It's play time!

Wow, this last weekend was too much freakin' fun!

First we had Baby's "fake" birthday party at this awesome place called Scooter's Jungle in Santa Clarita. It's basically a giant jungle gym with a bunch of blow up slides and bouce houses and other cool stuff. We had so much freakin fun! Mandy, Jessica, and I spent most of our time sliding down the giant slide. (I will add video links to us sliding as soon as I upload them.) Mandy had so much fun on the slide that she split her shorts down the crack and had to go to Walmart and buy new ones.... LMAO!!!!! Ah man, I think we had more fun than the kids! Plus, the place is awesome because you get a hardcore workout and you don't even realize it because of all the fun you are having.

Sunday, Baby and I went to Disneyland. We got there right when it opened, and as soon as we got through the gate, we booked it to the Finding Nemo line. It had already wrapped around the Matterhorn. We were told that it was going to be a 5-hour wait. We got in line anyway and I told Baby that it was a good thing we have already been on practically all the rides at Disneyland already. After only waiting 3 hours (haha... only), we made it to the ride. I'm not going to give away any details, but it was definitely awesome. We LOVED it! If it wasn't such a long line, we would have gotten right back on and did it again. They did such an amazing job on it. The technology and special effects are really cool and the whole ride overall was awesome.

After that we hit up Star Tours, one of our favorites, and then we ate and headed over to Disney's California Adventure (DCA) to talk to Crush (the turtle from Nemo). Baby loved that and thought it was awesome. She was giggling the whole time. Then I took her over the the Grizzly Bear Run (I think that's what it's called), which is a Roaring Rapids-type ride where you get into a giant raft and go down some rapids (duh). Baby absolutely LOVED that too. She swears that it was her favorite ride. After that one, I we got on some other stuff before we went to get her face painted and then got in line for California Screamin', baby's very first upside-down ride. She did it like a champ and of course loved it. Gosh, that kid is a gansta when it comes to these rides; she's only just 7 years old!

Here is a video of baby with her face painted and doing her hilarious "evil genius laugh" that she had me rolling on the floor with the whole day.

After DCA, we headed back over to Disneyland and got on the Matterhorn... Baby loved it, of course. After all those roller coasters, she didn't want to go on any of the little rides. They were too "boring." Haha.... Like I said: Gangsta! We only ended up staying at the parks until 7PM, but we definitely got a lot in and had a great time. I can't wait until the next trip!
