Friends at Disneyland

Surprise! We went to Disneyland again. Well, most of us did. Kirk had to work on Tuesday and had planned to go fishing at Diamond Valley Lake on Wedneday, but when he called on Tuesday afternoon to reserve a boat he found out they were all booked up. So, he ended up doing stuff around the house and enjoying being alone for a bit. I had planned to meet up at Disneyland with a friend from Huntington Beach and her kids and another friend from HB, then found out that my friend from Utah, Tamara, was coming into town and going to Disneyland too, so I made plans to meet up with her there too. It was going to be a full and fun day. It turned out that Colleen's son had a last minute schedule change and had to play baseball, so they weren't able to make it and Tamara found out that her old college roommate from Texas was there too! So, when I met up with Tam, we decided to get together the next day at her hotel instead. It was probably better this way because boy was it crowded! Allyson met up with us at about 4:00 (we had gotten there around 2:00). We spent the first half of our day in California Adventure doing some new stuff that we've never done before - Playhouse Disney Live on Stage (well, Avery and Justin hadn't seen it yet anyway), Monster's Inc, Muppet's 3D (scared poor Devin!) and the Pixar parade.Then we went over to Disneyland to catch the Celebration parade (I thought it was pretty weak), hit Star Tours (Only a 1 minute wait, if you can believe that!!!), dinner and Small World and ended the night watching the fireworks. Even though it was crazy busy it was very fun. We then went to my parents to spend the night and hang out on Wednesday. It's always a nice time doing that. And my mom watched the kids while I went down to Newport Coast to visit with Tamara for a bit. Thanks, Mom!
