Day 124
Today was the annual clean up of the beach that is out in front of my Uncle's powerplant.
We cleaned it up
Then ate some food
I found out that we were close by where Tom's Grandma lives.
And that there is a chapel where Sprit taped their commercial. You know that one where they do the wedding. Yep.
Then walked back down the beach to the car.
Left and came home.
Then after dinner we went to downtown disney to shop and stuff.
They had a TWO STORY build-a-bear.
So I went shopping for Lomo and got him a peter pan outfit.
Then it was off to the 'world of disney' store.
That was the biggest store I have ever been in.
It was huge.
I ended up getting a cook book (the 15$ one, not the 60$ one that I wanted)
Then we came back here and slept.

Today there wasn't really a plan so we decided to go to Hollywood.
Got there and looked at some stars on the ground and the Chinese theater.
Then went to the kodak theater / mall and stayed there all day.
Saw some peoples from America's next top model.
Found out that 'How Do I look' was being taped there that day.
Yeah... that was about it.
Came home and slept.

Day Four 6-11-09
blog 122
Today was my mom's Birthday. We went to Disneyland to celebrate ^_^.
It was really fun. Teresa and I went on every ride (that was worth it) in just that one day.
Here is a copy of the list and the rides that we did and didnt ride.
It will either have an X saying that we didn't ride it or a number. The number that is first is the order of when we did it.
*Our Grand Disneyland Adventure*
Tomorrowland
X 1. Astro Orbitor. This ride was shut down for remodeling. We were going to replace it with going to the innoventions thing.. but didn't have time.
4. 2. Autopia
2. 3. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
20. 4. Disneyland Monorail
8. 5. Disneyland Railroad. This ride was on my list more than once because it has more than one stop.
24. 6. Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. This was the longest ride in the park. Long line T_T
6. 7. "Hony, I Shrunk the Audience"
5. 8. Space Mountain. Fast pass used
3. 9. Star Tours
Fantasyland
X 10. Alice in wonderland. Had too long of a line all day and was just cut for time reasons.
X 11. Casey Jr. Circus Train. I couldn't find the line for this ride so it was cut for time.
X 12. Dumbo the Flying Elephant. This was shutdown half of the day so when it reopened it had a line way too long.
19. 13. Its a small world
17. 14. King Arthur Carrousel
7. 15. Mad Tea Party
25. 16. Matterhorn Bobsleds. Mom waited for half the line while we were on Nemo.
X 17. Mr Toad's wild Ride. Long line again for a little kid ride. Not worth it.
1. 18. Peter Pan's Flight
16. 19. Pinocchio's Daring Journey
X 20. Storybok Land Canal Boats. This ride was shut down for parades and stuff. Time time time
15. 21. Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough
Frontierland
23. 22. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Fast pass used
9. 23. Rafts to Tom Sawyer Island
Adventureland
14. 24. Enchanted Tiki Room
22. 25. Indiana Jones Adventure. Fast pass used. Rode again with single rider passes.
13. 26. Jungle Cruise. Grandpa fast pass used.
New Orleans Square
11. 27. Haunted Mansion. Grandpa fast pass used.
12. 28. Pirates of the Caribbean. Grandpa fast pass used.
Critter Country
10. 29. Splash Mountain. Fast pass used.
X 30. The many Adventures of Winne the Pooh. My mom the poohnut didn't even want to ride this ride. So cut for time it was. ^_^
Mickey's Toontown
X 31. Chip 'n Dale Treehouse. This wasn't even a ride, I don't know why it was even on the list >.>
18. 32. Gadget's Go Coaster
21. 33. Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. Fast pass used.
Park hours were 9am to 9pm. Normally the park is open until midnight but this night was grandnight and so the park closed early.
So the plan was to run as the park opened and go to peter pan. This is one of the only rides that I haven't been on so I really wanted to ride it. I had rode 'the ride' but it was set up for the E.T. movie when I was 7 so I really didn't ride 'the ride'. The peter pan ride is known for its incredable long line all day. So we rode this ride and then went over to the astro blasters after getting fast passes for space mountain. Star Tours was right there and so we rode it and then we thought that it would be good to do Autopia. Mom and Jen took a smoke break which was kind of sad because to be able to ride everything we needed to keep up the 3 rides a hour minimum. That ended up being a long ride but it was ok because then we ran to space mountain. At this time we still were with My mom, my sister Valerie and my cousin Jen. After space it was the movie honey I shrunk the audience. My mom and Jen needed to Smoke and so we went and rode the Mad Tea party which didn't have that long of a ride. Then it was time to head over to the other side of the park and we took the rail road to cut time.
