So, it's late Thursday night, and my eyes are sleepy. The family went to Knott's Berry Farm on Tuesday, and Disneyland on Wednesday. What a fun couple of days we had! Both parks have delight in them; and this was a good time to go. Knott's was a little busy because of the Veteran's Day holiday, but all of the military families were so nice. Knott's graciously invited military folks for free, for the entire month of November. God bless 'em.
Fun things at Knott's:
-Listening to females shriek and scream as they begin the ride on "Supreme Scream."
-"Winning" the 3 little ducks in the duck pond thingie.
-Seeing people get squirted at the stunt show.
-Seeing Cristi's delight at the "smashed penny" machines.
Fun things at Disneyland:
-Watching Dave enjoy the Monte Cristo sandwich in New Orleans Square.
-Jedi Training Academy - LOVE this show. The chosen kids really get into it.
-Showing Jasmine the ducks at the river in Disneyland.
-Shaking the hand of Billy Hill of "Billy Hill and the Hillbillies" - these guys are hilarious, and are incredible musicians and showmen.
-Seeing Cristi with her "twin" Princess Aurora.
-The beautiful flowers, all over the place.
-Watching the crew clean up the sidewalk, RIGHT after Fantasmic - trash is banished from Disneyland.
Dave is so kind. Drove 3 sleepy passengers safely home from the Magic Kingdom. No small task. We dozed off and on, and Dave stayed on duty.
We got home and in bed about 1 AM - sadly, I turned my alarm off at 5:30, instead of hitting the "snooze" button - Dave awoke me with "Eva, it's 6:22." I have to be to work by 7. I had space eyes at work, but made it through. We bought personalized Mickey ears for Mr. Cole, my boss. He liked 'em. ;-)
I just watched Anna~bu's video doc on the Simpson president - wow - great job. Very informative, very fun, very touching, very honoring. It's one for Simpson's Archives. I do love that girl and am so proud of her.
What I'm learning: God is reminding me of His goodness, and I want to be more appreciative. I want to be less selfish. I also want to go to bed, so I think that's the one I'm going to do right now.
Remember that you're loved, all day long, by the High King. G'night.
