A Visit to Oak Glen

The Roberts and Burgan clans made it to Oak Glen on Sunday, October 13th. We walked through the village. Anakin rode a pony, jumped in the bouncer, slid down the inflatable slide, and rode the train. I think a good time was had by most. (There were the complainers in the bunch, but we mostly ignored them.) We had a "linner" (lunch/dinner) at Apple Annie's where Jenn waited for about an hour and half to be seated. Chris proceeded to get sick. We bought apples at Snow Line and took a few pictures. It has become a yearly trek to apple country for a fun filled day, so until next time...

City Folk at the Fair

Chris and Jenn made the trek to the LA County Fair with Jerry and Debbie. As always we visited the flower exhibit, the textile exhibit, and the photography exhibit. As we walked the shopping buildings we made a stop at the VitaMix booth for "free food." It is not to be missed and always gets you excited about going home and using your own VitaMix. Jenn and Debbie never miss the animal exhibits. How can you not love these little buggers?

Where has the year gone?

Wow! What the heck happened to the year? Before you know it the McKinney's will be delivering a baby boy and we will all be oooohhhhing and aaaahhhhing. For those that don't know, Jenn Burgan has been working at Santa Fe Middle School teaching 6th, 7th, and 8th grade English. Whew! What a load! The teachers of the family are back to work. Miss Jessica Burgan has finally moved to Long Beach and is working at Starbucks as a Barista. I'm told she loves it! As our year flies by we hope to hear from y'all. Drop us a line or even add a comment to our blogs. Hope your year is going well! Happy October!

Chris and Jenn's New Car

So we have been talking about a new car since forever. Until recently when Jenn's dad bought our Jeep, we thought it was a long way off. We soon discovered we will need 2 cars come winter. We decided to get online and see what we liked and what was cheap cheap. Most cars were way out of our price range, but we loved them. Months ago Chris had mentioned the Toyota Yaris and Jenn baulked at it. It seemed too small. Last night we stopped by a dealership to check it out. It was late and we couldn't take it for a test drive, so since we knew that we weren't going to buy until October, we'd come back. Today we took it for a test drive and hours and hours later we brought it home. We got a smoking deal and it turns out that although it appears quite small, the inside space is quite large. It also gets incredible gas mileage and that made it the perfect car. Did I mention Jenn thinks it is "cute"? So it became our new baby today. Check it out!

We Five in Laguna

We Five played to an older crowd at Laguna Woods last night. It was quite the experience. I think the folks really had a good time. There was even crowd participation. Come check out their next show at FBC (First Baptist Church) on August 9th.

Hunter Ray

With each passing day Hunter Ray gets bigger and bigger. You could say that his mommy and daddy aren't anywhere near ready for him. There is so much to be done and no time to do it. If they aren't careful, Hunter will be sharing mommy and daddy's room. Check back for his latest photo.

D-Land

Yesterday a few Burgan's and Graf's partied at the D-Land (Disneyland, for those not in the know). We checked out the new Toy Story ride. It was awesome!!! We spent most of the day in California Adventure and Chris enjoyed a slippery and wet ride down the slide! The Roberts Clan will be going next Tuesday, July 1st, to the big D-Land, so if you are interested let me know. I'll be joining the crew for another visit to the "Happiest Place on Earth!"
