Disneyland on Sunday

After getting all our chores and everything done earlier in the weekend, our Sunday was wide open. T and I planned on taking a long walk with the kids somewhere. Hmm, maybe the beach, or a local park... Well why not Disneyland? Yes we were just there a couple days ago. No reason we can't go again.
I had said earlier that Alli was really into ducks. When I was picking out hats this morning, she was loving this Donald Duck hat and looks so cute in it!

Ian saw my bin of hats and wanted to wear a Monster's Inc hat. That's our first stop today! Being Sunday, it's pretty busy. About a 20 minute wait for Monsters today.

2319! There's a kid here! A human kid!

Twenty minute waits are the norm is seems like. Another 20 minute wait, for Ariel this time.

Squeezing 4 into a clamshell.

Lunchtime! Instead of hot dogs, we're trying chicken nuggets today. And since they came from the Smokejumper's Grill, we got to hit up the toppings bar with pickles, tomatoes, and ranch dipping sauce.

After lunch, I'd thought of going on Mickey's Fun Wheel. Alli is at the stage where if she's recognizes something, she'll yell it out and point. All we heard for the last few minutes walking around Paradise Bay has been "MICKEY!" as she points to the fun wheel. Getting closer, we saw it was closed, so instead we continued on to King Triton's Carousel.

Mmm. Enjoying the popcorn!

Alli, what color do you want to ride? "Bweew!"

When we asked Ian what he wanted to ride, he said "The bench!" Really? You could ride a fish, a whale, an otter, a dolphin. Which do you want? "A bench!" Okay...

Feeding the ducks is always on our agenda. Here there's more seagulls than ducks, but they enjoy the remains of the french fries and chicken nuggets all the same.

Trying to find a ride that has a short line. Over in A Bug's Land, the kids and I found ourselves in line for Francis' Ladybug Boogie. Emphasis on the boogie part. The kids both enjoyed dancing while waiting in line.

And liked to spin too.

DCA was really filling up, and I'm sure Disneyland isn't much better. Once we entered of course it was super crowded. We walked down Main Street back to the Mad Tea Party. They had the extended queue set up there. Maybe the carrousel? Nope, extended queue set up there too.
Well I know one place that doesn't really have much of a queue. The Tiki Room! After a few minutes wait, we made it in to the next show.

And because we could, after the show was done, we walked around the building and hopped back in line to watch it one more time.

Someone was certainly worn out. Once we got to the car, she pulled her Duffy bear up to her face and fell asleep.

Well T and I had intended on going for a long walk today. After walking from the parking structure and all around the parks, we logged over 8 miles! Not too bad at all.

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...
