Disneyland

Today we're celebrating Phineas and Ferb at Disneyland! Specifically Perry the Platypus. My hat is just an ordinary platypus. They don't really do much. But Ian is wearing Special Agent P. Very nice.

Alli chose a princess hat, specifically Rapunzel. She really liked the long hair. After Luigi's broke down (no surprise there), we found ourselves on Mater's Junkyard Jamboree.

Then all four of us squeezed into one clamshell to ride under the sea and visit Ariel.

Alli was really excited waving at Ariel at the end of the ride.

With time to kill before our fastpass was ready, we spent some time in A Bugs Land. We're going to miss this place because of the short lines and fun kid rides.


While we were waiting in line for the Ladybug Boogie, Ian found a roly-poly. He should ride with us!

Despite having just the three of us, Ian said we had 4 (because he counted the roly-poly).


Ian and I took a ride on Guardians. He loved it, but I suppose it's difficult to get a good picture in anything but the front row with him. He's got his hands up for the camera and everything.

Next we'd planned to go to Disneyland, but as soon as Ian and I met back up with the girls, Frozen was about to start. Plans changed and we took in the hour long show, with Alli singing along to the songs she loves.

After the show we came over to Disneyland and started with a grand circle tour of Disneyland on the Railroad.

We actually went on a complete tour all the way around and then got off at the Toontown station.

Mickey and the Magical Map had just started so we found a spot on a bench and continued the show. Alli loved seeing Rapunzel.

When she saw her, she grabbed the long hair on her hat.


Much to my surprise, Alli was really excited to ride Gadget's Go-Coaster. I thought she was a little scared to ride this one before.

When both kids ride, that means Mommy has to take a spin too, despite the motion sickness.

Alli really surprised by holding her hands in the air at the start...

And keeping them up the entire ride! She said she likes to go fast!

Ian and I hopped into Goofy's car for a ride. Ian tried to steer and wondered why the steering wheel wasn't working. We blamed everything on Goofy having crashed his car into the mailbox for why things weren't working.

Then a ride on it's a small world, which Alli described as "slow".

And a ride on Buzz. Theresa giving the kids the "choice" of what to do next. Ride Buzz then go home, or just go home. The choice was clear, ride buzz then go home.

Having plush toys strategically right at the exit.

Walking out we caught a portion of the Pixar Play Parade. We'll have to catch this one sometime this summer.

Fun times today at the parks!

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...
