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!

Tanaka Farms 2017 - Pumpkin Patch

Welcome to Tanaka Farms! Technically it's Fall, but you wouldn't know it based on the weather here. High 80s and no clouds in the sky. We'd originally planned to go to a pumpkin patch weeks ago, but the temps were in the high 90s! A few of our neighbors took the 45 minute drive south with us. Our timing was great this morning. We arrived just a few minutes before opening at 9am. Nice shirts! Apparently everyone else decided to spend their Sunday morning at the pumpkin patch too. We were just at Disneyland yesterday. It was every bit as crowded here. Oh boy. Someone got that kid a map. Parking is free here. Entry is just $3. For $10 you can get entry, a wagon ride, and entrance to the petting zoo. Kids 2 and under were free. Before it got too busy we decided to get the wagon ride in. We've got a whole family of Mickey and Minnie ghosts. The wagon ride was a quick 10 minute drive around the perimeter of the farm. There's no narration or anything telling you what you...

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 ...
