Fun in the sun .....day 3


Day 3 brought to you by the flowers of Disneyland. When we started out Saturday morning I told Deanna our photo theme for the day was the flowers of Disneyland. It is fun to have a theme, it makes you notice things in a different way. Here are some of the pictures Deanna took. She did a awesome job.















She is getting the hang of her new camera.....


These were the flowers in Fantasy Land.


















What a life for a sparrow living at Disneyland. Never a shortage of people to feed you.


The rest of the family gave up on Disneyland at about 1:30 we went back to the hotel. I think the pool had more of a draw then the lines at the park. After lunch Deanna and I went back and continued our photo search. The next picture shows the crowd. You can see why they were happier to stay and relax by the pool. But we had a good time in spite of all the people.




The next few pictures are my interpetation of the flowers at Disneyland.















It was so nice to see flowers....
instead of dead brown frozen
flowers, like we have at home.



We found a Mexican Restaurant and had dinner there. And yes, you can find places that aren't crowed, we enjoyed a great meal in a beautiful spot.


This was the view
we had from the
restaurant.





After dinner, we rode Splash Mountain again, only this time we put on our rain gear so we would be splash proof.. It worked pretty well....the first ride went well, so we decided to go again. The second time was going great, we splashed down the big drop then our log stopped...we waited and waited then a voice came over the load speaker and said"keep your arms and feet in the log at all times...a cast member will be with you shortly" We heard this repeated about 20 times...30 minutes later a cast member came and helped us get out of our log, which was very tricky as we had about 2 foot jump from a tipsy log over the water. We had to wait there, in the ride, while they evacuated the other logs for another 30 minutes. Then we walked through the rest of the ride . It was really weird being "in" the ride, walking next to the animated animals. Deanna thinks they are really creepy when you are in the log so found it very disturbing walking next to them. We asked why the ride stopped and had to evacuated and all he would say was "Oh, did you get wet on the ride." We still don't know what happened.
But it was a experience. Not sure bad or good..well interesting.

That's all she wrote..
