Speaking of Candy Corn...

Today we saw tons of play candy corn at Disneyland & California Adventure. For my birthday, I went with my little sis and k. We left n with my dad. Since I had my 3 day pass, I got to go on a $72 spending spree. One thing that I wasn't aware of is that they quiz you as to the other dates that you used your pass so they know it is yours. (Or maybe that was just because I didn't write my name on the back). I knew we went on D's birthday, but couldn't remember the other day. I was one day off on my guess, so she let me go.


Get it? Candy "corn"?


Golden Gate Bridge got gussied up.


World's Largest Candy Corn


k's favorite ride in Bug's Land. She was really scared of the ladybug ride, for some reason. Too jerky, I guess. Looking forward when she'll have fun on the faster rides!


We all shared a Chinese chicken salad bread bowl from Pacific Wharf. Love that Boudin sourdough! Tried to get ice cream from Catch-A-Flave, but it didn't open until 2 p.m., boo.


Disneyland decorated too. Still have to go during Christmas time to see the decorations, though.


A Mickey jack-o-lantern.

So, here's what I bought with my birthday fun card: Mickey ice cube tray, cookie cutter (for me); Mickey tall, skinny mug (for D); 50th Anniversary CD (for all of us, but mostly k); and an It's a Small World boat with removable people, It's a Small World keychain and It's a Small World magnet (for k). I gave k the boat already, but I think I'll save the keychain and magnet for Christmas.

My sister and I used the rider switch pass to go on Space Mountain. They changed it for Halloween, adding different music, along with projections of various scary images during the ride. I was definitely more scared than usual, maybe because I was sitting in the front, and by myself. It's much more fun going with someone else!

After all of that, I had to take n to a doctor's appointment with his new doctor. Then my parents brought home some Chinese food and we had dinner at their place. (D is still at work because he has to stay late on the last day of the month. He didn't wish me a happy birthday until 11:30 a.m. today! Don't worry, I already made him feel bad about it.) Time to sleep!
