While our family does serious research at Disneyland, our crew back home keeps working hard to create the magic in the shop. I received this progress picture this morning. Apparently, the Kraken has come to life and threatens their very existence. I should be worried, I guess, but it looks like a typical day there, and I’m sure they will get a handle on things eventually…..
Coastal Enterprises DINO delivered!
No trip to Southern California would be complete without a visit with Kellie from Coastal Enterprises, who supplies our Precision Board High-Density Urethane. They have been a supporter of the Sign Invitational since its inception and of our workshops prior to that. I try to do at least one sample sign each year that they can use at their trade shows. Generally, the sample piece is shipped, but packing it into a checked bag and bringing it with us on our trip to Disneyland was a much more economical option. Best of all, I could present the sign to Kellie in person. Janis & I enjoyed a leisurely lunch with her while we caught up on the latest family news. The Sign Invitational at the International Sign Association EXPO is now only five months away and will happen in Las Vegas in March.
Light saber triumph
It has been a delight to watch Juniper and Henry discover each magical land and experience everything at the Disneyland Resort. They sailed with Peter Pan, ‘raced’ a fast car at Cars Land, pretended to be a pirate, rode the Matterhorn Bobsleds, and experienced so many other fun, exciting adventures. This afternoon we finally arrived in Star Wars Land and piloted the famed Millennium Falcon. A special treat from Grandma and Grampa was to build a lightsaber. The kids thoughtfully picked their themed components and then went into the mysterious chamber. Following the gatherers' instructions, they carefully assembled their sabres. Then came the magical moment when the weapons were activated, and each novice was instructed to raise them high in defiance of the dark side. The kids were firm believers in the Force. Tomorrow is day four of our wonderful adventure. Stay tuned…
