Pumpkins and Parades

We chose to go to Disneyland in September for two reasons, because supposedly the crowds are smaller (not sure I agree with that and I would hate to see Disneyland at full capacity) and because it would be decorated for Halloween! (Also for "cooler" weather...but California was HOT this year in September. We got 90 degree weather but the week before it was in the 100's.








Characters in costume!







Disney Parade. We arrived right at parade time. We saw Elsa and Anna roll through (the only time we saw them...waiting in line after line to actually meet them was not a high priority for this family.) We stayed for the parade and it was so fun watching Lydia dance and jump up and down as each different set of characters went by! Loved it!





Our first batch of gourmet popcorn...Ben is not a fan of spending money on things, but give him a good batch of popcorn and he will spend the big bucks!
