"To all those who come to this happy place: WELCOME."
I have what some might call 'the poor man's pass' to Disneyland. I love it because it's worth every dime. However, it is a little sad because during the summer, there is a big chunk of time that my pass doesn't work. By the time August hits, I'm licking my chops! To avoid the crowds, I promised myself that I wouldn't go the first day us poor folk were allowed entry but I just couldn't resist the temptation! Coincidentally, I had nothing going on that day so we loaded up and headed out! Thankfully, my friend Summer was free to play that day so she and her girls met up with us.
For some reason, Collin was happier with Summer...
And Berkley was pretty fond of me!
Collin wasn't so fond of the scary Snow White ride...
But she LOVED the Carousel!
Cute stroller buddies.
~Taking advantage of my pass...Take 2!~
Last night we decided to ditch the strollers and make it a late night at the park.
We rode every funnest ride.
Had some special moments...
Got Soaked...
Almost got hit by the big bolder on Indiana Jones... And shut down the park!

I think we were all a little past our curfew! Oops. Thank goodness for late night Olympics!

So fun! You are truly a crack up and bring SO much life to the party!

Jenny said...

One more thing: We've always called our passes "scumbag" passes. I've asked a few people over time, "Do you have the scumbag pass?" only to get awkward looks. I'll keep that one to myself from now on...
