disneyland! 2 of 3!

day two didn't start as early as we had planned...we all slept pretty well the night before and didn't get to the park until around 10:30 am. that was okay though because we had alllll day!

Jon jumped in this picture of mike and kim. he wasn't invited, but it actually turned out really cute!

splash mountain was a success every single time. see what i mean about trying to out-funny each other? how funny is that hooded figure resting her chin on her hand? but mike surprised us all by taking off his shirt and whipping it around his head! he whipped kim in the eye with it! and jon had so much fun on the way up the hill that he passed out on the way down.

my man has been going to disneyland since he was little and it's always been a tradition to get clam chowder in a bread bowl from  Royal Street Veranda.  

it was so funny to have jon and mike ride the rides together. kim said "you and i look like friends when we ride together, but they look gay."

for a shorter wait time, we went on the cars ride in the 'single rider' line. this time jon and i happened to be in the same car and mike and kim were in the same car, and we raced them! AND jon and i won! haha, lots of coincidences. the man trying and failing to get out of our picture in the backseat was wearing a USA track and field backpack. mike asked him about it and he told us that his wife (in the front seat) runs on the USA track team. she does the 100k and is 5th in the world. so awesome!

we didn't know what mike and kim did in this picture, but as soon as we got off the ride kim said, with a straight face, "Mike ruined that ride for me."

we thought this was the center of disneyland...sad!

i love this picture. kim had never tried to get the sword out before and she's really trying!

we ate at flo's v8 cafe, it was okay. the ambiance was ideal though, cars land is so dreamy.

on saturday night we watched the fireworks in disneyland, it was really nice. the park usually clears out after the fireworks, and that's the best time to ride all the big rides. we rode splash mountain again and walked right onto the ride! we rode it once and when we got to the end, the people asked us if we wanted to ride it again! we didn't even have to get off. mike and jon had planned to take their shirts off for the picture again. mike took his off on the way up the hill right before the big drop. out of nowhere a worker popped out of a curtain with a flashlight, shined it on mike and yelled "hey! put your shirt on!" mike looked like a deer in headlights and immediately put it on. this is the picture that resulted:

it was so funny. we ended the night with space mountain and immediately passed out in our hotel room!
