Last Days in SoCal MP

Two days ago, we were driving around on a Hollywood tour bus taking in the sites and celebrities' homes. While driving through Beverly Hills, right beside Rodeo Drive, Jonah and I thought we spotted PK Subban (NHL hockey player) dodging across the street and into a coffee shop.

When we got back to the hotel, we checked his Instagram account to confirm it was him. He hadn't posted anything in days so we were left to wonder.

Yesterday, to our surprise, he started posting many videos from the ESPY Awards in L.A. confirming that he is/was in the neighborhood. So as true Canadians, while in Beverly Hills, we have a confirmed siting of a celeb hockey player, Sorry, no Brads, Georges, or Jennifers.

Beverly Hills has its own police force, laws, landscaped roads, street signs and lots of other things to make it elitist.

We spent yesterday at Disneyland. We had so much fun going on as many rides as possible.

Some rides Siena liked, like Splash Mountain. I got volun-told to sit in the front where you get most wet but I held the Go Pro which is a big deal (argument) in our family.

Some rides Siena didn't like.

I have to agree with Siena. This ride was Space Mountain. It's a roller coaster running in the dark - dumb!

Lynn is an expert at the fast pass system. We never waited more than 30 minutes for any ride and often walked right up to the front of very long lines.

The kiddos were troopers, walking over 10 kilometres yesterday.

Jonah usually climbs, jumps, runs, and dodges wherever we are going and it's never in a straight line so I think he covered 15 kilometres, easy.

We're adjusting to the groupie pics instead of asking strangers all the time to take our pictures. It cuts down on all the autographs and crowds.

Talking about bad jokes, we went on a Jungle Cruise ride. It's was hilarious for me, however Lynn hurt her neck from shaking it so much and the jokes went right over the kids heads (they are short). The entire 8 minute script delivered by the tour guide was filled with bad jokes and puns.

1. "Do you know why it's called the Nile River? Becuse it goes on for niles and niles. If you don't believe me, you must be in de-nile."

2. "This canabal is a real humanitarian."

3. This elephant is the second most deadliest animal in the jungle. The MOST dangerous animal in the jungle is his mother-in-law, over there." (Sorry Karen)

You get it the idea.

We had lunch in ToonTown and met Mickey; a must for every visit.

For a break in the afternoon, we took in a show. The cast picked people from the audience to play roles within the skit. It was funny too. So much so, the kids wanted to return to see it again. Upon return, Lynn and I sat in prime seats and I bet Lynn that I would be picked. The kids were scared and refused to sit with us. Who doesn't pick the happy-go-lucky bald guy in the front row?
