October, 2009 ~ Rodney's sister had some time in her schedule and decided make a long weekend trip out. When she flew in her flight was to get in about 11pm. As Rodney and I were driving to the airport, we couldn't believe the heavy fog....and sure enough shortly after we got to the airport, heard the announcement that her flight was diverted to LA!!! Then we had to wait to see what was going to happen next. As it turned out, they decided to bus them down instead of flying them in a smaller plane. So, we went back home, took a few snoozes on the couch and headed back to the airport to pick her up about 2:30AM!!! She realized that with the time difference from Texas, she had at that point been up basically 24 hours!! But, that didn't stop us---after a bit of sleep, we were out the door about 9AM for a yummy Chick-fil-A breakfast, then on the road (back to LA!) to go to Disneyland/California Adventure!!! It was exciting since they were all decked out for Halloween :) Enjoy the pictures.....

The caterpillar from "Bug's Life" was responsible for the bite out of the candy corn, but I never could get a picture of him!!
Rodney enjoyed the decorations a lttle too much, I think!

And then there are the RIDES!! One thing about Disney, even if you have to wait in line, they keep it entertaining..... Good company helps, too :-)
