Pictured is Patrick and I on our recent excursion to space, helping Buzz Lightyear defeat archnemesis Zurg (Zorg?). Patrick beat me by thousands of points, then begged througout the day to go back to the ride so he could beat his score. What?!? No! We're at DISNEYLAND! There are OTHER THINGS to see! Ha! Oh wait...I can't post that picture. BOO!! Sorry...
So, Disneyland was amazing. It wasn't too crowded in the morning/afternoon thanks to school being back in session. Lines weren't more than 15 minutes for a long time, but when it started getting dark the park was exploding with people, probably b/c of the fireworks and light shows.
The fireworks were, by far, the best part of the whole day. Musical accompaniment featured such favorites as the Indiana Jones theme, the Star Wars theme, When You Wish Upon a Star, the Mainstreet Electrical Parade theme, and some cheezy song they wrote that said "wishes" every other word (which, consequently, was set to a minor 3rd...a musical paradox of sorts). Anyway, any fireworks show that makes good use of John Williams is #1 on my list!
Other favorites included: Space Mountain! Woohoo!!, Pirates of the Carribbean, now updated with Johnny Depp look-alikes that are SCARY REAL, pineapple whip in the Tiki (tiki tiki tiki tiki) Room, the PARADE!, having the barbershop quartet sing "Happy Bday" to me, and re-living moments from last time I went in third grade, like when I got lost and decided to stay right next to the Sword in the Stone, sitting on Matt and Steve's shoulders for the parade, making fun of Amanda b/c she was more scared of things than I was, avoiding the Jungle Cruise, and singing into Snow White's wishing well, mimicking her whiney little voice.
It really IS the happiest place on earth!!!!

Love it. So fun to read about your time in Disneyland. My favorite part was when you talked about all the memories from when I was with you. I don't remember when you got lost, but I don't doubt it. I totally remember the singing into the well thing. One of my own memories is riding on the Yellow Submarine ride at night when there was no line, and believing that I was really under water. I also remember Amanda flirting with some guy who worked at DL. I also remember riding the teacups.
What? We weren't really under water? This sounds so fun Paige! I hope that someday I can go back! I think it's funny that I can remember you getting lost on at least 3 different family trips: Crown Center, Disneyland, and Disneyworld (yes--you and Deb got lost!).
Not so!
so i was going to comment on how it seemed to me that you found two new friends in Ventura to replace the hole in your heart that is "jakey"...but then i realized that they are your sisters. so i blushed a pomegranate shade of red and send you (and your sisters) my deepest apologies. I should have known nothing could ever fill that hole. i miss you like whoa! serrrriously. like whoa!
i spelled a word wrong...tried to fix it without you noticing. but totally got caught. the two before my real post were all mine. woops!
