Disney Land part 1

Okay everyone! Here is the report from our California adventure!

Day one: We left our house at 8:00AM and drove all day long with our friends Andrea and Jason, and their daughters Emma and Alli. (all in the same vehicle). We got to our KOA campsite in pamona at about 10:00PM that night, set up our tents and sacked out! By this time, Andrew was already sick and throwing up every solid meal. Yuck.

Day two: California Adventure park all day long! We saw lightning McQueen and Mater, explored a whole world of Bugs Life rides, Monsters inc rides, and lots of other fun stuff.

Day three: Sunday we woke up to a lake in our tent. It had rained all night, and when we woke up we realized that the rain flap was not doing it's job. we were all soaked, and freezing! It did nothing for poor andrew's illness. He spent the entire trip cuddled on my shoulder. We made an emergency trip to Target for a tarp to put on the tent, and then went to the pier to see the Aquarium of the Pacific. What a mad house! It was soooo busy. But it was really fun because we could pet sting rays and sharks, and they had all kinds of cool displays and tanks. We had lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co, because you can't go to the coast without getting some great sea food! That night after we got the kids to bed, Jason stayed and played video games while Andrea, Mike, and I went back to disneyland to get on all the adult rides. We rode every adult ride in both parks within 4 hours! That was great!

Day four: Actual Disney Land! We did it all! Mouse ear hats, breakfast with the characters ( that cost a pretty penny but it was so worth it ) all the fun rides. Josh loved the toon town where you could go through Mickey and Minny's houses and then meet them. We just had so much fun! We stayed until the fireworks at 10:00, and then went back to camp.

Day five: Mike, Andrea, and I got up very early to drive down to Hollywood. Mike drove Andrea and I to the Paramount studios, where we went to a taping of Dr. Phil. It was really fun! It ended up being kind of a smutty episode, but the experience was still really fun. So if you like that sort of thing, I think the two episodes were called "caught in the act" and a little bit of "exebitionists". I guess I need to watch them to see if Andrea or I get any face time on national TV! That afternoon, Mike and Jason (who had broken camp and packed the car) picked us up and we started home. We go home at 4:00AM Wednesday morning.

So there you have it! That's the story, and I will keep uploading pictures as fast as my internet connection will allow! Love you all!
