Land of The Mouse ( and friends!)

The Castle at night - a true fairytale land!!


We had a fantastic time at Disneyland!! If you haven't been must go!! We lucked out and only had to stand in a long line on 2 rides (25min) - the rest of the time we basically walked right on in or maybe waited 10 minutes. Emma saw Cinderella but I didn't get a picture cause she was leaving. Unfortunately the fireworks were canceled because to much wind but it did snow!! they had some fake snow come down, that was neat. It sure was Christmassy there!! We all loved space mountain! that is a cool ride. and of course Pirates of the Caribbean we went on twice. Also Thunder mountain was a hit. we did that in the dark! It sure is pretty there at night. my photos don't do it justice. Kyle loved Indian Jones- Emma got scared!! Maya loved the Pirates of the Caribbean. So much to see and so much happened it's almost a blurr- very stimulating!! Hey Holly remember our trip? i still like the Tikiti Room! love them birds.

time for another trivia question-
#8What was the first Mickey Mouse sound movie? ( easy right)

harder now #9 What year did they make the Tikitiki Room? (this is the room with the robotic birds,flowers,and tiki drummers that sing)

FYI the pirates of the Caribbean and country bears jamboree (no,longer there) came after the tiki room

the Latitudes and Attitudes magazine office is just at the top of the marina we are in - so we went in and said hi and guess what - They may do a story on us, the girl in the office is going to send Bob Bitchin down to see our boat as he is building one and should see our cockpit. Will keep you posted on that!! Exciting , eh?! for all of
you who don't know this magazine published an article of mine about 2.5 yrs ago in the Sea Urchins section ( about kids rescue on the dock at Spruce ) that article I also put in the Spruce News. It's a great magazine. I love it. They also gave us 4 back copies - so we are reading away.

mom just figured out what lol meant today for the last month or so she has been trying to figure out what all the slangs were. she was complaining about how bad everyones spelling is and how it is somtimes hard to read the comments. i would advise you guys to put a ps at the end of your comments to explain the slang because im tired of answering all the questions like whats that kyle or what does lol mean or is it just me or is everyone bad at spelling.
kyle
ps, please put the ps at the end and dana keep answering the questions maybe after a while they will be faster than you.
