Disneyland!!

Kimberly and I went to Disneyland yesterday :) and as always we had a good time.

California Adventure we visited first since it closed early. We headed over to Soarin' Over California it is the first ride that we always come upon. Then headed over to one of my favorite rides Toy Story Mania where Kimberly won again, I do not blame myself I had a faulty gun LOL! I tried a few new rides that I have been wanting to go on: Mickey's Fun Wheel and Mulholland Madness. The Ferris wheel was fun it went up really high, but after a few times around I was kind of over it. Kimberly and I screamed on the madness mini coaster, it was not a big coaster it was a bit rough and we were getting tossed around I was not expecting for it to be that fast. After we headed into towards the entrance and ate lunch at the Taste Pilots Grill.

Disneyland, one of may favorite places in the whole wide world, no matter how many time I go I am still excited when I find out I'm going. I do not remember the order of the rides we went on but I will try my best. We started with Space Mountain and I did not scream as loud as I thought I would. After I felt queasy, I guess we should have waited until our food went down. We saw Captain EO for the first time in a long time and I did not remember any of it so I guess it was like seeing it for the first time. The only thing new was that the floor moved, it was cool at first but they went over board with it and that made me more queasy. We went on the Buzz Lightyear Astro Balst ride and did not win that one either, not blaming the gun but myself I just not that into it. We headed over to It's a Small World which Kimberly was not that excited about. We went onward to Toon Town to go on the Roger Rabbit ride I love that one. When we got out of the ride it looked like it was going to rain so I wanted to go on Big Thunder Mountain since it was an outdoor ride. On the way there we went on the Tea Cups and we went were fast I love that one too! We made it to Big Thunder Mountain it rained but not that much. We ended up going on Big Thunder three times thought the day. It was weird because every time we went on we got the gate number 7 and one the third time we got train number 7. Anyone want to play the Lotto!! LOL. We also went on Pirates which we rode twice and walked on both times and went on the Haunted Mansion. Indiana Jones is always one of the more popular ride but yesterday I was surprised the wait was only 10 minutes and we also went on this one a second time throughout the day, I got to drive the second time which was fun. We had some down time too to rest up I love there popcorn so Kimberly and I rested and ate some popcorn and fed the ducks. After we were done we did Fantasyland and did every thing except for Mr Toads Wild ride and Perter Pan which were long waits. After that it was staring to get late and we want to rest again so we went to go get some ice-cream and it was really good. After we finished resting I wanted to go on Big Thunder again it is one of my favorite rides there (this is the third time we rode it). It was getting dark so the tunnels we go thought were dark and Kimberly got scared and screamed. We got off and we were hungry so we ate at the Mexican Restaurant next door. We had planned on going home after eating but I wanted to go on Big Thunder for the forth time but as we were waiting in line it broke down so we ended up going home. We took our time walking because we were tired and our feet hurt and made it to the tram. When I got home I was exhausted I had my mom give me a foot and back massage I watch T.V for a while and fell asleep. I was too tired to get up and wash my face and brush my teeth. Even thought I was so tired I had a great time. I cannot wait to go back :)

Family Visit

We have had company for the past two weeks from Guadalajara Mexico. We were very excited to have them stay with us. Betty's(who lives with us) daughter, son-in-law, and gran kids came for a Quinceanera. I consider them family. Karla and her two kids(Jacky5 and Alexandra 13 months) came first last Friday and stayed with her dad for the weekend. They made it to our house Sunday night the 21st and stayed in my room for their visit. I was not able to see the kids because they were already asleep but I helped Karla get situated and let her know where everything was. I was able to be home for their first day here which was nice because Betty had to work and I felt bad leaving them by themselves. I was able to see the kids then and they were so cute it was fun playing with them. I felt bad because I was not able to communicate with Jacky because she only spoke Spanish. Jacky one night got upset because she was not able to talk to me or my mom in English. For the rest of the week Karla went shopping buying clothes for her and the kids. She also had to find a dress for the party but she could not find shoes so she got them the day of the Quinceanera. We celebrated Betty's birthday and I was happy that Karla was able to be here and her moms birthday. Karla's husband Carlos got in the Thursday so they stayed at their dads again because he lives five minutes from the airport and I was able to stay in my room for the night :). They went to California Adventure the next day to surprise Jacky with a breakfast with the princesses she really loved it. Then came the party and it was a mad house over here with everyone getting ready for the party. But we have a good time at the dinner and dancing I actually got up and danced with was fun. They were suppose to go to Disneyland they next day but Jacky did not want to go she was so tired from the night before so they ended up going on Friday. They have a very busy week this week, they went to Sea World, Disneyland, and Karla wanted to visit some of her family. Today was a quite day and we went for lunch except for Jacky she wanted to stay because her cousins were coloring Easter eggs. They just left for the airport and it was sad to see them leave and I am glad that they had a good time. I cannot wait for them to come again.
