5.10.2009: Happy Mothers Day!!

On Sunday, Mother's Day, a group of us went to Disneyland!! What a perfect day to go! Christina and Justice met us in Anaheim, and we set out for a GREAT day at the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!! :) It wasn't too crowded at all...in fact after the evening parade, the park basically cleared out. It is great going on a Sunday! The kids had a blast! Drake and Justice had never been there before, and it had been a while for Vince & Christina too. Andrew & Brianna had gone last year, but Brianna was a little too young, and Andrew had MUCH more fun having his buds there to experience it with this year! They all went on almost every rollercoaster ride. Some didn't like it so much, but they didn't want to be the one not to go. Actually, out of all of them, I think Andrew still has nightmares about Snow White! That is a pretty scary ride for kids! :) We literally spent the entire day there....and closed the park down. Some highlights:
- Brianna made Minnie Mouse very sad because she was terrifed of her! Started out excited to see her, but as she got close, she freaked!
- Justice cried thru the ENTIRE Thunder Mountian Railroad ride, but as soon as he got off said "It wasn't that bad"
- Andrew is still terrified of Snow White
- All the kids got matching hats with their names on them
- NO LINE for Pirates of the Carribean!! Whoohoo!
- I still don't know Goofy is so popular but everyone can't wait to see him
- Roger Rabbit is really not a good kids ride for "Toon Town"
- The NEMO submarine ride is much better than the old school one we grew up with!
- The boys got to go dance in the parade and loved it!
- The boys also got cool light sabers (swords to beat each other with!)...and Nana got princesses
- Luckily we got to skip the petting zoo which I think is wierd to have at Disneyland...and it stinks!
- We missed Space Mountain and Splash Mountain :( Next time!
- I never got my frozen banana...however everyone I saw with one just looked strange eating it...no, they just looked strange in general...so, maybe good that I skipped it
- We left the park at 11pm...with Churros in hand...FINALLY....and YUMMO!

***What a GREAT day!!!****
