Disneyland V:4

We were underwater of Finding Nemo. It was fun. We ate at Hungry Bear restaurant in DisneyPark. Splash Mountain. Derek should switch the seat because we can't see Wyatt's expression face. A photo of us together.

Welcome to Cars Land. Mater is real truck. Even, we couldn't see the driver inside. It was so cool! We really like the new ride: Cars. Hi Mickey Mouse.

I don't recall that I rode the Little Mermaid but I went anyway. It was 5 minutes wait in stand by. It was fun. We saw Pluto the dog and stop and said hi. We ate the free cupcake for birthday of Disneyland the 60th. I love the square candy ones. Wyatt loves the Tower Terror. You can see that he is really enjoying the ride. Emma doesn't. I had to held my stupid boobs when it drops down.

I love that Derek has been doing with Emma's hat. Ha ha. Emma was shy to smile by Minnie Mouse at the Goofy's kitchen. She said that she is little scared because it's big than small from the TV.
Oh look! It's green soldiers toy thingy. I can't image that they have to wear that thing and green paint face in the hot sun. Even coats. Anyway, the cupcake is huge. The inside was orange with chocolate chip. It was okay.

We rode in the Monster Inc rides. The kids love being in the small car in the Disneyland hotel. Oh look, how it has been changed since 1955 to present. It used to parking lot front of Disneyland park that once is now California Adventure. It was our first time being outside to our flight from our gate. I did breathe the SF air!

There you go.

Disneyland V:3

Here the pictures! Enjoy them.

 
We woke up really early on Wednesday morning. 4AM. My dad dropped us off at the SLC airport. So we don't have to pay our van for parking lot. It is their first time being in a plane. Our flight is Alaska. The little planes are in SFO airport.

 

Once we arrived to SFO. It has playaround.
The plane is our flight. United.
You can see the Golden Bridge under the cloud. Yes, I know it little bit hard to see but it's there.








































Once we arrived to Orange County John Wayne airport. We went to our hotel: Quality Inn.
We are so happy to be at Disneyland for their celebrating of 60th birthday. 1955-2015.

Once we entered into Disneyland park. Our very first ride is Tea Cup of Madder Hat.
The kids are excited to have the hats.
Emma loves the castle.

The next rides are: Finding Nemo, Boat Story; there are frozen castle!; and walk around to see the Tinker Bell, my favorite fairy.

PS, I will load more of the pictures tomorrow.

PPS, I am using PicCollage app. There are hundred of photos. PicCollage save my time.

Disneyland V:2

Oy! We landed in Salt Lake City airport in really late night on Saturday. Almost to midnight due to delayed from San Francisco airport. Delayed: really late inbound crew. I really love the plane most of time of our vacation.

We arrived in our hotel: Quality Inn on Wednesday, 7.15.15. We had layovers two flights. I absolutely loved it! I don't really like nonstop flight. I loved the feeling of takeoff and landing. During in the plane, we love to watch the tiny cities below. We did part of touch in SF, CA. So I don't have to visit it. I saw a city of SF and Golden Bridge on my flight. That's good enough for me. That's means SF is do exist from the movies.

I thought it will be awful of layover in SFO. Really, it isn't. I was surprised. It has playground for the kids, which it is so neat! We ate Chinese food in SFO. The kids ate pizza. We walked around in departure level. I love to see the planes takeoffs and landings. We did breathe the air outside of SFO to count of my visit to SF for a few minutes. TSA gave the kids the colors book to keep them busy. I was like thank god for that!

Once we arrived in Anaheim, we went to Downtown Disney to ate the restaurant at Rain forest Cafe. It was an hour and a half waiting in the line but we decided to claimed the bar instead of waiting. It was empty of 4 seats and we are lucky to got the seats. Oy, it was so expensive prices! But, of course, it's California. It's their price equal to their paycheck wage and it was different than Utah prices.

Next day, we went to Disneyland park. It surely was longest day ever! The waiting line stand-by was so long. We left our hotel to ART bus to Disneyland at around 8:30pm, actually, we didn't pay attention the time. We didn't get to our hotel until 11PM. We went to almost all of the rides. I finally rode the Monorail! Because I remembered that when I first time saw it, I begged my dad to ride it and my dad said no because it related to Disneyland hotel. I knew it that he is wrong. Our last ride was Splash Mountain. It was an hour and a half wait in the line due to the maintain problems. The ride was jammed. Most of the FastPass give up and left before 15 minutes when it's resumed. We didn't give up. My feet were killing me! So we decided to leave to go back to the hotel due to our bodies aches. Yes, the kids threw the tantrums by wanted to see the neon parades and firework. By the bus, we saw some of fireworks. I really much needed to get my feet off the floor. When I was woke up in the next morning, it was little better but still sore.

Next day, we went to California Adventure. I decided for all of us that we can only ride 5 rides due to my feet. So we went to Cars, The Little Mermaid, The Monster Inc., Terror Tower, and Cars tractors. We did planned on going to Grizzly bear ride but it was 55 minutes wait in stand-by. I said no. We went to the cafe and Starbucks. It was pretty short activities in California Adventure. We tried to find the time to swimming the hotel pool but couldn't. Once we returned to our hotel, we rested pretty much. We did planned on going to House of Blue restaurant but we are too exhausted from Disneyland park. So we ordered the Chinese take out. We went to the Walmart neighborhood store. I was jealous because it has alcohol aisle. Utah don't have it. Of course, we bought the Smirnoff and wines.

Of course, we met many of Disney princess, princes, mickey mouse and Minnie. Even green toy army.

We used Super Shuttle to drop/pick from the airport to hotel and from hotel to the airport. We used ART: Anaheim Resort Transportation bus to Disneyland from hotel. It was one mile between.