We sat down and had lunch and Teresa and I ran and got Splash Mountian fast passes. After a lunch mom and Jen had to smoke AGAIN so we rode the rafts to Tom Sawyer Island. We ran around it and then went back over and got in line with our fast passes for Splash Mountain. Now... this ride scares the crap out of me because of the last time that I rode it, which was when I was 7. Yeah... Ended up being great ^_^. This is when we heard that the rest of my family was in the park so we called them over to the Hunted Mansion to use Grandpa as a fast pass.
If you ever don't want to wait in line for ANYTHING in Disneyland (not California adventure) Then go to the park with some one in a wheel chair.
After that we used him again for Pirates of the caribbean. Then it was on to use him again for the Jungle Cruise. The 'skipper' that we had was really funny and great. This is when Mom and everyone else lost heart for the challenge and told Teresa and I to go off on our own. So we did.
I had crossed the Tiki room off my list at first but this ended up being the first thing that Teresa and I did together. Then we went and did the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough. Another thing that I had never done. It was great. Then Pinocchio's Daring Journey, King Arthur Carrousel, Gadget's Go Coaster. After a really small line for its a small world we walked back over to check the line for the nemo ride. Still being really long we looked over and saw that something was being set up where the Jedi Training Academy was held at. I went up to ask this Guy what was going on.
Me- "Whats going on here?"
Him (as he reaches out and grabs my Camera) - "Have you heard of Mitchel Musso?"
Me -"uh...... no?"
Him - "well he is having a concert here." (takes a picture of himself)
Me- "oh... umm... ok."
Yeah... that was really weird.
So Disneyland was starting a new summer thing the next night with new fireworks and everything. I guess that they will be having a dance party thing everything too which is where the concert was at. I was bummed because I wanted ot see the new fireworks which were the day AFTER we were there. T_T yeah.
Teresa and I rode the Disneyland Monorail marking the 20th ride that day. We took our fast passes that we had got when we went on the Go coaster and rode the Roger Rabbit Car Toon Spin. Then more fast passes that were got after the Jungle cruise to ride Indiana Jones Adventure. Even though we had fast passes there was a long line. T_T but in line we saw that people had passes that said 'single rider' on them. After asking someone they said that you could get them from the person outside. So we ended up getting some of them and rode this ride twice (even though we both REALLY had to pee). Big thunder mountain railroad with fast passes and then we headed over to the nemo ride. On the way Teresa swore that she saw Selena Gomez on top of this roof top. Yeah.. I didn't know if it was her or not.
The line was still as long as ever but we got into it. Right after I took my phone out and saw that my mom had tried to call me so I called her.
She tells me that they are getting on to the nemo ride with Grandpa. So we get out of line to try and go with them.
But then she says that they are getting on right then. So Teresa and I wait for them to get off and we ask Grandpa if he would do it again. He says no of course so Teresa and I have to get back into the huge line.
While waiting for what seemed like forever the concert started. Yeah... not all that great. FINALLY we got onto the ride and sat down. It was worth the wait but wasted so much time. I have the whole thing on video.
As we got out of the ride mom called and told us that they were in line for us at our last ride, the Matterhorn Bodsleds. That was really nice.
We rode the final ride and then went to try and get a good spot for the fire works.
On the way people started to shove us out of the way and I don't really know what all happened but then Slena walked right past us with her friend from her show. Yeah... Teresa was right. ^_^
Met up with the family and got ready for the fireworks. We find out that they would be premiering the new fireworks that night. I was so happy. I recorded the whole thing ^__^.
The park closed and the day ended. It was great but I don't think that I will try that again unless I have really commited people with me. ^_^ Bribing might be nice too. xD

