Disneyland. . . or maybe not.

Wow!! The quickest way to my heart is to throw in a Disneyland Pass. It was such a generous treat when Tawny and Brandon offered Ryan and me a pass to Disneyland.

We had annual passes for the first two years of living here. But this last year with Kings games and all the other sports things we figured Disneyland would be left by the wayside too often. It’s a bummer that hockey is during the winter and fall months, and that Disneyland is busy in the summer months. Funny how it just doesn’t work out to have both.

I was so excited to get back to Disneyland again!! I was willing to go there alone and have Ryan just meet me there when he was done with work!! So exciting!!

It was going to work out perfect to take Austin and Aubrey to Disneyland with me and then we would meet up with Brandon and Ryan later that day. After the kids got home from school I piled them in my car blasted, Disney radio, and headed off to our day with Mickey, Minnie, and the gang!!

Little did we know that Austin and Aubrey would have a blackout day on their passes!! It was a little disappointing. I am not sure who was more saddened by the turn of events; me or the kids. That wasn’t going to get us down. We headed into the shops of Downtown Disney. All it took was a trip to the candy store and a pow-wow on the fountain bench for us to get our happy day back. It was so much fun to laugh and play with Austin and Aubrey. And better yet Brandon treated us to a movie!! What a great day it turned out to be!! We went in to see Horton Hears a Who. It was a little slow but I loved the story and the message. It released my love for Dr Seuss again.
I felt really bad for Brandon. He had to run to my car (all the way in the covered parking) get Austin’s booster seat and his coat, and then run back to pick up the kids. All the while the kids and I were enjoying the live music and looking in at the big Lego shop!

It was such a fun night! Ryan came shortly after, only he forgot his ticket. So instead of going to the park we went to dinner and headed home.

A big gigantic thank you to Tawny and Brandon for providing a fun night!! And an even bigger thanks to Austin and Aubrey for being my dates!! How can you not have fun with the little tikes!!

We ended up not being able to go to Disneyland before the passes expired. So since it was Sunday we gave the tickets to some of Ryan’s employees. It was a win either way!! They were so excited to go to Disneyland that it made it worthwhile to not be able to go. As long as the person would enjoy it as much or more then it was a good ending!!