We had a breakfast with Goofy in Goofy's kitchen in Disneyland hotel.

I asked the kids what are their favorite ride: Wyatt loves Terror Tower Hotel. Emma loves Splash Mountain. Me, of course the plane from airport. I do love them all the rides. But flight is my favorite part of the vacation.

I didn't ask Derek what is his favorite, I am sure he loves them all like I do.

I did wanted to go to the beach but my feet can't take any longer as it can go. So do the Yarn store but can't. Cursed you, feet!

I will post the pictures soon.

Happy day!

It'll be probably Derek third time since he touched it when he was just a little boy. The kids will be their first time. It's actually my turn to fly a plane since I noticed a few people I know that are already rode the planes. The plane is calling to me. So do Disneyland. It'll be super fun vacation family time. I'll post the pictures. Plus, we will have a breakfast with Goofy in Goofy's Kitchen in Disneyland hotel.

Randomly on a Tuesday

1. It's our 9th wedding anniversary today. Unfortunately, Derek has to work a double shifts today. So we went to donut shop to eat the donuts. I had mocha coffee donut and Sally's iced coffee. Derek had regular donuts and the kids had maple and chocolate with sprinkles.

2. Today is hot day. I was thinking about to spinning for summer.

3. I simply cannot wait for June 17th to come.

4. My guinea pig, Reeses approves the Pride necklace that Derek and I went to Pride parade and festival last Sunday with our friends: Michael, Danielle, Alissa, their baby, & Tyler. It was interested experience for us. It was fun and weird. But we had blast time together. Danielle told me that it was bigger than before. It's good news because Utah is really much needed opened-mind!

 

5. A few days ago when we finally have sunshine from too much of wettest weather. The kids were playing in the swimming pool and I was sitting on our brand new deck patio desk outside backyard and knitting. I couldn't resist it because they are darn cute.

 

6. I ordered some of Haribo candies from Amazon. This ones is interesting. Well, it's not tasting like an egg but the yolk is sweeter than the white. 

7. I am still knitting Keisha's baby blanket. 4th and final of edge work then done. Of course, I'll block it.

8. I am almost up to a halfway of triangle then I will start decrease the blanket. I started with the one stitch of cast on then increase up to 144 sts then I will start work on decrease then later on, I'll pick up the entire of square. It's hap shawl by Gudrun as I mentioned earlier. 

9. My yarn is on the way to my house. I am so exciting to knitting this shawl. It's absolutely beautiful. 

10. Ok knitter is out. I need to waste my days until June 17 comes. Only 8 more days to go. eghu!! Come on, June....

I Know, I Know......

I know that I am behind on my blog. It has been crazy weeks for us. Crazy? Well, I mean that we have been busy lately. Wyatt had a lot of field trips from his school. Today is last day of school. Oh boy, I will have 3 months of chaos. I was trying to keep my head above the water level. Derek has been trying to keep up our income to pay the bills. But right now, we are ok. I have been shifting my emotional due to the weather storm. Sometimes it tired me. Sometimes it anxious me. We have a lot of raining storm for almost of whole of May month. It was like total of 6 months of raining in ONE month. I have been watching the storm related movies. By the way, today's weather is partly cloud with little of sunshine. Oh and we have pretty a lot of funnel clouds here in Utah. I was shocked about it. But the canyons are all greeny due to overflow rain! It was so beautiful. We are still using our fireplace. It's little bit of chilly.

I am almost done knitting Keisha baby blanket. I am happy about it because I can move on to a new project of knitting. I have been obsessed about hap Shetland blanket by Gudrun Johnston. This ones is mine. 

Knitting keeps me to stay sane of life. Enjoying the rain, I am, but sometimes sunshine will be nice.

Breathtaking!!

Oh my! Look at them! It's surely taking my breath away! It's at second dam in Logan canyon. 

Easter Time Together

How's your Easter Day? Our was, eh, okay. The kids had the meltdown in a half of day. When the evening was came, it was good. We went to Golden Corral for our Easter breakfast. We had not gone to there for 6 years and I had forgotten how it looks like. Now, it was ok. I like village inn restaurant better. My opinion. Derek likes the buffet to get as much as you can. 

Derek was stubborn to buy the Easter baskets for the kids. I think it was totally waste due to the kids break them. We couldn't go to the family for Easter due to Emma has a pink eye. I don't even know how did she got it from. Last week, we are pretty much staying home all week. Derek recently mowed the lawn so we couldn't hide the eggs and I don't want them to eat too much of candies. Plus waste of money too. So we did do dyed the eggs instead. I think dyed the eggs are fun. The kids love it. Sometimes it stresses me due to the dyed messy. After we dyed, I made the devil eggs with avocado instead the mayo and more healthier. I used the organic foods. I like the taste of it. Yes, I wore the Christmas apron. Lucky, the blue ones was splash on over me. Yay apron. 

I'm knitting a brioche cowl. I started it last night. Because I only have one project: baby blanket with over 400 stitches. It'll be up to 816 stitches. I knit two rounds a day due to about 2 hours total of two rounds worth of knit. So I want to start a small project. I love knitting so much. I couldn't live without it. So I used in two colors. Purple/grey with minty. The yarns: Lorna's Laces Honor. 70% baby alpaca 30% silk. It's little light than called for. I wanted to use up my yarn stashes. I got this yarns by mistake. I ordered for Lorna's Lace Sportmate but they sent me the wrong ones but I don't bother to replace because hey, it's alpaca!  So soft! I am using Clover Bamboo circular needle due to my loose gauge. Metal is not ideal for my gauge with this project. Too slippery and very loosely stitches. Bamboo wood is better and more sturdy for my project. I'm using 2.75mm with 16 inches circular. 

A Moment

A moment of animal day at American West Heritage Center. I want to pause and savor the memories in this time.
