sad, so sad. Although I really shouldn't complain because I had a three day weekend. Even though I was sick for all of it, and still am. There I go...complaining again. Oh well.
My weekend started out on Thursday evening with a trip to Dave and Busters with the Krouse Family, Mary, Kai and myself. The kids played while Jana and I talked. The kids had fun. We were waiting for it to be close to midnight so that we can go to the theater to watch Remember Me. There was no madness like the evening that New Moon premiered, it wasn't even playing at the Cine Capri.
I had purposely not read any reviews on the movie prior to going. I hate to know to much about a movie before I go. Sometimes I feel let down if I already know what is going to happen. I honestly didn't even know that it had anything to do with September 11th. I personally really liked the movie. I thought Robert Pattinson did a good job in it. It was a very sad movie, and I did not see the end of the movie coming at all. It was not predictable in my opinion. Do I think it was an Oscar worthy movie? No, but it was good. I would go see it again, not 20 times, but maybe once more.
After we got home from the movie, we needed to pack our stuff to catch our flight to CA in eight hours. Mary and Kai slept while I packed and then we were off.
The flight was short, but I was miserable. I had fluid in my ears, and with the altitude changes, my ears felt like they were going to explode. It was painful. When we landed I had almost no hearing left. Holly was practically screaming in my ears so that I could hear. We took a shuttle to our hotel and then got ready to head to Disneyland. We stopped at Downtown Disney for lunch at Naples and then went into the park. As sick as I was, I did not let it stop us. We rode on as many rides as we could. Then we headed over to California Adventure so that Mary and Kai could ride Screamin while Holly, Maya and I waited for an hour for Toy Story. We were so tired that we watched the fireworks and headed back to our hotel, and dinner was served bedside. Yep, we ordered room service, we were exhausted and I could barely move. My cold was just getting worse, and by then, I had lost my voice to.
Saturday morning we had reservations for the character breakfast in Disneyland. We had a great time. The girls enjoyed taking pictures with all of them. Then if was off to another day of Disney. Maya had to perform at 12:30, but she had to be ready at 11:00. We dropped her off, and Holly and I headed to Space Mountain. Kai and Mary left with the Ares family to Indiana Jones.
We then went back to watch the show. It was adorable. The kids did amazing. We sat there for a while afterward and waited for the next show. It was Tucson Dance Academy's show. Wanda's oldest daughters studio. Maya also danced in that show. After that, more fun.
This morning, we had breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel. Then we went back to the park. We left the park at 4:45 and waited for our taxi back to the airport. When we got there, Holly realized that her wallet was missing. It was panic mode. We called the hotel and someone had turned her wallet in. She had to take a cab back to hotel while I got us all checked in. Wanda, Wendy and Bethany were on our same flight. Holly barely made it back in time for the flight.
Thankfully we all made it back home safe and sound. Here are some pictures from the weekend.
