My DL TP-12/26-12/27/08

Ok I finally figured this out again to post my tiny vacation.

Day one the 26 of December of 08' Train to California Adventure in cold southern CA.

I got up a 5:30 to get ready to head to my parents house. Lift about 7:20am. Pick up my Mother so she could drive the van back to their house. I got on the train about 8:10AM. I didn't get to Anaheim until close to 10:08am. I called the Taxi like two min out from the station so I could get right to the hotel and they were there. I got to the hotel about 10:20am Got my key at check in and drop of my back and took out my Disney stuff like the Mickey's Santa Hat, my Passporter Holder pouch and my pin necklace. Then Zoom off to meet up with my cousin at Ariel Grotto. This was at 10:30 when we all meet up. My cousin introduce to her two daughter Katarina and Mariska, she had her Sister with her too Annie. While we check in and waited Katarina Came right up to me and gave my a hugg and a kiss then when over to her mom and my other where we were waiting for our turn. I ask Katarina if she like to sit on my lap and she did and her mother help her on and that was her ride for most of the time I was with them. Any ways We were called to our table but the girls had to get a picture with Ariel then we to our table. Katarina sat by me and we talked up a storm with the princess in between. After we ate and used the restroom we head out with one kid in a stroller Mariska and one kid on my lap Katarina. We all headed to bug land the guys took the kids on that caterpillar ride while I took pictures and use the restroom, then head towards the bumper cars, be fore Katarina left my lap to get on these rides she keep asking how come you can't ride these in her soft little voice and I explained why even though she won't understand yet. Any way after the bumper cars we headed to the movie again with her on my lap and she stayed there the hole time. We got to Hollywood back lot and tried to see turtle talk just us together but I thought she said she had to go potty so we head out and look for her mom. But when I found her mom she said she didn't I think she kinda got up set and went in to her stroller and I tried to say sorry to her. But she fell asleep in the stroller. After that we head towards Soarin Over CA, since the two kids had fell asleep. So my cousin Annie and I went on it while my cousin Christina stayed back with her girls. We had a great time even though it was tough getting back into my chair. After that both cousin wanted to ride Tower of Terror so I volunteer to stayed with the girl while the they were asleep. We took them to the animated building again so if one woke up they could just watch the screens But When Mariska woke up she started to cry, because she does like a lot of people around when she wakes up so I had to call her mom and it happened my two cousin were stuck on the ride, I'm like oh boy, then Katarina woke she a bit like Mariska but not much after she know it was just me, So when her mom came Katarina jump on my lap again and off to Monster INC. At this ride Katarina couldn't stay on my lap since in close down almost to your belly, so once we got to the car she had to get off and sit with her mom (I don't think she liked that very much) any ways we rode it twice then we got off. After that she jump up on my lap and off we went. After getting the strollers. We all head over to Toy story but after a few minutes in line the ride broke down and at this time Katarina wanted to learn how to drive my chair. I kept telling her it too crowed for that and I'll teach her another time when there is no crowed. This is when I found out she was stubborn like me and love able like me. So we left the line got in line for the merry-go-round. Katarina wanted to ride the fish and ask me if I would go on it I said I don't normally go on these but I ask the CM and they said a wheelchair can have a spot, so I did (I did for Katarina to give it a try I really don't like going around and around if I'm not in control), I rode it once and that was it for me so I waited out side to give them a chance to go again. I took pictures of them waiting for the thing to start but to much lighting . Any ways after I change my batteries in my camera they all came out and Katarina jump aboard. Then headed to the winery restaurant to eat dinner. But we had time lift before dinner and visit the place where they were showing CA A new models and stuff. Then we we to get our table and eat by the wall so we could see the parade. After that we decided to call it for the day. My cousin Christina and Annie had to take the stroller back I told them if they don't mind I'll take Katarina with me and meet me at the Grand Ca fire place. So we speed off pass everything and got on the runway to take off. I went really fast on the runway by Soarin. And Katarina laugh out load going "WOW you going really fast!!!" Then I had to slow down telling oh well no wing but when I saw that plane on the other end I said I think we better get of the runway that plane may want to use it. So we turn toward the Grand and went by the fire place. While we both were there Katarina go off and sat in a little rocking chair and we sat next to each other, we told each other storyies and talk to other people. This is another I found out about Katarina she love people like I do not shy at all. As we did this I started to notice that my cousin were taking a long time so I called on my cell to her. They missed understood me they thought at our hotel lobby fire place. So I gather Katarina on my lap and headed out in the cold down towards Ketalla Ave. We had a good time speeding down the walk way. Then Got to her hotel room with the guys watch and kicking back. Then visit for a while then said good night and headed toward my room.

By the way Mariska is 4 so she not as poeple going as Katarina and she need more than two days to warm up to me, but she started to some on the second day and really started to just before I left the next day. To those who wonder why I haven't mention Mariska since the beginning if my TR. Oh can someone help me get pictures on this part of the post.
Next: Part two Disneyland the 27.
