We found Nemo and Beth is tall...

We went to Disneyland recently when Grandma Judy (that's her with Adam in the submarine)came to town and thanks to a quiet mid-week visit, the line was finally short enough for Nemo's submarine ride. We waited less than 30 minutes. The kids loved it. Jason's favorite part was Bruce the shark, Beth loved Nemo and Crush and Adam...he seemed to like all the bubbles best but maybe he'll tell us more in a few years. As for me, I miss the mermaid but Darla was an amusing replacement. Conclusion...we'll ride again (as long as the wait is not hours like it was all summer!)

In other Disneyland news...Beth is officially 40 inches (according to Disneyland anyway). This means that much to mom's chagrin, she's tall enough for Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain. She loved them both, actually rode Thunder Mountain twice. Mom was super nervous for her on Splash Mountain and just kept telling her the story of Brer Rabbit so she would focus on that and the inevitable Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah ending.

And that is exactly what she did! That's us in the back of the log, mom's red shirt , Jason in front of us and Beth's blonde hair (she's sitting next to mom). Technically, she's even tall enough for Space Mountain but she doesn't need to know that. It's scary enough that Jason's asking to go. I promised he could go when he turns five (that's in January! How did that happen so fast!)
