Today's Disneyland Adventures

We went to Disneyland today, we are on the count down to having no annual passes.  We just don't have room in the budget, I am sure you can understand.  So we have 41 days left, and we are trying to make the most of it.  We went last Thursday night also, but forgot the camera, so I am glad we remembered it today. 

I heard they had updated It's a Small World and  Rivers of America so we made a special visit for that today.  Steve and Greyson say they didn't notice any changes other than sponsor for It's a Small World, but I think they added a few new Disney characters including Mulan, and Cinderella.  I think the rest has been updated in structure and dolls with the moving mouths.  I however am no expert on this ride.   
 While we were there we also went on the newly refurbished Thunder Mountain Railroad. This happens to be the boy's favorite ride so we went on it twice.  The first time I rode with Parker and took some pictures the second time with Greyson where he proceeded to put new meaning on the corner game.  For not weighing much Greyson can really hit you on those turns.  Ouch I will be hurting for a few days.
as we were whipping by I even got a shot of the goat with the dynamite. 

We also went on the Story Book Ride,  honestly we could not tell if anything had changed since we hadn't been on it in forever. But here are a few pictures of us.
And another favorite ride of ours is Astro Blasters.  There is just something about killing that evil Zurg, that we all like so much. 
Well I hope everyone had as great of a Sunday as we did. 
XXOO,

Scout O Rama

Today we went to Scout O Rama, or otherwise known as Kids on crack event.  I say this because some kids were seriously out of control.  Including Parker who seemed to want to throw a few fits while we walked around because he didn't do well on an event. 

We did some cool things and Parker earned his good manners belt loop.  Even though he threw a tantrum while doing it.  Seems standards are a bit low.   I wouldn't have given it to him if I was in charge.  

The boys got to ride on homemade go carts down a ramp,  Greysons cart went further.  Then they got to shoot rubber band guns at army men, dinosaurs and what not.   Quite a few booths devoted to this theme. Another heavily used them was box hockey.  Seriously what the heck?  Yeah we didn't stop at any of those.  Rope bridges and bowling alley were also pretty cool.  Steve was wondering why there were no Plinko games, apparently that was the event they did when he was in cub scouts.  Hummmm... I am thinking Tigers need to make a Plinko board next year. 

My favorite booths however were the ones with food.  They had sticky buns, funnel cakes, quesidilllas, pizza, onions with meatballs and more made by the kids.  There were also Carl's Jr. Trucks with food because they were one of the sponsors.  

Overall had some fun, saw some friends from the pack, and on the way out wished we had gone to the beer fest that was at the next exit.  Seriously how did I miss that???
