiana Jones is a fantastic ride- so long as you don't get the rickety one!!!

Ah- My love!

Alisha and Honey-bunny

YAY FOR DISNEYLAND!!! SOOOO FUN!

    You are very intelligent. You already know therefore considerably on the subject of this subject, made me in my opinion consider it from numerous various angles.
    Its like women and men don't seem to be fascinated unless it's one thing to do with Lady gaga!
