Disneydays

So many pictures to choose from, so much fun to tell.
Even though we had a large crowd we all worked well
with each other and had the help of the Griffin team
in the planning and executing of the agenda, so our fun
was maxed, our time waiting in lines minimized, and
we even got in all our favorite treats and eats. Thanks
to a wonderful family for such magical time.

Touring the newly reopened castle. The little diorama
scenes were impressive and even included some
animation. What I loved were the pages of the books
that proceeded the scenes. If they sold a giant book with
all the deckled edges and beautiful illumination I would
probably buy it. All in all it was very charming.

I was the only adult in our crowd that rode the carousel....
didnt want to miss out. Plus I love carousels they are
so pretty...day and night.


TEA CUPS. if you think riding in one of those cups
makes you dizzy, try taking pictures while in one of those
spinning contraptions....It made me pretty sick. But it
made for some crazy fun pictures where it looks like Im
having fun.
P.S. Im pretty sure I rode these on my very merry unbirthday....
well at least my official half-birthday at least (exactly).


Measuring up. Fun for all the tall enough and...
for the not so tall enough.


The Matterhorn

Above: hardest picture to take... ever (good job Reecers)
Below: my most favorite thing about Disneyland.....
the little tinkeling noise you hear when you pass crystals
or jewels on any of the rides. The most magical thing
ever, its always been my favorite.
Small World. It was amazing to see the looks of
pure joy on all my nieces and nephews faces.



Why is Kare-Bear wearing sunglasses?.... little too bright?




Space Mountain. Reece was trained to become
a jedi the ol' fashioned way.....with yoda on his back.




Splash Mountain. Again, expressions of pure joy on
all the faces....at least until the big drop where looks of
complete terror swept over the chilins faces....and then
looks of regret on the soaking wet adults....thats the price
you pay for wanting front seat!


Pirates! and dinner at the Blue Bayou....my
favorite....havent been there for more then 10 years...it
was just as wonderful as I remembered.

one of my oldest memories of disneyland.....riding under
that dirty old foot! anyone else know what Im talking
about?




First time to Tom Sawyer's Island. I have to admit
I chilled more than I explored...but Karin blew my mind
where do you get that energy, and where can I buy it?
Jungle Cruise, its been a long time....which was probably a
good thing as I laughed at all the jokes....they all seemed
new to me.


The only Disney prince around....I prefer my own prince
charming though.


Above: yum, stick o' butter for dinner.

Oh man, you got so many awesome pictures! I'm glad you got a good one of the dirty foot guy - it just wouldn't be pirates without him. I am very impressed with Reece's Harold picture - it is so clear! The picture of Evie on Small World is super cute. Will eating the butter is hilarious (and kind of gross). What an awesome trip. We'll have to go back sometime soon.
