disneyland

So back in January and February we did the give a day get a day program from Disney and got three free passes for Dave, myself, and Aaron for a day at Disney. Amanda wasn't old enought to do the service. Aaron and I worked at the food bank's farm for our service and actually we had a lot of fun picking vegatables and sorting other vegatables ( I think I posted some pictures of it awhile back.) Dave (really me and some Dave) made these ribbons for the local Homocide survivors we had to make like 200 ribbons it acutally was more work then working at the farm. Anyway so when we drove through LA on the way home to Arizona we stopped and used our tickets. It was a lot of fun and so neat to be able to go for only $50 (thats how much Amanda's ticket cost, Thomas was still free) We walked way too much and my feet were very tired. Dave tried to convince the children to go on as many rollarcoasters as possible. I don't like them. He did get Aaron on the matterhorn but after that it seemed it was not meant to be. They would get in line and about 10 minutes into waiting in line the ride would be broken and they told us to come back later. I think we were bad luck. Seriously we broke 4 rides, (pirates of the carribeans, space mountain, big thunder railroad, and I can't remember the other one but it was pretty ridicoulous) anyway I also thought I would never go on the Teacups so many times but that is Thomas's favorite ride. He loved it and wanted to go again and again. We actually had to start avoiding it as we were walking around so he wouldn't see it. Amanda of course loved the princess's and fairies and waiting in line to see them was really no problem because she was so excited. We were a little disaapointed in the choice of princesses (Ariel, Tiana, and Jasime) Amanda really wanted to see Cinderella or Aurora, but we still were okay. Alright here is a bunch of pictures



Here us Amanda with Tinkerbell and Terrence. While taking these pictures Thomas was being hysterical I am really surprised I got them at all.


This is my most favorite picture. It is hard to see but if you could have seen Amanda's face up close. The rapture she had in her eyes at getting to be with the princess. She just loved here.



So here is Amanda with Tiana (from princess and a frog) Amanda was excited but I was like really where is Cinderella or aurora anyway I thought I would put it in


Thomas was so excited to see Goofy. It was really hard to keep him in the line because he kept trying to run to the Goofy. He wouldn't let me take a better picture. Thomas just wanted to give Goofy a hug.



Here is one of the many times on the teacups. You can't really see the kids but they are in the orange cup (look behind yellow is blue then behind blue is orange.)

We stopped for the parade. Thomas slept in the stroller through the whole thing which I thought was crazy because we were pretty close and it was loud but he just kept on snoring. Here is Mickey and Minnie dancing. Then they asked the kids to come out and dance with them. Aaron didn't want to but Amanda of course wanted to that's the next picture. wish the ladies head hadn't been there.

See her pink shirt. near the bottom of the steps

We went to the big LEGO store in Downtown store and they had this huge Woody made out of legos so cool.

Trying to get a picture of the three of them near Winnie the Pooh corner. You can also see Amanda's new sweatshirt Nana bought her for kindergarten. It has been hard to keep her from wearing it when it is 100+ outside.

The last ride the kids went on for the night. We were so tired by this point even though the park was open for longer we couldn't go on. The park started doing the fireworks while on this ride. It was crazy. Dave said he enjoyed being squished in this ride with Aaron and Amanda
