One time we...went to Disneyland!
Disneyland
January 2009
This week we went to Disneyland with Tom's sister, Julee, her family and their parents.
We had a blast!
Our top five:
Penny: Looking over her Disneyland map at least 6 times/hour (top right pic) Bug's life land, teacups, Thunder Mountain Railroad and Splash Mountain
Jack: Pirates of the Caribbean (feelin' pretty good about sharing a name with Jack Sparrow), The Lego Store in Downtown Disney (his own personal Nirvana) Star Tours, Buzz Lightyear, & feeling independent with his super cool (his words) and older cousins
Liza: Cotton candy, Churros, Being outside in the sunshine, Tower of Terror (hate me if you must, but that thing is hilarious), Saying "yes" to my kids
Tom: The Sunshine, the lack of cell phone usage, Soarin' over California ride, showers at night, having fun with happy kids
The first day we went to Goofy's Kitchen for breakfast at the Disneyland Hotel. That was a riot! It was a buffet of everything you (kid or all-growed up) could ever want for breakfast. Penny had cupcakes, chocolate rice krispies, bacon and an ice cream cone. Jack had Mac & Cheese, bacon, ice cream, and who knows what else. Tom and I had a delightful spread of fresh fruits and a small bowl of oatmeal.....on the fourth trip to the buffet. It was embarrassing...unbelievably satisfying....I mean, embarrassing.
It was a great week. Thanks for the invite, Julee!
Christmas 2008
WOW! Nothing like posting a month after Christmas! I'm tellin' ya, the pressure is UNBELIEVABLE! I attempted my first collage today. That is a good time!
Christmas morning with all the magic and excitement of Penny seeing her new doll for the first time and Jack, his scooter. What a fun morning. The others are the kids in their Sunday duds! I love Jack's "El Diablo" face in the bottom, right picture. His equivalent of "Rico Suave" for those of us who lived through the 80's.
