Tulips



Another Tulip post. So remeber when I planted them and then they were sprouting, well now they are in full bloom. What I thought I had planted was a variety pack, but it looks to me like they are all orange. I have a few more coming up so we will see what they do. And for those of you that haven't seen our house yet. Here it is, with the fresh cut grass courtesy of Ben.

Type at you all later.

Third Disney Post

Well, I started posting this morning and then I did that slide, then life got in the way so, Hopefully I can finish this thing.

the weather was great. Ben and I have decided that when we go again we would go at this time of year again. We would even take kids out of school because of the great weather and how few people there were. the longest wait time we had was a half an hour. If you had been to disney before you know that 30 min for a line is nothing. as we were walking right up to the ride you could see how it could weave in and out for days but we really just walked up to most of the rides. In the order that i can remeber we went on Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Carribean, got Pics with Tigger, Ate hots dogs, Met Captain Hook, Got Ice Cream, went on the Astro Orbitors, Star Tours, Space Mountian, we went on this twice within twenty minutes including going to the bathroom inbetween the rides (totally awesome!!) If you click on the space mountian pic you can see my greatest facial expression ever! I don't even know how I made it!! We tried to go on Autotopia, the submarine, and big thunder mountian railroad, but we were pretty much toast by 5 pm. So we went to the hotel and ate dinner and slept.

We weren't quite as energetic the second day as the first but we totally had so much fun. We got to California Adventure and went on Tower of Terror Twice within twenty min. I nearly peeded my pants because of the sudden drops. The first time we rode it I cast member Gabe was so COOL he let us go on to the ride that usually holds twenty by ourselves. The secon time we went on it we asked to be in the front again, but they filled the cart this time. There was a couple behind us that was totally freaked out by the ride and they were both huddled in the corner not looking at the picture. You really had no idea how fast you went up the elevator until they opened the doors a second later and you were over looking the entire park. Then we went on the roaring rapids, the spinning spaceship and the Bee ride. Then headed over to Soaring over California. Now that was totally awesome. Kevin would love just waiting for the ride to start, there are all sorts of model planes and plane facts. The tour guide for the ride was the guy who played the voice of Kronk, I guess he was on Sienfeld too. so we walked into this humongous hanger and you have no idea how they are going to do this when there are people in front of you. Well, let me tell you they pull all three rows of people up and forward so we are all infront of this massive screen and you go Soaring over California. You go over some lakes and rivers and you think that your feet are going to skim the water if feels and smells so real.

Next we went on Mulholland Madness I would not suggest this as our shoulders were slammed into the the side of the car fifty bagillion times. the whole time we were sayin ow, ow, ow. next was the Ferris Wheel then screaming over CA which was also fun and unexpectedly fast. We met Micah and Jennifer at downtown Disney and had Dinner, there were a few places to eat and the one we ate at Ben went to put our name on the list but there was a half an hour wait to even get you name on the list. So we went to the express window instead. We stayed and watched Fantasmic and the Fireworks show at 9pm we left at ten and were home at 2 am. yah, won't be doing that one again, It would have been so much better for us to stay another night that to endure that car ride. SO we learnd a gew things but over all we had a great weekend and can't wait til we see Dave and Erin again! Hope your fight home was safe and uneventful!

Well I will type at you all later!

Disneyland Slide Show




We took 300 Pics between us. These are my favories. There is probably more but I don't want to bore ya!

Disneyland...

...was great! We really had a great time. We didn't go on every ride, but but we went on most of the standard ones. It was crazy how you could tell the more people getting there as the day went on. We went to Disneyland on Thursday and then California Adventure on Friday. Ben went on a few rides at Disneyland like Indiana Jones, Mr. Toads Wild Ride, Star Tours and The astro orbiter. At one point he was on a mission to find a hot dog. We finally found one for him and as we were sitting there eating Dave went up to get a Pretzel and Captian Hook sat in Dave's seat and scared the crap out of Erin. Then we got some delicious ice cream I took a picture of Erin eating hers and in the background you can see this little boy picking a wedgie!
As we were walking into Fantasyland we saw this little girl in pink playing at a souivier shop but no one saw a parent, well she started to wander away from the stand and said "I go find my mommy" she was about three. So, I followed right after her and grabed her. She had no problem talking to me and that I was a stranger. So, I walked back up to Ben, Dave and Erin and the mom came running up to me to get her. I guess the little girl was at the stand for a good 10-15 min without her mom.
