Up early yesterday to make "magic hour" at 7am at Disneyland. That's honestly a bit too early for me, BUT WE HAD A FABULOUS TIME!!!! My best trip to Disneyland hands down. We went on a million rides -- 11 each, to be exact -- AND Harper danced with Mary Poppins AND we saw a dope parade. (The Disney "cast member" playing Mary Poppins seriously looked just like Anne Hathaway. I mean really. Woudn't that be crazy if she actually had been Anne Hathaway?)
Amy went on Splash Mountain. I was not fixing to go on Splash Mountain. That ride is buck assed crazy. You get soaking wet!!! Harper and I watched that log she was in get dunked. I cracked up and I think Harper was enthralled. That child's mama is up for it...
EXHIBIT A: My wife, Amy Hope Peterson (aka: "mama"). Amy and I started calling each other "mommy" and "mama" shortly after Harper started addressing us by our first names (she might have been two). Being called "Kenya" by my baby girl is =not= my jam, so nowadays Amy hears me use her given name maybe three times a year. In addition to pretty much always being up for fun, mama is also a good sport. :-)
We're staying the night at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. There's an awesome wave pool here and a lazy river! We'll hang out at the pools tomorrow morning then we'll drive over to Zion Park in Utah. It's lovely there (though I've not been at this time of year before). I'll let y'all know how that goes...
NEW SUBSCRIBE FUNCTION! I spent a good hour or more tonight trying to figure out how to allow readers (y'all) to subscribe to this blog so you can get email notifications when I post new entries. Although honestly, there is something romantic about imagining everyone madly checking several times a day in hopes of finding a new blog post. I did my best with this whole subscribe thingy. You'll find the subscribe option in the right hand sidebar --->.
I also tweaked the comments permissions to make commenting easier.
