Disneyland

I am amazed how much we can fit in while we are at Disneyland. When we go to Disneyland we "do" Disneyland. We were there by 8:30 am every morning and didn't leave until 11:30 or 12:00 am every night. I think there were a few naps in there a couple of days. The girls were such troopers even walking back and forth from our hotel four times on Friday; and it was no little walk. We finally got smart on Saturday and took the shuttle the rest of the time. It sure saved everyone's legs for Disneyland.

Here is a run down of a few of the memories I have returned from Disneyland with:

• waiting in Medford for 5 hours for our delayed flight.
• hanging out at McDonald's for part of that time playing games. (by the way Cheryl is much better than I when it comes to making words)
• getting 16 character autographs.
• walking a loooong way to our hotel
• eating at IHOP at 10:00 pm and waiting for a very long time for our food.
• Aubrey falling asleep and then not remembering that she ate a whole bowl of mac and cheese when we woke her up.
• the beautiful lights on the castle.
• riding the moving gondolas on Mickey's ferris wheel (what was I thinking)
• the way they decorated the Haunted Mansion for Christmas. so cool.
  
• remembering that I love the Aladdin show in California Adventure.
• Tori telling me that she is NOT going on the Matterhorn and then it becoming her favorite ride.
• loving the Christmas parade and the fireworks.
• being at Disneyland while hearing a full orchestra and choir sing songs about Christmas while Jon Voight narrates the story of Christmas. Amazing, simply amazing.
• the girls sleeping on Main Street.
• collecting fast passes in the morning to use in the evening when the lines are longer. (Thanks Cheryl)
• the Mad Hatter giving Tori a bad time about all of the teeth she has lost. Funny
• Running through LAX to make our flight home.
• Watching Cheryl run through LAX without her shoes on.

Anyway, it was a wonderful time spent with amazing friends. Honestly, I don't need to ever go to Disneyland at a different time. I loved being there at Christmas time. It was awesome. I'll get pictures added soon.
