Life with Griffin

The Happiest Place in SoCal

We recently made a trip to the Disneyland!!

Thanks Gretchen, Alan, Sonia & Brett for hooking us up with the Mouse!

We all had a great time, well, except for a Nemo's Submarine ride, let me just say, Griffin won't be joining the Navy any time soon.

We also had one potential child psyche scarring that was avoided. Griffin wanted to show his buddy "Tiger" Disneyland also. Well, Tiger got more of a tour then he bargained for. He got to ride the Disneyland Railway all by himself. We accidentally left him on the train, as soon as we realized this we ran back to the original station to see if we left him there.

With perfect timing, we arrived back as the same train we rode pulled into the station. After asking the conductors if they had found a 6" tiger with no luck,the train started to steam out. Out of the corner of my eye, who did I spy sitting up all by himself in the front seat, but...Tiger! I yelled to the woman sitting next to him to toss him to me, she must of thought I was bit off my rocker. Like any great movie ending, Tiger came flying into my arms and everyone in the train station started cheering!

Favorite Moments - Meeting the cast of characters, Autotopia, Dumbo ride, Fairytale boats, the music shows and the Disneyland Parade

Reminder to parents - Skip Nemo's Submarine Ride and Rabbit Ride!

The grand entrance and first spotting the the main mouse himself.

One guess which ride was Griffin's favorite? Autopia

I think Griffin has a bit of a crush on Minnie


Mickey, well some us are happier then others to see you.

Now Pluto's a different story, Griffin didn't want to leave him!
