SERIOUSLY?

No, I mean seriously?

Yes folks. This here is a post of yet another Disneyland trip.
I think I'm getting a bit embarrassed. I mean, I used to blog on here
about our trips to the park, as in across the street from our house or
maybe -at best- the one(s) a few miles away. Lately though,
it's all about the "Happiest Place on Earth." That park.

Here's the deal: Our old, and dear, friends (pictured below with 1 of their 4 kids)

popped into town from San Antonio. They called to say,
"Hey, we're at Legoland right now." To which I responded,
"We're a mere 5 minutes away. We'll come meet you
'cause we can get in for free the last hour of the day."

We eagerly (see pic below) headed over to Legoland.
Thanks to our dear friends, along with good company
and a chance to catch up and reconnect, we ended up with
about 20 free tickets (2nd admittance deal if used within
like 60 days) to Legoland.

Our compadres were staying for close to 1 week
and as luck would have it, they were headed to
Disneyland the next day (and a couple more days after
that). So we joined 'em there too, hoping we wouldn't
cramp their style (it was a family reunion of sorts ...
all of the siblings and their spouses and kids from
one side of the family were here together for the week).

E and K say "Giddy-ap!" while we wait on modern
technology to help us find our friends.

Dumbo's got dates!

finally found- we met up with our friends
at Ca. Adventure Park
(after spying a great piece of cement to snatch up

for prime parade viewing- our 1st time 2 c this one)

the Monster's Inc. part o' the parade was spooktacular!

K got nice 'n cozy with the ground while E stood frozen, enthralled by it all

these guys were part o' the Toy Story section
(those who know Drew don't have to guess
who was taking the parade pics!)

the famous Mr. Potato Head himself ... in the skin?

I think the Cars gang brought things to a close.

Aside from the fact that I was barely capable of walking,
(of the joys of my third trimester) a good time was had by all.
It was so much fun to get together. I hope they come again.
No need to plan either, we can be just as flexible next time too.
