Pirates Vs. Tarzan

While everyone went on Pirates of the Carribean Syrah & I thought we would venture through Tarzan's Treehouse. Something I have never done in the park. We had such a great time, each scene has a page out of the book that you can read.






At the end of the tree house they have an area where you can keep yourself busy. Two ropes allows you to swing from them like Tarzan and everytime you pull on the rope you hear different animal noises (Elephants, monkeys & even Tarzan himself).

If you've seen the movie you know the Monkey's take over the camp and here you can do the same thing. There's a spot you can bang on all the pots & pans you want to make music.



Also, a bit of Disney trivia for you... Did you know that each Disney movie has a tie in to the one before it? That would explain with Mrs. Potts & Chip is watching over us making music in the camp.



Not the best photo of us... but still pretty cute.

It's a Small World FUN!

Enjoy this little video of Small World.



it's a little hard to see, but we all had fun.

Disneyland Part 3: Saddie & Syrah

The Jordan's were the other family that joined us. They have two girls, Saddie, 9 and Syrah 5. Both girls were celebrating their birthday on this trip so it was especially fun. This is Syrah's second year in Cubbies, so we already know each other and it was a LOT of fun to have that extra bond. Plus she's only 5 so the magic is SOOOO much different at that age. I also got to know Saddie really well too, that was fun as well, she always had a beautiful smile on her face and so full of life. She too got the courage to try some new rides (Screamin' and Space Mountain). All four kids were amazingly polite and well mannered.

This picture deserves the story... we went on a kids roller coaster, one that was a little too much for the adults. We all agreed it felt like we were going to be flung from the ride. But Syrah LOVED it. She giggled the ENTIRE time. It was so cute.



Theresa & Bill along with Theresa's mom were all part of the fun too. I didn't get a family photo, so I cropped down a group shot.

Disneyland Part 2: Samuel & Micah

We had such a great time. For me, my favorite part is always watching the kids expierence the magic of Disneyland, the same magic that I expierence each time I'm there. Samuel & Micah were great fun to have around, they are so polite and energetic. It was also fun to see Samuel expierence some new rides (Screamin' and Space Mountain). Their smiles said it all...

And lastly, some great family photos...




They have a blog too, and I'm sure it will be updating in the coming week with a lot more photos. Michael & Katrina were great about having the camera ready, I'll bet between the three families we got over 1200 photos!!!

Disneyland Part 1

So two months ago I thought it would be fun to have a weekend getaway. David had been taken care of me for 6 weeks while I was on my wheely scooter and we had enough airline miles saved up... so I told him to pick... Well he didn't think to hard and choose Disneyland, not cause he likes it but because he knew I would love it. I couldn't argue that point :-). We planned the weekend around the same time that some friends of ours was going.
here are some photos and fun stories...


On Saturday the park was PACKED, it was just David & I so we just spent the day holding hands and strolling through the park.
Sunday was less crowded and we met up with the Caceres & Jordan's that afternoon. They wanted to enjoy It's a Small World & the fireworks before the week started. Unfortunatley the wind was blowing so hard that the fireworks were cancelled.

Yep, those are matching shirts... We all had the green shirts and it was wonderful to find everyone in a crowd. We all decided to wear them on Monday too.



Here we are on the Grizzy River Ride...

I'll share more stories & pictures in the next few days.
