We took a trip earlier this week to spend a day at Disneyland in celebration of the fact that Josh finished his language training. We originally bought 3-day passes almost a year ago and went down for 2 days prior to last Christmas. The weather was not cooperating (to say the least) and we got rained on non-stop. So we decided to cut our losses and leave early in the hopes of coming back later. I'm happy to report that our trip was absolutely wonderful. It's about a 6 1/2 hour drive from our house, so we arrived just in time for dinner on Monday night. Then, we had a quick dip in the pool and headed to bed.

We were at the gates at 9:00 and started off with B's picks - the Buzz Lightyear ride and Autopia. We also hit up the Finding Nemo submarine ride, Dumbo (several times), Teacups (also several times), the Casey Jr. train ride, the carousel, the Winnie the Pooh ride, Disney Jr. Live, the Monsters Inc ride, all the kids rides in California Adventure... It was a long day. We did not break for naps, and the kids didn't go to bed until almost 9:00 pm. We caught just a bit of a parade before jumping on the Small World boat ride - all in all, a really great day. Lots of sunshine and warm weather (which we've been missing in Monterey). And it truly was a pretty happy day. The day after? Well, the kids were tired, didn't want to be stuck in the car driving home, and made sure to let us know that we had messed with their schedule.

| Casey Jr - somehow they "miscounted" and there was no room for me on the ride. Really. How complex is that job?? |

| Cheese! |

| K meeting Mickey - B wanted no part in this. |
