Birthday Celebration

In January Lilly sent us an e-mail telling us that Disneyland was offering free tickets to anyone during the year on their birthday. My birthday happened to fall on a Saturday and so I signed up. I was sent a golden ticket which saved us $70.

When we went through the gate they gave me a badge to pin on saying Happy Birthday and my name. All day long workers and visitors would say Happy Birthday. It was fun.

The park was all decked out for Halloween. Many of the visitors were wearing costumes. It was pretty festive.

In the Haunted Mansion one of the workers that was dressed up slowly walked past us then quickly flipped around and said Happy Birthday. I thought I was going to have a heart attack.



We had so much. We are still kids at heart.






We ate lunch while watching the Billy Hillbillies. We loved their corny jokes.


It was fun to see the changes in "It's a Small World". It is as fun as ever with some new fun additions.






Toon Town isn't only for children.


This Halloween Tree looked really cool in the daytime and


night time.


Our favorite part of the day was watching Fantasmic and the Halloween Fireworks.

The fireworks were in Halloween colors as Disney Halloween music played. It was quite the way to spend your birthday. Disney really knows how to celebrate even with dancing in the streets.

Jared this one is for you. I can just imagine you out there having a great time dancing in the streets.

Thanks for the kind words. Dad and I feel so blessed to have the awesome children and their wonderful families that we have.
Hopefully this coming year will give us more opportunities to get together during fun times.

Hey moms. I want to go to Disneyland with you and DAD. Looks like you had a blast and yes I would love to be one of those guys dancing in the streets:)

Love you!

We will have to do that. I was realizing that I have never been to Disneyland with any of our grandchildren. Part of what is amazing about Disneyland is watching through the eyes of someone who has never been there before.
