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!

Exploring and Re-enacting

So, me and a friend when to the Exploratorium for the day and then just this weekend we were Civil War Re-enacting (which I didn't get a lot of pictures). I got braces on Wednesday which have been very painful and a mouthful. So I guess I should get on with the pictures. :) I will start with the Exploratorium and then move on to the Civil War. So here we go!

 Here's where we sat down to eat lunch and I had to take a picture because the of big fluffy clouds!



This guy had been working on this for I think about 30 years! It is all made out of toothpicks and he's still not done! Yikes!


 We were almost to the Ghirardelli place but we made sure we stopped to rest since it took us quite a while to get there!

 Waiting for our ice cream......

And it came! Yay!


Sorry there wasn't very many pictures of that day. :(

 I had to throw in this yummy milkshake that my mom made because it was so good!

 On the way to the re-enactment

 The clouds were amazing driving up there

 One of the pictures that I'm proud of! Even my mom said she was impressed!

 The sign on our tent

 This is where I hung out most of the two days

 Some games. Graces is the hoop and sticks and then the other one is cup and ball which is quite fun!

 Pots 

 Some cups

 Our lantern 

 Our camp

 I was playing around with different shots

And last but not least, a picture that I drew while I was there. I made it using pastels that I brought with me and I think I'm going to hang this one of the wall! 


So that is all for today, I will post again when I have more pictures! :)
