[dznybound]

I enjoy reading about your adventures! I am not caught up yet, but just wanted to let you know that I went to World Market today just to find Stroopwafels!! I bought a bag and am munching on them as I am reading your report. Yum!!

Great update!

Actually, chickens are not so weird.....

Dogs have Masters, Cats have Staff......chickens lay eggs.

Thanks! We didn't really think the chickens themselves were weird, but I thought it was a little bizarre to see them roaming free. Seems like they would be susceptible to predators...

MMMMMMMMMMMMM In N Out. You are making me hungry.

Sorry! I make myself hungry when I look at those pictures too!

I enjoy reading about your adventures! I am not caught up yet, but just wanted to let you know that I went to World Market today just to find Stroopwafels!! I bought a bag and am munching on them as I am reading your report. Yum!!

Chapter 106
Frumps and Snakes

Sounds like some more great times at the parks. I used to coordinate events like Cool Tech had at KBF and Splash City before I left my day job. It was kind of a fun sort of part of the job, but really a tough call to figure out "where" we should do it, as you said no one really used the slides, as a coordinator, I would have been bummed, but glad everyone like the chicken. Knott's chicken rocks!

Hey, we'll be out there Thursday. PM me if you guys come out! If not there will be other times!

 

[PrincessInOz]

YAY! You got the HM music box. It's gorgeous and I bet you're enjoying it.

Those twilight pictures and sunset shot are fantastic. And I love the look on Tracy's face with the snake. Glad she's no longer so scared of them now.

I LOVE that music box!!!!!!.....and I would have passed out with that snake around my neck

Definitely more great times! Tracy was one of the people in charge of coordinating the Soak City event, so I know she was a little bummed people didn't really take more advantage of the actual slides. They all enjoyed sitting around in the cabanas though, so to each their own I guess!

We will be at the parks tomorrow evening, after dinner, so I don't know if you'll still be there at that point. I'll send you a PM too in case you don't see this in time.

Definitely enjoy the music box, but sometimes it'll start playing the song (Grim Grinning Ghosts) on its own DAYS after we've last wound it up. When I'm home alone and that happens, it's SUPER spooky.

I was really happy with how some of those twilight pictures turned out as well. My favorite time of day! And yes, Tracy's face is hilarious with the snake

I LOVE that music box!!!!!!.....and I would have passed out with that snake around my neck

We love the music box too! And Tracy is still convinced that the snake tried to strangle her while it was around her neck...

In-Laws

[Wendys1DRLD]

In 2010 We here for the EXACT same reason ....please email us! We would love to share our adventures and maybe meet up at the park!

 

[Wendys1DRLD]

typo, sorry, meant to say moved here for Disneyland!

 

[Luisa]

I got here yesterday and just had to come on and say, you are so right about the hot link corn dog! I got in about 1pm and headed straight to DCA to get one (after a quick stop at RSR as it was only a 5min wait on single rider!) and I was not disappointed at all. I'd forgotten how big those things are though and it took some time and effort to eat - unlike the man sitting on a table near mine who I watched practically inhale his and the apple slices in under 2 minutes!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the hot link corn dog! So delicious They are definitely quite huge, though.

Hope your trip is going well so far! Tracy and I will definitely be in the parks at least one day this weekend, so say hi if you happen to see us!!

Baby, You’re a Firework

[PrincessInOz]

OMG! Smoqued is smokin'.

I hope I remember that place so that I can add it to my list of places to hit on a future trip to SoCal. WOW! Great find.


And what a great gift you got from your in-laws. Oscar is amazing.

 

[franandaj]

I remember that awful heat and humidity last July. We went to the parks several times and once I was there with friends from Atlanta. I told them how bad it was and they laughed at me!

We live pretty close to the Bluff in Long Beach, and it's just crazy on the 4th of July, and that whole weekend too. We sometimes just hide in our house and cook food on the grill because there are so many crazy people out at that time!

That was sweet of Tracy's parents to buy you the Daschund clock!

 

[Cheshirecatty]

Taylor, I love your "Check Meowt" T-shirt---awesome!!

What a nice gesture from Tracy's Dad, getting you the "Oscar" clock--how fun!

 

[dznybound]

We are headed to DL this week. So looking forward to trying the hot link corn dogs at CA Adv. Smoqued also sounds so good. We may have to venture out!!

 

[tdashgirl]

Fun updates! Weird that the orange looking candy stick was cinnamon I'm not exactly scared of snakes, but having one wrapped around my neck ... Kudos to Tracy for surviving that one. Those waffle sandwiches and the bbq food you posted about look amazing. I agree, I don't know if the 420 Mac would be heavenly or disgusting

Smoqued was definitely tasty! We need to go back and try tackling that 420 Mac someday.

And we were very happy to get Oscar. He has a very prominent place on our living room wall!

Ugh, the humidity was stifling. We thought we had left all that behind when we left New York!!

Sounds like a good plan to just stay home for the 4th of July. I think that's what we'll do next time.

And it was very sweet of Tracy's parents to buy the dachshund clock. We like him a lot!

So sorry that we didn't get to meet up this weekend! We hadn't really thought about how much the temperature would drop after dark, and both of us were shivering after the parade. Next time, though!

Taylor, I love your "Check Meowt" T-shirt---awesome!!

Thanks! When I saw that shirt at Target, I knew I had to have it.

We were so surprised when he brought out Oscar for us! It was a fun gift.

Awesome! Hope you enjoy the hot link corn dog (and Smoqued too if you end up making to to Orange)!

It was definitely weird how the flavors of the candy sticks didn't match with the colors. I'm glad the cast member let us trade. And I'm the same way about snakes. They don't scare me, but I wouldn't have wanted Charlie around my neck. We were definitely happy with all the fun places we got to eat when Tracy's parents were here. Now the two of us need to go back to Smoqued someday to take on the 420 Mac!
