Family Vacation: Part Three!
Read Part One Here and Part Two Here.
Part Three – California Adventure, burst pipes, IHOP, and DownTown Disney.
OK, so the next morning, we woke up VERY tired and VERY sore and VERY much hurting in every muscle of my body – ok, so that was just me. Everyone else was raring to go! *L* Breakfast in the office, the day’s tram tickets bought, lunches made again, and we were off like a turd of hurtles once more. This time to Disney’s California Adventure!

Family Vacation: part 2
Tuesday, November 30: Disneyland!
So, TBF and his wife wake us up “sneaking” out of the room, and we hit showers, made lunch and “snuck” around the same way until succeeding in waking up the children. Once everyone was dressed, we got our tram tickets, and headed down the street to the bench. We caught one of the first trams of the day and we were off to Disneyland! Through bag check, through the gates, and we were there in the giant human maze run by a rat! Whoot!

C’est Finis!
Yes indeedy – zee Nano is FINISHED.
27 days
67, 359 words
63 hours total writing time…
C’est Finis!
Now, to get the bugger printed. (thanks mom!) because my printer doesn’t want to FEED the bloody paper. *L* I’ll be spending the hours on the plane tomorrow night beginning the editing process. At least, that’s the plan. *chuckles* we’ll see how well that goes when dealing with 3 very excited children on their first plane ride. *L*
TWO! MORE! DAYS! and I get to see TBF again! WHOOT!
OMFG. I so gotta pack and shit. *L* not to mention redo the hair. And… and… and.
You know – it’s not to late to donate to the LEssa Vacation Fund either. *L* a family of 5, and 900 bucks for 5 days. This? will be interesting.
Diabetic Nightmare!
So – the boy says to me: “Mom, gotta make a pyramid for a project” and I say “ok, outa what?” and he says “well, most people are doing like boring paper stuff, so I want sugar cubes.” and I say… “um. Kay, I’ll get the stuff. Don’t leave it to the last minute…”
He didn’t – he started in plenty of time, but still had to work right up to the last minute. So what does 3 days, 2 things of elmers gel glue [that, coincidentally MELTS SUGAR CUBES – creating much chaos!] and five, yes FIVE boxes of sugar cubes get you?
The Great Pyramid, masquarading as the Leaning Tower of Pisa….
You can see that he carefully left an opening so that you could see into the burial chamber – the layers started to melt and slide, so poster board cut in squares was the answer to help solidify it a little bit more. It weighed almost 10 pounds, and was not exactly stable. *L* But the boy got it there, turned in on time, and didn’t even fall on his ass on the ice to watch in horror as it shattered…. but just in case that HAD happened – I had already taken these pictures as proof he had done the assignment. *chuckles*
He says the teacher was impressed, as no one put near the amount of work into it that he did. Dat’s my boy. Even when creating a diabetic nightmare, he comes out on top – total A for effort. *g*
