10/03/2004 Archived Entry: "Lazy Sunday"

Since our last few trips to Disneyland have been failures for one reason or another, we gave it another attempt today. When we got there we did the only Halloween activity they have which is to ride the Haunted Mansion Holiday. Every year they make over the Haunted Mansion to be from Nightmare Before Christmas and it runs from beginning of October through a couple days past New Year's. We all look forward to it every year and thoroughly enjoyed it. After that we just did various rides and stuff and then decided to head out since it was getting late and we wanted lunch. On our way we saw Bert! As in from Mary Poppins. First time we ever met him. He was with Mary and a Penguin and they were on their way to the carousel which was rather far and in the opposite direction from where we were going. So I just asked if I could quickly get a photo and they agreed. Tabitha wanted to get Bert's autograph as well, but I told her not to ask them since they were kind enough to stop for us when they were trying to get somewhere. So hopefully next time.

After a couple more stops we finally got out of there and had lunch/ dinner at Denny's before heading home. Once home, we all did our own thing and then hit the store. Tabitha and Chris played chess again and then Tabitha received a phone call. From Princess Jasmine no less :) It was a good-night call, but that's all I know as the child patently refuses to tell us what Jasmine said. But Tabitha was not only shocked to receive the call, after she hung up she sat on my lap and just hugged me with all her might. I honestly think she had tears in her eyes from happiness. I'm not sure if she knows that I set up the call, but it was so worth it. I'm going to have other princesses call her periodically just for the heck of it :)
