It's hard to convince the kids that they want to go sit down for one of those despite the fact that they enjoy them. It's like trying to get them to try new foods.<br /><br />I'm not sure what my French toast secret is other than the bread, which my wife makes. However, sometimes I use sourdough, and that tops other French toasts, too (according to my family).<br /><br />Alex: Despite what I say about my kids and the headaches they can cause, they are totally worth it.<br /><br />Anne: The fireworks were amazing. It's so neat to be somewhere where there are fireworks shows like that. And parades. And, just, everything!<br />And, you know, some of those pins are worth quite a bit. I was surprised to find out that the whole thing really only started in 2000. <br /><br />Nancy: Oh, but it was SO much fun! Even with the drama. I just had to point out that there was some drama.<br /><br />S.L.: Well, um, I'm in my 40s, and it was amazing. Trust me, if I could have afforded it, I would have wiped out Star Traders.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-59547301867208933532012-09-03T11:25:32.721-07:002012-09-03T11:25:32.721-07:00I may be in my 20's, but I am not past the poi...I may be in my 20's, but I am not past the point when Legos, Star Wars pins and Disneyland doesn't still sound amazing to me. And I think I'm with you son on this one. Legos from Disneyland are better than those from a regular store. S. L.

We went before we had adopted our son so it was just our daughter, but there were still arguments about where to go and what to do. There were two days where all she wanted to do was stay at the hotel and swim in the hotel pool! Drove me bonkers.<br /><br />And I remember the light shows on the water. We had dinner one night and came out to a pier and out of nowhere there appeared fireworks on a barge-shaped like dragons. And then light shows of different sea creatures. It was the closest thing I've ever come to, to the magic I made believe in as a little girl.<br /><br />And we did the pin thing too. We've kept them for all these years and each one carries it's own memory.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681799401614263953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-75092314098745057172012-09-03T08:35:36.148-07:002012-09-03T08:35:36.148-07:00The Muppet 3D show is featured at what used to be ...The Muppet 3D show is featured at what used to be MGM Studios here on the east coast - and it's fun.<br />And you have convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt that I'm glad I don't have kids.

The light show and theatre are a must-see, and Disneyland is expert at putting on a good show. <br /><br />Enjoyed this post, and I think it's sweet that your daughter gave her dad a compliment on his cooking. So, what's your secret for French toast?D.G. Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213237734772028645noreply@blogger.com
