Disneyland and Safari Park

Wow!!! I am a SLACKER! The last post I wrote was in January!! Luckily for me Patrick has picked up some of the slack but I have really missed out on recording our family story in 2011. Well I guess it is time to play a little catch up. I think I will start with the most recent and work my way back. Well here we go October which vanished before my eyes. Autumn is one of my favorite seasons but autumn in San Diego is different than autumn on the East Coast. I hardly noticed the season had changed.

We met Phil, Erin and crew at Disneyland on October seventh for Mickey's Halloween Party. Andy was so excited to see Mickey Mouse and of course his cousins! He has become quite the Mickey Mouse fan over the last year. Mickey, Pluto, Donald, Daisy, Mini, Goofy, Pete and even at times the Giant often go along with us to our different errands. I even have to buckle Pluto in, the rest have hands and can do it them selves....thank goodness.

Andy trying out Patrick's costume in the Hotel before it was time to go.

Look at those muscles!

So excited to take a picture in front of a build with  Mickey on the clock.

Andy choose our costumes this year. He wanted to be a dragon,   I was a princess,  Patrick was a knight.  His story was he was going to catch mommy and daddy would have to save her. Then they would both win. 

Andy wanted to dance with Pluto so bad but he was a little shy.  We spent  at least a half hour trying to dance with him.

The beginning of the Parade.

Enjoying a churro and watching for Mickey and other favorite Disney characters. 

We road the Buzz Light Year ride at least five times in a row.  It was Andy's  favorite and there was no line  at  the end of the night.

 Andy is a real trooper I didn't think he was going to last until the close but he did and enjoyed every moment! Then crashed as soon as we got in the car! Such a fun night!

The next day Phil, Erin and crew followed us to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We had a good time but we were all pretty much worn out from Disney land. Patrick had the Camera so we have a lot of pictures of animals but none of us. Okay, he got one of me but it wasn't a good one so I opted not to post it.

I guess that is only two days of October but my munchkin has found a place on my lap and I no longer have the will to continue at this time.
