Joyce waited until "Erin" was 5 years old before making the trip to Disneyland. She didn't want any part of "diapers" etc on the vacation. Each child was allowed once suitcase that they were in charge of carrying!! Here we are at the Cahill Train Station in San Jose. (Now the Diridon Station in 2021). It was also the Bicentennial and Disneyland had a special parade.

1978 Joyce painted desks for Colleen & Erin. The Schmidt's let Joyce use their garage to do the renovations. Colleen gets "Mugsy" for a birthday gift. I think Joyce made a treasure hunt for Colleen to find Mugsy. Maureen surprises us with a dance performance at her school. Easter Photos too.
