Disneyland

Bryce and I went to Disneyland on Thursday (8-20) and had a lot of fun!

It was also Bryce's last day of radiation. I think we did a good job celebrating! Apparently he got a certificate and was given an award for being upbeat or something like that.

He kicked my butt on the new Toy Story ride in California adventure and then we headed over to Tower of Terror. As we got into the line, there was a family of 5 in front of us (all dressed alike in orange t-shirts) and we noticed that they were speaking a different language. So we got closer. And Bryce decided to experiment with their personal boundaries by basically standing on TOP of the mom. Anyways, he figured out that they were speaking German! I told Bryce he should talk to them and freak them out since he served there. So he did! They weren't really freaked out, or anything, but they had a good chat while we were in line and I just stood there, smiling, since I don't speak or understand German.

The row of orange shirts behind us is the family from Germany!

As we were walking toward the exit of California Adventure, Bryce asked me if I had done the Animation Studio. (There's a few things to do in there, but we headed into the room where they teach you how to draw cartoon characters.) I hadn't, so we ran in and they were just starting a new session. That particular session was about how to draw Pluto. Mine came out looking like Baby Pluto - but whatevs.


We headed over to Disneyland park and ran straight to Indiana Jones. We made our way around the park and ended at Space Mountain.

We left early (like 6 pm-ish) because Bryce had other plans for us, i.e., a party in Beverly Hills. But that's for the next post...

Things that induce laughter/smiles/happy feelings in me today:

1. The video of Dr. J playing Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suite on guitar.

2. The dirty looks we got from the folks around us in line as they overheard our cancer jokes.

3. Disneyland churros.

4. Getting scared on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Stupid cannons.

5. Naptime in The Haunted Mansion.

6. Having such a fun friend!
