One of the perks of being senior missionaries is that you can ask for a few days off when family come to visit. Our son Jim and his family had made plans to spend a week at Disney World and President Anderson gave us permission to take three days to be with them. This was especially special for us because our youngest grandchild Colin was born after we were on our mission and so we had never been able to see him in person. Also they live in the Chicago area and so we do not get to see them as often as some of the other children and grandchildren who live in Salt Lake and Provo.

  

As I looked at the picture of the trolley and main street with the castle at the end, I realized it could have been taken 57 years ago when I went to Disneyland for the first time as a 17 year high school student!

  

Charlotte and Oliva liked to be with grandma and grandpa. One of the big things for the children was collecting the autographs of the Disney characters.

  

When we were waiting for the train to come in, a mother duck and 5 little ones came down the station tracks just when a train was about to come in. The station people hurried them along and they made it to safety before they were run over. When we were having lunch this adorable 14 month old walked up and seemed fascinated by Charlotte.

  

I took this series of pictures of Colin and his sippy cup! Good memories for sure

  

On the last day as we were getting ready to leave so we could make the 3 1/2 drive back to our apartment before it got dark, Olivia and Charlotte wanted to ride with us on the People Mover. After that we got lots of big hugs and Olivia did not want to let us go. On the way out I took a last picture of the castle. It was a cold day so Mary wanted to sit in the sun while we waited for the last bus ride back to our resort.
