Our second day at the Disneyland Resort was spent at California Adventure. Juniper favours the more extreme rides, while Henry prefers slower attractions. With lots of encouragement, Henry agreed to try the Grizzly River Run. Henry’s first ride, with a little trepidation, instantly became his favourite. It was so much fun that we went down the rapids two more times. The kids wore raincoats, and Grandpa, with much wisdom, elected to purchase a poncho. The others braved the river in street clothes alone. Grandma got absolutely soaked, and Peter and Hailey were definitely on the rather damp side. Traffic in the entire park was pleasantly light, and we had a blast all through the day. Tomorrow we are back at Disneyland. Stay tuned…
First ride
We’ve been planning and doing our research for months. Henry is finally old enough to go to Disneyland and remember it. Juniper, Henry, Hailey and Peter joined Janis & I on a trip to our favourite place. The kids have grown up watching us build all manner of creative endeavours and see this park with a very different eye than most. Henry is determined to figure out how they build and operate every attraction here. He asked that the first ride we rode would be Pirates of the Caribbean. As we rode through, he supplied the narration, teaching me all he had figured out. He understood a whole lot and had a keen eye for the details. Our first day was a wonderful success, and a good time was had by all. Tomorrow we’ll head back for more research. Stay tuned…
It's a KRAKEN!
While I was in England visiting the fabulous Tulley’s Farm, our crew continued to work in the shop. The main project was sculpting the giant Kraken tentacles that are gobbling up the small rowboat that will act as a very fun photo op at the pirate mini golf at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska. As always, the crew did a fabulous job! This coming week, they will tackle the sculpting of the boat. Stay tuned…
