Disneyland

Well we finally made it on a vacation! Clint and I decided that neither of us have been to disneyland in quit a while. Clint has only been there once when he was 8 and I have been there twice and the last time was when I was 15 yikes. It has been a long time since we have been able to just leave and go to disney land spur of the moment. Sunday night Clint's boss thought it would be nice to give him four days off so we packed up on monday and left for California. Now that we live in las vegas it is only 3 1/2 hours away to disneyland. We arrived there at about 6 on Monday night and we met up with our cousin Tandy who lives there. We ate ice cream and I finally was able to see their new addition Ella. The next morning we woke up at 7 and darted off to disneyland. We were able to ride all of the rides and we were there till 9 that night. It was a long day of fun but we had the best time ever. I really felt like I was twelve again and nothing can really compare to that feeling.

Here is Beauty and the beast.




Belle was even prettier in person which is pretty hard to do because she is one of my favorite Disney characters

Here is Ariel. She was not as pretty as belle but I had to take a picture because she is my favorite character of all time

Well here it is the very last ride of the day splash mountain. We waited until after the parade and we sprinted to splash mountain and we got right on the ride. To my disadvantage it was getting dark and I got stuck in front row because my husband was being a big baby! I got drenched I had to take my top of and change into a jacket. p.s i even put my hair in a very tight bun and it still got drenched.

I was trying to get that dang sword out of the stinking ground but I had no luck at all.

At night the princess castle lights up pink and purple my two favorite colors so I had to take a snap thanks stranger for taking it for us.


Can we say creepy ! this is me when I am old. This just depresses me:(

Here is Clint hahaha he has a permafrown



Honey I shrunk the audience is still as funny as ever our favorite part when the dog sneezes on you is not part of the show booooo !



Jungle safari! that poor zebra is being eaten by the lions:(



HAha isn't it funny to see a grown man on a merry go round cause I do




here is thunder mountain is was not as scary as I could remember but it was still fun!






Here we are on the Davy Crockett canoe ride. As you can see we were not paddling and the guides had to help most of the way because my arm started hurting and there were like 5 kids on the canoe. By the end of the ride the guides were sweating and we kind of felt bad oh well pictures are sometimes more important right?



I wanted a picture of us with some mickey ears so we went into the store and found our favorite and and took a picture of them without buying them hahaha thanks disney:)



Here is one of our new favorite rides we went on. Finding nemo just opened this year and it was a blast. This was the longest line at disneyland so it took us about an hour to get on but was well worth the wait. It is a big submarine that floats around and has computerized nemo characters with jelly fish and lots of cool stuff. It really is amazing to see this ride and I always wonder how the heck they do it.




This by far is one of the funniest things we saw at disneyland. This little Asian guy was sitting in front of us at the parade and he had one of the biggest cameras I have ever seen hahahaha he was taking pictures of birds that were like 1000 feet away. Still makes me laugh
