Part 1 of 2000 posts of Cali

My family has now given Disneyland, SeaWorld and Universal Studios enough money to keep their park running for five more years. How did we do this? Simple, the fact that a hamburger costs $6, Cotton Candy $5, Frozen Lemonade $4.50, Chimmychunga $5.50, Ice cream $5.97, Panda $9.00, Pizza $7.00, Coke $3.50, Churro $3.50, Carnival Games $20.00, and last but not least, pictures... a grand total of somewhere around $200.00 (Just for the pictures). But memories are priceless. Oh and the food up there was per item so when you take into account that we probably ate the entire park out of cotton candy, popcorn and ice cream, we are thinking somewhere in the millions. I am just going to post all of our purchased pictures with zoom ins on some of my favorite faces. Enjoiiiii.

This picture is in front of the House of Horrors at Universal Studios. It was completely terrifying for me but luckily I had Sarah and Mitch in front of me to take all of the horrors. When we were finished, I was searching for the nearest defibrillator so that I could restart my heart... and I may have peed a little, but I'll never tell...

This one is from the ride in SeaWorld known as Journey to Atlantis. This ride was "Da Bomb" and now if you look closely to the right side of this picture you will become obsessed with it.
See I told you so and don't worry, I am totally ok with the fact that you just made it your desktop background because I did too.

This one is from Jurassic Park, and don't let my face fool you... I was just as scared as when I went through the house of horrors, I have dinosaur phobia, they are the base of my nightmares. And yes, that yellow poncho was whipping us all in the face. However, the back seat seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Oh, you want to see a little bit closer? This is by far my favorite picture of Sarah in the existence of pictures of Sarah.
Yes I just changed my desktop again.

This picture and the Journey to Atlantis picture are the only two that aren't staged, so in this you get to see what we all look like completely surprised. Nick is definitely my favorite. He is famous in our family for saying "wooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" and it is demonstrated here.
Space mountain... and here is the close up, it says it all...
These last ones are my personal favorites because they all have stories behind them. As you will notice, we started getting creative with the plotting of our poses.In this one, we thought it would be really funny to all go down straight faced and to not make a peep at all because there is a gigantic crowd sitting at the bottom, watching and waiting to hear all the girly screams from grown men. It worked out beautifully. We left everyone completely confused.
Here is the close up. That is me in the hood, I wanted to be extra dazzling. Plus I knew that there was no way that I could hold in a scream unless I suffocated myself. You notice tiny little smiles on some people, but that was only because it was so quiet it was hilarious.

You notice how are family is the only family in this one? (Besides Shanna who decided to sleep in.) That is because our family was selected to be the "first family" We got to open up the park and be the first to ride the ride and be the only ones in the elevator. Then we were given two fast passes for our entire family to return to it any time during the day. Sheer royalty now so bow to me. Here is my favorite in this picture...

I am going to frame this poster size and place it above our garage outside of the house. That should keep the neighbor kid that insists on feeding the dogs chocolate away.

I have saved the best for last. We decided to get ultra creative and pose for a cheesy family photo. This is actually quiet difficult when you are free-falling in an elevator.
We will photo shop Kyles face onto that little girls face in the back. The one wearing the green shirt, it should fit nicely. Come Christmas time don't be surprised if this photo or any of the other hundred are on it.
