Are you guys Mormons???

On our first day at Disney California Adventure we spent about 2 hours waiting for a 'Lightning McQueen' ride so it was a very very long time for most of us especially Daniel.  We sent a few children off to do single rides here and there to make it more interesting for them but it was a very long wait.  I really wanted to do this ride for Daniel and have a family experience together.  We played a few games in line and had lots of munchies and quite a few people talked to us as we had a our AUSTRALIA tee shirts one with TEAM ELLIS on the back.  So everyone wanted to know what Team Ellis meant.... The best family ever!  Anyway one family leaned over the railings and asked if we were Australians...ah yes!  And then wanted to know if we were Mormons and I was like YES!  How on earth did you guess that?  - She mentioned we looked happy and excited together and our tee shirts made us look like a great joyful family.  Wow that made me feel good...to be recognised as Mormons when we weren't really in an ideal situation.  I also felt like we must be doing something right as a family!  Obviously not everyone can afford to take six children on a memorable trip to Disneyland and General Conference but I am hoping the time and effort Jason and I have spent to get here will really help us cement a loving family built upon the teachings of Jesus Christ and help our children understand our family is forever.

  1. That's so cool!! You guys must've been saving up for ages to do such a wonderful trip with your family. I'm sure they'll never ever forget it.
