Easter at Disneyland

Happy Saturday before Easter! The Flowers family is headed to Disneyland to take part of the festivities!


It was all smiles as we got on the tram.

Ian really wanted to bring his stuffed Dale that he got from Aulani earlier this week. And wouldn't you know it, as soon as we entered the park, Dale and Chip were walking down the steps of the Main Street Railroad with no-one waiting to meet them! Ian went right up to Dale with his plush toy.

Dale took a special interest in him.

And while the band on Main Street played a jazz tune, Ian and Dale danced together.

We greeted the horses as we always do when we walk down Main Street.

Let's take a spin on the Tea Cups!

Even though the park isn't too busy, the line for Gadget's Go-Coaster was backed up a bit. Instead of our usual 2-5 trips, Ian and I only went on it once.

While waiting in line, Ian pointed to the treehouse and said we have to go there!

Ian and Dale explored the tree house.

Then it was off to check out Donald's boat.

It's Jacob! And he brought popcorn!

Have a piece of popcorn Dale.

I asked where the popcorn went and was told that Dale ate it.

Alli really liked the popcorn too, eating it by the handful.

They sure do love the carrousel.

I was really surprised at the lines today. The Haunted Mansion was a walk-on.

Alli rides with me, while Ian goes with Jacob and Mommy. Alli shows no fear when riding, but she does lay her head on me as we move through the mansion.

Next up was Winnie the Pooh!

Alli gets really excited about Pooh.
Pooh!!!


I told her to tell me when she saw Pooh.

Before we leave, we have to visit with the Easter Bunny. I'd heard the lines were long to get to him most of the day. We happened to wander by when there weren't any characters out. I asked a cast member when the Easter Bunny would be coming out, he looked at his watch and said "Any minute."
The five of us wandered to the flagpole and were 3rd in line to see him when he came out.

Big smiles from the kids.




A kiss on the nose from Alli.

Waving bye-bye to the Easter Bunny.

Happy Easter!

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...
