Summer Vacations

Alan had his 24th birthday on June 24th, yep it was his Golden Birthday, so we did what he loves best, Thrill Rides. We spent the day at Lagoon with some friends and after we went to Famous Daves BBQ, it was fantastic! This picture is of us waiting to go on Rattle Snake Rapids.
Our first big trip of the summer was to Goblin Valley. We camped one night and went hiking all the next day. It was amazing, there are 3 different valleys you can hike to, we did all 3. We played a game finding cool looking goblins and naming them. We named on Elvis because it looked like Elvis Presleys profile.
I cannot believe I hiked through all of these goblins!
Another big vacation we went on was a road trip to Las Vegas and Disneyland. We went Labor Day Week and wow was that a great time to go, neither places were very busy. In Vegas we went to the M&M factory and Coke factory.

We walked through Ceaser's Palace, Belagio, Venetian, MGM Grand, and the Stratosphere.
Obviously Alan was taking this picture
Hooray for Disneyland! We did 3 days in Disneyland. The first day was pretty much the perfect Disneyland experience (except for the Pirate's Premiers). The weather was perfect it was not crowded at all and we walked on to every ride.
Tigger is my FAVORITE
I love this picture, it is like a classic Disney moment
The Haunted House was closed because they were getting it all dressed up for the Holiday season but it looked super sweet with all the decorations on the outside.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was one of the many rides we went on. Splash Mountain 6 times, Tower of Terror 6 times, Buzz Lightyear 5 times, Screamin 5 times, and the list goes on and on.
At night it was even more magical. I love the way Sleeping Beauty Castle looks at night. We also shopped in Downtown Disney and got some stuff for my new car, oh yeah I got a new car a 2008 Chevy Cobalt, I named her Daisy.
