Disney's Diamond Celebration 60 years

Fred and I joined Corinne's family on their big trip to Disneyland for 5 days!

Each morning she dressed the boys in matching shirts (at least color).

The resort had a shuttle that ran every 20 minutes to Disneyland.

It was our mode of transportation and worked out really slick.

Richard and Henry on the Carousel.

Spencer and Garrett.

First afternoon was the parade. It felt good to sit down even though for this grandma it wasn't very comfortable. Hot too!

These pictures are not necessarily in date order. I at least grouped them so the boys had on the same color shirt. Hopefully it was at least the same day. This is the Grizzly Run in California Adventure. When Fred and I went on it Wednesday morning and I got soaked. My jean capris were wet until late afternoon. Damp pants were kind of miserable.

This is another day on the carousel. Henry, Spencer & Richard.

Spencer on the Radiator Springs Racers.

Spencer again!

Love this photo of Corinne. She loved it. The boys not so much at this moment, but they did go on Splash Mountain more than once.

California Adventure ~ Cars land

Here's another morning of bright colors and sad baby.

Spencer and Henry once again on the carousel. 

This was the afternoon parade in California Adventure. The bench was GREAT!

Back to Disneyland - ToonTown.

Pretty cute!

Looks like more toontown???

Another super picture of Corinne's family.

Handsome boys!

 I took this picture of Corinne. I think she is beautiful and keeps a peaceful look about her, even amid life's challenges.

Eeyore and family.

Pooh Bear & Family.

In California Adventure, Fred and I went to see Disney's Alladin - Musical Spectacular twice!

It fantastic ~

Tower of Terror which Fred and I didn't go on. No thank you.

This was the first morning again out of order. I have blended picture from all three cameras here.

This is our bus stop. 

Oh yeah - pictures totally out of order. 

This was waiting for Paint the Night Parade.

I have never been on the Mark Twain Riverboat so we went on it. Nothing exciting. 

Been there Done That.

This was fun.

Ghirardelli Chrissy - Oh My it was HEAVENLY!

Had to get a snapshot of Fred by this old Rambler. 

His Grandpa Howes bought a brand new 1964 Rambler so Fred has a soft spot for Ramblers.

Fred's folks gave us his Grandpa's Rambler when we got married. 

Selfie. We didn't get many pictures of us and none of us with Corinne' family. 

Picture taking is a lot of work. I didn't include any of the great pictures of the parades, but this is more a post about our family time. 

Picture of the picture. Radiator Spring Racers. It was fun!

Splash Mountain - Ditto.

Little bit of swimming at the pool the last morning with Grandpa.

Lunch at Arbys before heading home. Henry was totally out of it. Poor Baby.

Meal Time.

This was a really enjoyable and good trip. Only three negatives:

1. The air conditioning on Corinne's van went out on the way to Disneyland in Las Vegas. 

They did finally get it fixed after two trips to the fix it shop. We'll leave it at that.

2. It was hot and humid. It was hot. It was hot.

3. My feet were killing me. I mean sometimes I felt like I was going to die. Too much standing in line to wait for rides and for parades. Next trip we won't go from morning until night. 

We are too old for this anymore. 

The positives:

1.  It was really really fun and great to not be at work. 

2. I didn't have to cook all week. 

3. I think we did all the rides and entertainment we had planned on.

Favorite Rides:

1. Star Tours - went on that three times.

2. California Soarin - went on that two times.

Next California trip we want to go to Universal Studios and Knots Berry Farm.

Thank you Corinne for inviting us to come along.

Wonderful memories to be had from our California Adventure!
