Christmas Card for 2016

 Mom and I took this photo back in July.  We already had the idea, so we decided, why wait?   The photo shoot was way back on July 10th.  The girls next door (Lilly-Anna and Charlotte-Elsa) were going on vacation.

It was warm wearing polar fleece but Mom tried to take pictures fast.  Unfortunately, Lilly wasn't really into it, but she stayed until we were done.

 There was some goofiness....

 And even I gave Mom some attitude, until Dad had some words with me.

 Are we ALMOST done?

 Stop taking pictures, we are done.

Fortunately, Charlotte (Elsa) really wanted to be doing this!!!!  I'm glad that this is long over, and it was really nice that the girls next door could help out.

Disneyland Likes and Dislikes

 We stayed at this awesome hotel called the Grand Californian.  It was all in the Craftsman Style.  We ate a lot at the Storyteller's Cafe, located in this hotel.  I LIKED the Storyteller's Cafe.  They made great allergy free pancakes!  Thank you Disneyland chefs.  I also liked this place because I got to hug

 bears!

raccoons and chipmunks.  I never got tired of this.  After breakfast, we did the Indiana Jones' ride.  I did NOT  LIKE this ride.  Too scary, and I felt like I was going to throw up again.  I didn't mind The Pirates of the Caribbean.

 We went on The Columbia (a replica).  I did LIKE this.  This was a ship that sailed around South America to the Pacific NW in the late 1700's, about 20 years before Lewis & Clark.

At the pink castle with Mom.  Did I mention that there are a ton of princesses here!  

 By the time we made it into the castle, Dad and I were tired.  We sat under a picture of Sleeping Beauty.  As far as princesses go, she is on the "lame" list.  I couldn't watch her movie because it bored me to death.

 Even though it was 90 degrees, we found some "Frozen" areas.

I DID LIKE It's a Small World.  I went on that ride about three times.  After this, we took a break.
