The first thing we did was walk into a show and we saw " Honey I Shrunk the Audience". You get these 3D glasses to wear while watching the movie and there are a bunch of special effects you can feel throughout the movie. Make sure and see it if you ever go! I had seen it before at Disneyworld in Florida. After the show we saw this big ball and its turning with water running over it. Of course, Larry had to go get in on the action with the kids. I see Rebekah holding Damien standing beside him.
While we were waiting in line to ride the Nemo submarine, Rebekah was holding Damien on her shoulders and he fell asleep on her head. Cute!
We were completely submerged under water inside the submarine and we all had our own port holes to look out into the water with. I saw Nemo and other characters trying to find Nemo but they were moving so much and so fast I couldn't get there picture. Here are a couple of underwater scenes. It was kind of a cool ride. If you don't like enclosed small spaces this isn't the ride for you though!
We went to Mickey's ToonTown next and walked around and played.
Larry saw this car and Larry said "come on lets get in it and have Rebekah take our picture."! Yeah right, easier said then done! We managed.
They had this jail house with flexible bars and Rebekah got inside with Damien.
Next we found Mickey's house and walked through it and at the end there was Mickey Mouse and I took several pictures. This was one of the better ones.
We had a great day at Disneyland! We ended the day by watching the parade go down Main Street and after that we parted our ways. Larry and I walked back to our motel and Becky went home. We decided to stay a second night in the motel because we knew we would be really tired after the two full days. Rebekah lives about two hours away from Disneyland also and we didn't want to drive that also after the full days. The park closed at 8pm also because we went off season and during the week.
On Friday we went to their house and Rebekah and Damien were there, but Amir was working. So we just visited.
On Saturday Amir had his two brothers over and their Girlfriends and his mother. He cooked wonderful steaks on the grill and chicken. We had a huge feast this day! There were other things brought in also. It was good to finally meet his family. We really had a good time visiting until late evening.
One thing about this trip, was Larry had a hard time adjusting to their time zone. When it was six o'clock pm he would remind himself it was nine o'clock pm and start yawning and getting really tired. He really had a hard time with it.
Aren't they cute!
Damien is the happiest baby. He just giggles when Rebekah plays with him!
Amir's dad took us all out to dinner on Sunday. We visited most of this day also.
The sun was bright and Damien is squinting his eyes.
We arrived at Laguna Beach late morning and walked barefooted in the sand and let the waves hit our feet. The water was cold! Too cold for Damien because he cried when Rebekah let his feet touch the water. I don't think he liked the sand either.
This is one of my favorites of the two of them!We got back in the care to find something to eat and we found a ferry that took us and the car over to the peninsula. We found the original Ruby's Diner at the end of a pier and we had dinner and watched the sunset of the Pacific Ocean. It was beautiful!
We left on Tuesday to go to a motel by the airport. We drove around and through the mountains to get in some more sight seeing.
I saw this lizard on a rock and snapped his picture real quick before he scooted off!
We had a really good visit and Rebekah and Amir are great hosts. If you ever get a chance to go see them you should.
When we got home on Thursday around 12:30am ugh! we had two happy dogs! Jacen watched them for us and he took good care of them. One of the things I enjoyed the most was I read two books by Beverly Lewis. I don't think I have ever read two books in my life in a two week stretch. They were good reading!
Well I hope you all enjoyed the pictures! I gotta go because it really is 9:30pm and not 6:30pm like it is in California!
P.S. As a Christmas hint you can get me the cook book by Beverly Lewis! Ha!
Love you all! Lori
