I’m going to Disneyland!

August 14, 2007 · No Comments

Oh, and I’ll take the kids too. My husband and I decided that a little mini trip was in order, since its about 1000 degrees Celsius in the shade here in Dallas.

Here’s what it is right now:

The kids are off to school next week, but at the end of this week, we’ll be chillin’ in the OC and visiting Mickey and Friends.

Check out this 10 day forecast for Disneyland, I mean.. Anaheim, CA. MUUUUCH cooler.Disneyland

Thank you, Weather.com.

It will be nice to give the kids this little vacation before they have to sweat in school rooms and try and cram information into their tiny brains, while avoiding heat stroke. They have been reasonably good children this summer, patiently sweating it out at home, thinking all the while that they had no vacation this year.

It’ll just be me and 2 of our 3 kids, since my nice husband has to work, and he would rather stick bamboo shoots under each fingernail and hammer them in firmly with a sledge hammer, than go spend one hot, sweltering day at the Disney parks with us. He’s not a fan of large crowds in warm weather, and he just barely survived last summer when we went to both Disney World and Disneyland.

I myself, would rather visit Disneyland in the cool, breezy autumn, but I have children, and if I want to take them with me, without having them miss a week of education, I have to brave the crowds.

I will recount my experiences in detail for you all to read about. I have recently sorted out my travel details, and I’m staying at a new place so I can report back to you, dear readers. I will share my past experiences along with the new, and I’ll take lots of pictures this time to post on the blog.

Coming very soon, all the details of booking my trip, and some things I learned.

don’t give your Mom the camera

July 8, 2007 · No Comments

Unless she knows how it works. Don’t go to Disneyland, and then hand your camera to someone who may not know how it works and expect to get a great photo. Sometimes it works out fine, and other times… you get a shot like this. Isn’t this great?

That’s me in front, with no head to put that hat on, and right next to me, my daughter’s elbow. She’s grown so much! My brother C’s elbow right behind me, he has my son on his shoulders, that’s his foot under C’s arm. And the upper torso and legs next to C is my brother D.

So yeah. Photo tip. You want that great group shot for the start of your day? Practice at home first, when you have lots of time to teach Grandma how the camera works. It is suprisingly difficult to get a turn standing in front of the famous flower bed in front of Disneyland. Once you’re up there, you can feel somewhat rushed by all the other folks who want to do the same group shot of their group. Which can lead to a photo like this one, if your photographer suddenly has 3 different cameras shoved at him/her, and doesn’t know how they all work.

Note to my brothers: Did anyone get a good group shot on this trip? can you email it to me? KTX
