Summer is officially over. I sent my two sweeties off to school today. Sad sad mommy. Well, I was super sad the week leading up to today anyway ... but today, I just enjoyed a long walk with Mayzie and am thinking a little free time to get something done might be nice!
I wanted the day before school started to be special, so we went to Disneyland yesterday. I have always hated DL because it is always so hot and crowded. Since the girls are older now and I wouldn't have to do Toontown, I thought maybe I would learn to like DL since everyone else in the world does. I said I would go on ALL the rides with the girls and really try to have a great day! It's the happiest place on earth - how could I not learn to love it?
I still hate Disneyland even with no crowds, short lines and an overcast sky. I started the day off going on Space Mountain and for the first few minutes, all I could do is laugh. It was so awesome!!! I was thinking - oh, let's go on this again and again and again - now I get it - this place is so funnnnnn! But then about half way through it, I started getting really sick. I have a tendency for motion sickness and with Hugh on my balance nerve, let's just say I went down hill fast. And it seemed every ride but the Jungle Cruise only made me feel worse. I went to bed last night with the worst migraine I ever remember having. I don't think I will be going back to the happiest place on earth for a long while.
But on a positive note - we went to Wild Rivers last week which is another place I usually detest. And I loved it. Maybe because I took my camera for the first time and took 800 pictures. Maybe because the girls had so much fun, it was just contagious. But I did really enjoy that day.
Here are a couple of pictures from some of our favorite summer activities:
Happy (dare I say) FALL!!! Suzy
Whaaaa! Why can't summer last and last? I think it's awesome that you went to Disneyland with your girls, but I'm sorry it ended so badly for you.
BTW, love the water slide pic. Very fun! :)

Your kids are lucky to go back so late. My kids have been back for 3 weeks now. Great pictures and it's sad when summer is over but I like the quiet days and my routine back now and the kids are happy going back to school. Sorry to hear your DW trip wasn't fun but good that you liked the water one. Hope to see some of your pages soon.

Oh dear, Suzy. I'm afraid I can no longer read you blog. How can you say you hate Disneyland?! How can you go to Disneyland and NOT post at least a photo?....... Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, you could always post a picture of the Teacups (tell me you got a picture of the Teacups!) and I might change my mind... :)

This is my 1st time in your blog and the 1st thing I read is " I *hate* Disneyland" GASP!!!! What??! And how can you skip ToonTown??!! OMGosh!! My ears!!!! You got sick because the *haters* cant possibly have fun in that magical place. It's going to be so hard to come back to your blog. LOL! Just kidding, I'm gonna continue to come back...and maybe make you love Disneyland.
I've never been to Disneyland (seen pictures) but I have been millions of times in DisneyWorld Orlando and I do have to say that as per what I've seen they are very different, I dont think I'd like Disneyland (as much as) after being to the Orlando Parks. So next time come down to Orlando and please go o Toon Town!!!
