We had the most AWESOME time at Disneyland and California Adventure and at the beach. Huntington Beach that is. I might have been trying to spot Tito Ortiz that lives there. We.did.not.want.to.come.home.
So anyfun, we were there to celebrate (be devastated over) Alyssa's 13th Birthday. Her and my nephew Tate had no clue what was going on. When Alyssa got home from school, we told her to go to the bathroom and get her jacket. Her response..."I'm confused". We get in the car and go down the road to pick up Tate. We are getting his stuff loaded in the car, his response..."I'm confused". So they both had the exact same response and I told them I liked them confused, they are kinda fun that way.
So we finally decided to tell them where we were going when we were still in AZ, somewheres around 300 miles away from our destination. And this was their response...
Along the drive there was a huge designer retaining/noise blocking wall. Looks like it has dragon fly's all over it with some other designs. Well....Tate was TRYING to say that the green parts on the wall looked like tentacles. But what he ended up saying was that they looked like testicles. Oh man, we were rollin' in laughter!
So on Friday the 19th we spent the WHOLE day at Disneyland. It was so much fun. Our favorite rides there were Space Mountain and Splash Mountain. Here are some pics of our day...
First we got their faces painted...And you can see a Happy Birthday pin on Alyssa's jacket. Everyone kept wishing her a Happy Birthday..and she's kinda shy with strangers, so eventually I noticed that pin moved south down by her pocket where it was less noticeable!
On the Submarine ride...
Tate "driving" me...you see the crazy look on that boys face! I think he was tryin' to kill me!
Alyssa bustin' up cause, um, ya, she can't "drive" either...
Jason and I had to try on this crazy hat...

I got to visit Chip N' Dale's while there...it's not what I had imagined...

And this was the ending to Day 1 at Disneyland...
Tomorrow I will post about Day 2 at California Adventure.
