Disneyland Adventure!

Wednesday - July 31 -- Disneyland

The Lord blessed us with wonderful weather and a timely commute to Anaheim to see Disneyland. Dave took way too many photos... AGAIN. (about 350)

This is me, Mom, and Joyce off on a horse-drawn trolley ride.

Cassie-this photo is for you...

We did see some other famous people along the way...

Joshua - do you recognize this guy?

Highlights included a trip to the Magic Kingdom

 A couple train rides...

A trip aboard the Mark Twain steamboat

Another favorite was the "It's a Small World" ride...

And the "Beauty and the Beast" Show...

And the Soundsational Parade (of which I have an abundance of colorful photos)...

Joyce booked us at a hotel that is just across from the entrance of Disneyland. So that worked out really great. It's name is the Park-Vue...

We checked into our room about 8:30.  Mom and Joyce were too tired to head back for the fireworks, but I headed back about 8:50 here to see the 9:30 show.  The rumor going around the crowd was that Disney spends about $45,000 each week on fireworks.  Don't know about that, but those fireworks were amazing - took more photos, but few turned out....here are a couple.

The photos don't come close to doing the show justice.  Also loved seeing Tinkerbell and Dumbo flying over the castle. Amazing!

Finished the night with a ride on the monorail ...

 and the Peter Pan "boat show,"

Got back to the room about 11 pm - everyone was sleeping...

Good night!
