Summer Fun!!

I spent a lot of money this Summer, but had a blast doing so!! Here a few of my favorite things I did this Summer.



This was my first time EVER going to Disneyland and California itself! I was so excited to finally experience what everyone had been talking about for so long!


I didn't get too many pictures of myself in Disneyland or CA Adventure because my friend and I were going all day everyday to make sure we got to ride as much rides as possible. I had my pedometer with me and we walked an average of over 5 miles a day!! My feet were so sore and I had 3 blisters!



Here I am being brave on the new Cars ride. The picture below is me being not so brave on the Tower of Terror. I held on to the side railing for dear life, as you can see on my face - I love that ride (said very sarcastically!!)!


It was very fun anyway! I also went of California Screamin that same morning! As my friend said,

"I think you need to treat it like a band-aid and just rip it off. You need to just do these two rides and get them over with."  I did and I made her go on Mickey's Fun Wheel which was not her favorite ride. :o)


I was a little nervous about Space Mountain, but I LOVED it! This was our second time riding it. My only regret is that I wore my glasses so my hands aren't as high as they could be because I am holding them (the glasses). I didn't get any pictures from Splash Mountain. We learned that you should only go on Splash Mountain in the morning if you want to be wet for the rest of the day!!!! There was sooo much water, probably because it had refilled over-night. The only thing that was dry was where my arms were on my leg and my armpits... otherwise all was soaked including my purse. 





No Disneyland trip would be complete without the castle and fireworks! It was standing only and I was so sore! I never did see Tinkerbell or Dumbo fly over the castle. I must have been paying too much attention to my feet...


We had great seats for this show. It was fun!!


I will post more later - these are just pics from my iPhone! It really has been a fun summer!!

Trials of Surgeries

I just got a phone call from my mom. The knee surgery has been postponed due to a discrepancy in an EKG that was done two weeks ago. My mom is so bummed right now because she just wants to get it over with. I am also a bit frustrated that they can't look over an EKG until the night before the surgery?!! Really?! I am still going to go over there, as hopefully they can schedule it again soon. Also hopefully the EKG will turn out to be nothing...

Leaving

It is so hard to get your house ready before you leave for an extended period of time. I don't want to return to a messy house, but I also don't want to spend the time cleaning right before I leave. I am caught in the middle of an apartment in Spokane!! I haven't been very good at updating this blog. I will be better this summer as my mom is having a total knee replacement surgery and I am going to be taking care of her. I will have LOTS of time on my hands. As for Junior, well, he is a Canine Good Citizen failure. He did not pass his exam last Thursday and he now needs to take a reactive dog class.... YET another class!!! This dog really is as expensive as a child!

Finally gave in to the blogging world

I have been meaning to create a blog for years. I am finally adding it to my priority list. One of these days I will even know how to be creative on here. As for now, I am just glad to have joined the world of blogging. I hope that I will have a few readers along the way.
