My b-day present I didn't post about...

OK, so I told you all I would post about my other b-day present! Sorry it's been awhile, but we went to Disneyland for the weekend (WITHOUT KIDS!!! Thanks B&K). We took off Friday morning with the Mortensen's and spent the weekend having a BLAST at the "Happiest Place on Earth"!!! We figured out how to get SOAKING wet on Splash Mountain (the order was Fawn in front, Devon, Me and then Chuck along with 2 more adults behind us) and we got wet throughout the drops within Splash Mountain... but on the last drop we had a wall of water come over us (including Chuck in the 4th seat) and we were SOAKED!!! There was about 3-4 inches of standing water in the bottom of our log. They had to send it through again w/out anybody in it so they could tip it and get the water out! It was AWESOME!!! And so then we went again (minus FAWN) and the on Sat we did it 2 more times (minus Fawn because she didn't feel like getting wet that day!) We had a great time. I get sick from fast rollercoasters and things that go up and down and upside down... so I stood in line with the gang and then stepped right on through and waited for them at the exit. It wasn't worth it to feel sick for awhile. Oh- we did a lot of Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story Mania (new ride in CA Adventures). They are both shoot your guns and get points and see who wins. I never beat Chuck, but that's OK. OH- and I got a Birthday Badge and wore it the whole time I was there. I got told Happy Birthday a lot and even got 2 free bags of tortillas at the Tortilla Factory in CA Adventures (we went on 2 different days). We had such a great time and we think it would be tons of fun to get a group of adults together and go on a bus over, be there when it opens and then get on the bus when it closes and come home! Sound like fun? I think so! Maybe in a year or 2 we will arrange something like that! OK... pictures are below showing the fun we had!



Teacups... I always sit this one out (motion sickness), so I decided to video it... can you tell what Fawn is laughing at???

On the Sun Wheel... we went on a moving one and Chuck and Devon were trying to get us to swing higher and Fawn & I were freaking out... but instead of yelling we were LAUGHING so hard! I couldn't stop! I look funny in this picture! Oh-well, that's what happens when you are laughing uncontrollably!

All of us on the Sailing Ship Columbia. We took it at night after the fireworks. Chuck actually fell asleep and didn't wake-up until the end of the ride.

This is part of the Grizzly Mountain (where Grizzly River Run is)

Buzz Lightyear!!! This is an AWESOME ride! We had so much fun!

Look at Chuck and I walking though the crowd... So fun!!!

Thanks Fawn and Devon for coming with us on this Disneyland Adventure! We hope you guys had fun! We sure did!
