Disneyland on Saturday

We love Disneyland so much that we end up going almost every week. It's been really busy lately so hopefully going early in the morning will help.

Normally we spend our time in Disneyland. Today we're starting in California Adventure.
Thanks Uncle Jacob for the popcorn bucket. The kids enjoyed munching on the $1 popcorn refills throughout the day.

Alli is certainly growing up. Today she had a milestone. First ride that had a height limit! She just barely brushed the 32" mark.

Time to take a spin with Mater! During the ride she was tucked in close to me (could have been all the sliding). At the end she was quick to say "More. More."

Next we took a spin with Heimlich looking at all the giant food.

The kids and I took a spin while Theresa watched from the sidelines.

Then our two little monsters headed to Monster's Inc.


We'd planned to go into Disneyland but saw that Playhouse Disney Live on Stage was about to close its doors. The cast members manning the door said they'd park our stroller and in we went! They even had seats right near the front!

Who doesn't love a handful of confetti!

Back over in Disneyland the lines are starting to pick up. We've been having really good luck though getting to ride Jingles!

And Alli loves riding too.

Lunchtime!

There's so much tempting food at Disneyland. This is not that food. Still trying to stick with the New Years resolutions and this is about the best I've found.

The trains are still parked at the station while work is being done on the line. The kids loved climbing around on them.


Even the Lilly Belle is open for viewing.

One of the Disney photographers carries around a couple rubber snakes.

And who doesn't love rubber snakes.

Time for a spin on Winnie the Pooh.


After a visit to the Tiki room, the park was getting really crowded and it was time to go home.

Time for a treat on the way though!

Oh my.

And after going through the gates the next thing I knew, Ian had fallen asleep! Still has a good hold on that sucker though.

And Alli wasn't too far behind.

So instead of going straight to the car, instead we walked around Downtown Disney. Theresa was happy to find the new Sprinkles cupcake shop!

Oak Glen Apple Farms - Part 1

It's the weekend! This year we're not going to get the chance to fly to Michigan to visit the apple orchards there. Theresa was still really wanting to go and the kids have been getting really excited about picking apples so Theresa found a place relatively close by and made it happen! Welcome to Oak Glen! Just a 2 hour drive from our house, this mountain community had its first apple orchards planted all the way back in 1867. Now home to over 30 different orchards, this 5 mile loop is affectionately known as Apple Country. After Ian got out of school, everyone piled in the car and headed for the hotel T booked. We're making it a 2 day event, staying the night in between so we can get an early start in the morning. After checking in and getting up to our rooms, Ian was very happy to find a quarter (remember this one, it'll come back later). Time to head to our first orchard! Snow-Line Orchard has been in production since 1898. I was really happy to come on a Friday. It...

Alli takes on more 40" rides at Disneyland

It's been a full weekend already, spending 2 days in Oak Glen California visiting apple orchards, but we're not done yet. Weekends are perfect for a Disneyland visit. I love seeing all the different Halloween decorations, plus Alli just turned 40" tall so she's got lots of brand new things she can ride. Hats this week continue the Nightmare Before Christmas theme from last week. From left to right, we've got a Jack Skellington style top-hat from Disneyland years ago. Next is Jack Skellington bursting out of a pumpkin which I think was offered last year at Disneyland. Then there's a Scary Teddy hat, followed by a Santa Jack hat complete with beard. Both parks open today at 8am. At 8:05 we were in a long line of cars trying to enter the parking structure, and by 8:45 we had made it through security and were walking through Downtown Disney. I always opt to take the 1 mile walk from the parking garage to the entrance instead of dealing with the tram. One other ...

Oak Glen Apple Farms - Part 2

Good morning! Happy Saturday! Ready to head to the apple orchards? By staying overnight nearby, we were able to get an early start to the day and arrive right when the orchards opened on Saturday. The drive in to Oak Glen was quiet and peaceful. There was even one stretch were we saw deer amongst the apple trees eating their breakfast. Having read multiple reviews ahead of time, it was clear that this was going to be a madhouse later in the day. According to everything I read, Oak Tree Village opened up at 8am. I thought getting there around 8:30am would give everyone a little time to get set up. But when we arrived, it was like a ghost town. There's lots of shops stalls, but nothing is really open yet. Looking around for anything to do, at the back of the village we found a pen with chickens, a duck, a peacock, and some pigeons. And right there by the pen was a vending machine for corn feed. Ian asked if he could have money for it, but sorry buddy, I don't carry coins. Ian sud...
