The Tortoise and the Hare

On your mark...




Get set...


Go!


They are off and running!


The Hare quickly outpaced the tortoise.


But he was undaunted and kept running.


The Hare thought she would take a rest, she was ahead after all.


She hadn't intended on falling asleep.  She knew she would have to quickly jump back in the race.


It was soon obvious that she would not be able to catch up.


They both sprinted toward the finish line.


The Tortoise jumped for joy.  He couldn't believe his good fortune.


The Tortoise is the winner!  What an upset for the Hare.

Rachel and I stopped to watch the parade.

Disneyland August 2011 - Day 5 (Post 6 of 7)

Rachel - Almost 2.5 years old.  Joey - 5 months old.
Friday, August 5th, 2011.

Breakfast with little birds, like a Disney princess.


We saw a stage production based on the toddler TV shows: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Little Einsteins.  It was highly interactive and fun.  Streamers at the end.  What isn't to love?


Dumbo again.




Doug even took Joey this time.  He looks unimpressed.




Rachel loved it.  Come on...  Rachel was already in love with the movie.




The giant ferris wheel in California Adventure.




When you get bored going round and round you can always play with your baby brother's binky.


This was the day that Rachel got her stuffed Dumbo.


Though he has since lost his magic feather he flies as high as ever.


My friend, Shannon, was on this roof calling the big fireworks show.


If you look closely you can see some of her crew.



Now on to Fantasmic.  We have saved seats right in front, roped off with stanchions.  Someone passing by said, "I wonder what you have to do to get one of those seats."  We were walking behind them so I piped up, "You have to know the stage manager."  He tried to offer us $10.  Nice try.


Just a picture to show our unobstructed view.  Thanks Shannon!
