WE'RE BACK

Our trip to Disneyland was a huge success and a very welcome respite from our daily grind! Matt had an initial job interview at Fred Hutch the afternoon before we left and Missy got to spend the weekend at the Parker grandparent's. We suspect that since the Parker parent's cat Simon and Missy got along so well that there might be a new cat addition sometime in the near future at the Ruston house!



We were there on Valentines Day with our cute matching shirts, which we got quite a few compliments on and Matt got a little grief for too! Whoops, sorry Matt! This is the ONLY Valentine decoration in the park! Janelle was disappointed that Disney did not get more in the spirit of love!

Janelle was asked twice by park staff to carry the coveted line marker tag to estimate line waits. Here she is taking her jobs very seriously.

Getting scared for the Haunted House.


Our last night at the park, we managed to accumulate five fast passes, and added two more during the sequence for a total of 7 rides right in a row, which was a really fun way to end our trip. We went on Indiana Jones, Thunder Mountain, California Soarin', California Screamin', Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain and yes you guessed it Thunder Mountain.
Overall we had gorgeous weather, very sore feet and an awesome time!

Hope you enjoyed our pics, and as an added bonus, here is a video of Janelle on her favorite ride California Screamin'. Sorry its sideways...

DISNEYLAND HERE WE COME!

We are flying down to (hopefully) sunny California tomorrow to spend some time with Mickey, Minnie, Donald and the whole crew! We have super cheesy matching shirts to wear on Valentines and are hoping that it is decorated for the day of love! Mostly though we are just super excited to get to spend some fun time together away from all the craziness of our regular lives! To Be Continued....