Day two 6-9-09
blog 120
Today we went to Seaworld.
I have never been to seaworld before. After a hour and half long drive and some more nap time we got there.
Wasn't as big as I thought that it would be.
We met up with my cousin Merle and his new girlfriend. She was really nice ^_^.
Teresa and I left with Merle and Girlfriend and went out on our own like normal.
First off was one of three rides 'journey to Atlantis'
It was really cool, there were these dolphins before the ride. Then once we got on the ride it has a drop like splash mountain and then a really cool ride up this elevator in your car. Then after that its a roller coster ride. It ended up with another drop and the ride was done.
We then headed over to the penguins and rode another ride called wild Arctic. It was like star tours.
So by the time that we met up with everyone at 2:30 we had just about everything in the park. All we had left to do was a few shows and then the famous sky tower.
We saw the Shamu show... it was ok.
Then we saw a circus show that was really cool, I have the whole thing on video and don't know if I will upload it.... ^_^
Then we all met up for a lunch out side of the park.
After lunch Grandpa was supposed to be able to go up to the exit of the park and get his rented wheelchair back... But they said that we had to go back to the entrance and show them the receipt to get it back.
So Teresa and I left to go and ride the Skytower and left everyone else there.
Well....... I guess that my Grandpa got tired and so my mom told him to sit on his walker that has a seat and she would push him. And then there was a crack in the cement... >.>
So my Grandpa went over backwards but he is fine now.
After that we saw the Dolphin show and the sea lion show.
Both were great.
And then we got my mom to ride the Atlantis ride with Teresa and I.... And we said that 'if you ride in the back you wont get wet...' Well..... We had to ride in the front. And we got SOAKED.
So the ride home Teresa and I had our pants off.... xD
End day 2 ^_^

LA. Day one 6-8-09
blog 119
This is the day that we would leave to go down to my Uncle's house. Lots of fun.
So the night before I had a bunch of stuff to do because I hadn't really packed yet. I ended up staying up all night with Tom and got everything done and packed for the trip.
I woke my mom and sister Valerie up at 4am and we left at 5am.
Hit the road and then we were off on the 438 mile trip to my Uncle's.
Around sunrise we stopped at one of the random Vista Points along the way.
It was cool...... but then these people woke up and got out of their car and started to pee right there.... Yeah.. . >.>
Then I wasn't feeling very well and we stopped at Denny's.
Nothing much really happened most of the trip so lets just skip the rest.
We got to the house before my Grandpa and sister Teresa got there from the airport ( they got to fly down T_T )
I ended up being really tired and went to sleep until a dinner of pizza.
Then more sleep.
End of Day one!

This morning
blog 118
Yeah Yeah.... I know
I need to write my blogs EVERY DAY....
I'll get to it now that I am home and will be for the week.
I'm not going to write about the days past so deal : P
Anyways.
My summer so far has had some really boring parts.
Movie wise I have watched some of my old Favorites over and over again. Tom and I have been with each other for the past week or so. Sleep overs and events made us be able to see each other every day ^_^. He had to leave yesterday though and so now I wont see him for the rest of the week T_T. Normally I would be a lot sadder about that, but guess what?
I HAVE KITTENS!!!!
Yeah, last night I couldn't sleep all that well so I ended up passing out some time after 3 ish. My mom woke me up a few mins ago by putting all three adorable kittens on me and told me to watch them.
One of the best ways to wake up xD
They really can move now and so they were all over me looking for places to go.
It was great.
I'm going to miss them once they are gone though. Only two weeks left T_T.
Jasper has started to interact with them giving Alice a break from them here and there. Even though he was raised by us he knows what to do. I'm so proud!
I get to have the kittens to my self all this week. My sisters are still in school. And then on Sunday we are leaving for a week to go to LA for my mom's birthday. Tom gets to stay here all week. Then once we get back all the kittens will be leaving. The one that Tom is taking actually gets to go right home with him the day we get back. T_T
I finally got to go to barns and nobles and get something with the gift cards that I have. I decided that I would get the next book of the Sookie Stackhouse series (more commonly known as true blood, the books that the HBO series are based from)
I don't really own the rest of the books, but seeing as the person that I would barrow them from was my boss, I decided to get it. Yesterday with Tom gone and having nothing to do.... I Kinda read the whole book. I didn't really mean to seeing as I have this trip coming up and we only have plans for two of the days.... but you know how I get with books.
Over all the book was really short. Only 311 pages. I was expecting a book that would clear up at least some of the questions that the last book had left... but it didn't really. The ending was really open ended and there is going to be another book. When, I don't know because this one came out this May.
In this one the main is leaning towards the guy that I like the most in the books.... Well actually I like the Weretiger (yeah thats right) the most but he really wasn't a choice for her this book. The book was funny and sad and action packed all at the same time (like normal). I liked how the main actually says that its weird that everything all ways happens to her. I hate it when the charaters act like nothing will ever go wrong again after they solve a problem. YEah
I will get theh next book once it comes out.
I also watched the movie Fanboys. .
OH MAN YOU HAVE TO SEE IT.
Its about nerds.... Who want to break into SKYWALKER RANCH.
Its so nerdy and great.
WATCH IT.
also watched Mall Cop last night.
Really boring.
Not all that great...
Yeah >.>
Thats all for now.
Talk to you later.
