Last Hoorah

So, we like to go to Disneyland a lot...so what! Yes, we went to "The Land" once again. We have annual passes and we need to get our money's worth, right? We have the middle-of-the-road passes which means we are blocked out Saturdays, holidays and for the summer. We are totally okay with that. Who wants to deal with the crowds or the heat?

We have Disneyland down to a science. We get there before it opens, Fast Pass what we can, ride what we want before it gets too crowded, then we're out of there. This time we were done by Noon. Usually, we combine it with another reason to be down in that area so we aren't driving all the way down there just to go there.

This was our last trip of the season. We decided to go alone. Billy wanted to hold hands and all that mushy stuff. Such a romantic.

Of course, we have to have the traditional "on the tram" picture to start off the day. Usually, I am not in the pic, but since it was just us, I thought I would try my hand at the self portrait.

Tram Riders
We headed to California Adventure first and spent most of our time there.

Does this bear have a name?
After looking through my pictures of the day, I seemed to have a couple of themes going. Bronze, Rock and Water. Not on purpose. It just happened that way.

Me and Walt or is that Walt and I...whatever
A coin-filled fountain.

Abstract Squares
Oh, and Food.

Our first Snack

Yes, they were.

Oh look, there's a sign about us!

Pool Time

So, I couldn't decide whether to call this one Pool Time or Fun in the Sun. In either case, I think we are officially there. The weather is warming up and people are starting to venture into their pools. I'm wearing thongs and walking into the water to cool off. I've got a new pair of shades and I'm downing the water like it's going out of style.

Summer is coming and before you know it, the kids will be out of school and vacationing pool side. And, I'll have to kick them out so I can keep that water crystal clear. 

I offer you today, pictures that will have you dying to jump in and cool off. Go ahead, make a splash!!!!

Beach Balls
Most of my pics are from some kid parties Zach and I have been invited to. They all have a theme and then end up in the pool. But this last year's party was actually themed around the pool and under the sea. Sweet!
