"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

It's Not Over... Until It's Over...

I bet none of you knew this, but our family went to Disneyland this last Friday. Don't worry, I'm not going to overload you on pictures you don't really want to see just because I have an inner need to chronicle my obsession. (At least, I'll try). But I thought I should upload a few... I know, prepare yourself.


Meeting Mickey at Club 33. Because of an in-the-know brother-in-law, we got the rich man's treatment at poor-man's rates. A good meal, although E hit her "too much fun" climax here and ended up licking the windows. Hmmmm, do rich people's kids do that? She got back on track after dessert though with a classic E statement: "I'm done with my dessert. My tummy says it's had enough sugar."

I think E's favorite "ride" was walking in Sleeping Beauty's castle. She was glad to hear that Malificent was pretend.


E's favorite princess.....
The top three moments of Disneyland would have to be:

1. E pulling down her pants and underwear just outside of Toon Town because she had to go to the bathroom. I really hope she wasn't actually planning on going.

2. M offering her half-masticated (for those of you who are going to make fun of me - "half-chewed" bread) - see above picture - to Belle. Don't you want a bite, don't you?
3. E announcing after the fireworks that she wanted to go home because she was tired. Hey, at least she's honest. I think Dad shouted Hurray at that one, and we went home.
We all had a great time. Now we'll have to think of something else to obsess over.

I'm so happy for E, I would love to see her with the Princess'. Which by the way in Elisabeth's 9 year old world are still real, even if Mickey and the others are not!

Yay for Disneyland. We went last Monday and it was rainy, but not crowded. Did you have better weather?

Btw, we met that same Cinderella.
