Labor Day Weekend at Disneyland!

For Labor Day Weekend, we met with friends and family at Disneyland for the annual 1/2 Marathon Weekend. Due to injuries sustained earlier in the season, our two "real" runners could only help out in the Kids' Races on Saturday. But I think they still had fun! Here's a picture of Dawn getting ditched (I mean, trying to keep an eye on) Davis, Kohei, and Sabine (not shown):

I never saw those three kids, but soon Joseph & Ron appeared:

There were two last runners in this group (4–7 year olds, but I don't think either made the cut), you can see them in the distance! I think Akemi's going to want to run with Kohei's age group forever, now, she got so much applause!

We all went over to California Adventure to ride Toy Story Mania:

Then we cut in front of a guy who was having the time of his life, at Disneyland by himself, so we could get a group picture!

Sunday

Unfortunately, our local friends had to go home, but many of us stayed on to enjoy the surprisingly not crowded park! (We even got repeats on Splash Mountain and Winnie the Pooh!)

I guess we didn't have the King of Camelot with us that day, although all the "kids" tried:

Teacups were as popular as ever:

Some people enjoyed It's a Small World, and I went on it, too.

And it turns out Lightening McQueen can even get Joseph to smile for a picture!

Monday

Many of us had a long drives ahead of us, but we decided to go to the park again for just a few hours. We went on Indiana Jones, California Screamin', and got a carmel apple! Then to cap it off, we went on Toy Story Mania! to cap off our weekend, and Dawn got a really high score. That was the first time we've seen the antelope, although I think it was only about half of the high scores posted for the day! How do they do that??

How many days until our next trip?
