An Astro-Blaster Time!!

Wednesday morning we got up and had breakfast and went into the park. What a beautiful day! It was not hot and it was not cold, it was just right. Disneyland didn't open until 9 am so we were able to get up and take our time getting there. And it was awesome. There were hardly any lines. The first ride we went on was the Astro Orbitor which is like the Dumbo ride only rocket ships. It moves a little faster and you feel like you are going to tip out when you go up and down. It is fun.

The longest ride we waited for was Splash Mountain for 45 minutes. Austin had a little bit of a hard time waiting but it went fast. We talked with the people in line who were from Australia. They had decided they needed to come to America to help stimulate the economy. I thanked them! Then they told us about their plans for their trip. It sounded like a trip I would like to take sometime! Once we got on the ride, I tried to explain to Austin that he was going to get wet. He didn't believe me. Sure enough, he got DRENCHED!! A huge wave came rolling in the side he was on and he was wet. For the next hour I had to listen to him get mad at me because he got soaked and I only got sprinkles. I thought it was funny! That was the only ride we had to wait in line for. Everything else we pretty much walked right on. It was a great day to be there!!

We made sure to ride Astro Blasters and then we emailed the picture to The Dad. At one point the ride stopped so we were able to get really good scores. That was fun!

It closed at 8 pm but about 5:30 pm Austin was done. He had ridden everything he wanted and wanted to go back to the hotel an go swimming. So we did. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped and got a Subway sandwich for dinner and then went swimming. Then our friend Larry called and asked if we wanted to go see Iron Man. I thought for sure Austin would fall asleep and didn't really want to buy him a ticket, but Austin reminded me that it was his birthday and that is what he wanted to do, go see Iron Man. It was a pretty good movie - I enjoyed it. Austin was asleep before the previews were over. He woke up just in time for the big fight scene so he feels like he saw the movie. Silly boy!

We contemplated staying up to see Indiana Jones at 12:01 am but he was still really tired. So we went back to the room and went to sleep.
