Disneyland

So this last weekend we went to Disneyland! My cousin works there and was able to get three was able to get three of us in for free. We still had to pay for a fourth ticket but to get three of us in for free is awesome! We were also able to switch between parks which was very fun!

The first park we went to was California Adventure. And the first thing we rode was Tower Of Terror. Its not my most favorite ride in the world but I still went on it because my cousin persuaded us to go on. Its my mom's favorite ride but not the rest of us. My mom and my cousin were able to go on it again, twice in a row, because it was early morning and no one was there in line for it. And although it felt like my heart was in my stomach, I kind of enjoyed it.

So here are some pictures that I took throughout the day. I hope you enjoy!

 On our way there, we stopped at In-N-Out Burger for dinner

 The sunset was so much cooler then this and this picture does not do it justice. But unfortunately I was using my iPod so the camera isn't that great

 You can't really see our faces in this picture but my dad did antlers, my mom her hands up, you can't see my brothers face because of the woman in front of him and I looked completely scared. 

  Radiator Springs!! It was just like you walked in to a movie and we all enjoyed it!

 Not my favorite shot but here it is anyways

 Well, I guess this one isn't either but we were walking to the Cars ride so I didn't really have a lot of time to stop and take pictures 

 Next we headed over to the Toy Story ride but I don't remember the name of it

 My dad beat me but I had more accuracy then he did :)

He's not certified?! And he only has enough of the courses? Uh oh.. We are in for a wild ride!

 Here's the waterfall and the bridge that Sally and McQueen pass on their ride

 This was the only video that I was able to take of the ride because we were going pretty fast at one point

 My faces in these pictures are priceless! Lol, I look completely confused! 

 After we got off of the Soarin Over California ride, there were people looking up at the sky so we looked up also and there was this heart!

 My mom, my cousin and I went on Splash Mountain as single riders because the line to ride all together was almost a hour long wait. And again with my faces, I look completely terrified. Hahaha!

 I took along my little stuffed Winnie the Pooh so that I could take pictures of him in different places but we were walking around a lot and I never really got the chance. So here he is on the Pooh ride but even though we were going really slow, the background is blurry. Oh well. 

 Can you guess what they are saying on all of these? :) I edited this picture on my iPod and it looked really cool but it doesn't keep it on the photo once you transfer it to the computer... :\

 Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! I got to drive with my brother and I was telling all the people we ran into sorry in a British accent. It was quite fun! But it has a very tragic ending which I had forgotten about.

 Since a lot of people were taking pictures in front of the castle, we decide we would probably get a better shot from this side of the castle. And we did!

 I really like this shot but again the editing made it look better

 We got to see all of Iron Man's suits!!! It was super cool!

 Captain America's original suit!! We also got to meet him!! Of course he wasn't the real actor but it was still really cool!

 We also got to meet Thor!! It was awesome.

 Route 66!

 We headed back into Radiator Springs to walk around it a bit more and take some more pictures

 While we were there, they played the song that was in the movie and turned on all the lights! It was amazing!

 Another picture of Flo's

 Luigi's! 

 Ramones!

 And Luigi's again :)

 The Cozy Cone! Unfortunately there was no vacancy... ;)

 And that light is still blinking.. Lol

 Mind your speed as you go, sheriff's old but he ain't slow!

And there's that rock! My mom said it felt like we were in Utah 

 Look! Its McQueen and Sally! ;)

 Soon. Soon you will be a beautiful butterfly. 

 The Hollywood Tower Hotel at night

 The reflections of the other lights were horrible on this but here are some of the outfits from Once Upon A Time! And they also had the book of fairy tales there

 World of Color!

And still World of Color! 


Well, that is all I have today! I hope to post again soon!

Yosemite

So once again my mom wanted to go to Yosemite and so we asked some friends to go along with us. They ended up not being able to come so I asked one of my friends if she would like to come with us. She was able to so we headed up to Yosemite the next day! Since the next day was May Day, we made a little paper cone with lavender in it for our neighbors. We make a little something for them every year and I really enjoy it. So I had to get up early that morning to deliver all of the cones. After that we headed to my friends house and then headed to Yosemite! I have to admit that even though I don't like going that much since we go a lot, it was a pretty fun day!

So here is some pictures that I took that day. :)

This is one of the first pictures I took that day. The river was going very fast!

 This is Mirror Lake. I can see how it got its name ;)

 This almost looks like something out of the Lord Of The Rings...

 Look! I found Kristof's family! 

 This is very popular in a lot of national parks. There is one spot by Mirror Lake that has a lot of them. So here's the one I made.

 I loved the look of this tree and that it was growing on a rock!

 There was lots of Dogwood trees in bloom and they were all very pretty

 This is one of the popular spots to get a picture of Half Dome

 This is where you can get a good view of both of the Yosemite Falls

 This is the Lower Yosemite Falls. It was really windy we did get wet!

 Selfie!

 Another picture of the Falls

 Tunnel View

 A panorama shot and there a random dog that photobombed... Lol

 Another panorama shot

 Here is the little U.S, Geological Survey.

 Heading home! 

The sky was beautiful on the way home



So that is all for today. Sorry for the picture quality. I had them edited on my iPod but then when I save them onto my computer it doesn't have the edited version...  So sorry about that. But I hope you enjoyed looking at all the pictures!
