Sunday morning we slept in! That never happens. We had our breakfast and then said, should we go to the park? We decided we would go and enjoy the day. We NEVER do things like this on Sunday and it didn't feel quite right, but we decided we were spending quality time together and this is one of the times we would need to repent later! I told Dave that no way would we wear our BYU shirts on this day! Ha! Well, guess what...we ran into not one but TWO of our fellow saints from Clovis at the park!! Busted! We were walking along the main street of California Adventures and I did a double take because here was Linda Ryan coming towards us pushing a stroller!! Wow...what are the odds!? It was so fun to see her even if it was just for a couple of minutes! We saw Tom too, he was getting fast passes for the grandkids. It was so funny. Then later in the day we were sitting on a bench people watching, and along comes Julie Hitchcock and two of her sisters! It was one of their birthdays and they were spending time together too. I had Dave take our picture but it didn't turn out. THEN, when we were eating dinner, we saw a girl at one of the tables in a BYU shirt! We suddenly didn't feel AS bad that we were there on Sunday, but I definitely did my repenting. I enjoyed the day with Dave. We found the Monster's Inc. ride which we had never been to before. As we were approaching it, one of the workers invited us over to the "back door" and she let us right in. Maybe because we were two old people with no little kids she did us a favor. Ha. We didn't have to wait in the line. It was cute ride and I am happy we found something new! We also got tickets to see Frozen. I was excited for Dave to see it because I knew he would love all the technical, computer aspects of it. And he did! I love how the stage shows the running water fall and it looks like the water is flowing right off the edge of the stage. We sat down close enough that we got "snowed" on in the one part of the play where they make the soap flake bubble things come down on part of the audience. We saw a statue of Mickey and Walt that I had never seen before either. I like it! We watched the Pixar parade. It is always fun. We walked over to Disneyland for the afternoon, got some ice cream and watched the "Dapper Dans" do a performance. They are a great barbershop quartet. It was fun. We rode the Buzz Lightyear ride and I bet Dave by a ton! He made us ride it again and I beat him again! I'm not that good at it, but I definitely had an advantage over him for some reason. In CA adventure we rode the new "Soaring over the World." That was really neat! I love that ride and was afraid I would be disappointed, but it was amazing! Still my favorite ride now. We didn't do a ton of rides, just walked around, ate some good food and enjoyed the parades and music. We didn't stay out late, after dinner we went back to our hotel to rest and relax. I don't like to admit that I went there on Sunday, but I did really enjoy my day with Dave and it was really weird to be there and not be pushing strollers and running to get fast passes for everyone. A totally different experience. It was a beautiful day and I LOVED seeing Linda! I miss her!
