All 16 of us in one whole boat on Pirates of the Caribbean 
Electric Parade
Paradise Pier Hotel (sideways)
Katie and Aidan on Buzz Lightyear 
Dad and Asher on Maliboomer As you all know I Felicia and I had the opportunity to spend a week with the Brownings and Mom and Dad in Disneyland. The Rowleys even showed up to for a couple of days to increase the excitement of it all. I know much of it has to do with the fact that I grew up vacationing in Disneyland but it really is, at least one of, the happiest places on earth. It doesn't matter if you are in a bad mood, once you sit down in one of the rides or some sort of entertainment begins you can't help but smile. That very thing happened to Felicia and I on our last day. We were in a bit of a disagreement of what we should be doing next and so we sat down to apologize to one-another and one of the employees there came up to us and asked if we'd like to ride the Toy Story ride that wasn't opened to the public yet. We had actually headed to that part of the park just to ride it but were turned away. We were so excited we couldn't help but smile and forget about what was bothering us. It was a really fun ride ride presented in 4D (meaning we were able to interact with the ride). We were followed by that luck the rest of that night. We got a pineapple float for nearly half the price because of a mess up on their part, were able to see the Electric Parade, fireworks show, and Fantasmic water show. Then while waiting in line to get an ice cream sundae an older couple behind us gave us 6, yes 6, fastpasses to any ride in the park! The got them from a Disney tour they were on but weren't going to use them. So we were able to ride Indiana Jones, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Space Mountain, our three favorites, all within about an hour before the park closed. It was a great farewell to our last night there. Being there with Mom and Dad and the Brownings, being able to experience the excitement with first time kids, having the benefit of short waits with Scottie's wheelchair, and the added life to the party the Rowelys brought, made this trip the best one yet! I wished so much to be able to go back to when we were kids and experience it all as a happy Anderson vacation that we had so many times. What do you remember about our Disney trips?

I remember how I always ended up throwing a fit before the picture in front of the flowerbed came. So its appears that little Emily never went on any of those, when in fact, I was probably on the cement being a little stink. lol.
No but seriously, you know that I'm jealous of you two (and everyone else) for getting to go to Disneyland. I love that place too.
I have such fond fond memories of Pirates, The Haunted Mansion, watching the electric parade, eating candy, and swimmin. It was good times indeed. I better stop now before the nostalgia makes me forget how much I like the present. :D I love your pictures, especially when you explain them to me. lol.
Did you know that Molly means bitter? Well it does and that is exactly how I feel about all of you guys going to Disneyland. The last vacation I went on was nine years ago when I got married. I am so happy that you could have Thanksgiving in Disneyland with out the rest of us. Maybe some day I can convince my husband that Disneyland is a fun place not just a big Lagoon.
I'm so glad you've already posted. I'll try to get mine up in August. Love the pics. Sorry I threw up when I talked to you today.
I don't wanna talk about this! Molly I'm with you -thanks for rubbing it in our face John! Glad you had fun!
