Disneyland!



As the page tells you, we did Disneyland in a day. Our first time to do it in one day actually. We were worried about getting all our favorites in, but Char and kids have disability passes, so it was basically a fast pass for every ride. Thanks Johnsons! We got to meet Savannah for the first time too, oh my goodness, she is so CUTE! and a big time SMILER! (more pics of her to come)



To get the free day we volunteered at a museum called "Playland Not at the Beach." There used to be a carnival type park in San Francisco called "Playland at the beach." They closed it down in the 80's, and this man started to collect the different games etc.. from the park. Soon others heard of his collection and started donating pieces from other ocean-front carnival parks. He pays for the museum by hosting children's parties, work parties etc...and volunteers run the carnival games and hand out tickets for winning. Kids can cash their tickets in at the end for stuffed animals (also donated....eeew...) So we worked at the carnival games, and I don't even feel right about calling it service because we really had fun! They have a whole area with old pin-ball machines in it that still work! So we got to play at the carnival, and then we got a free day at Disney. Can't beat that!
