50th Post: The Wonderful World of Disney!

I think it's very fitting that my fiftieth post is my post about Disneyland!

To start off, Let me just say, I love Disneyland. Love it.
Let me also say, I love best buddies, and the kids in that program. Love them.
I've been considering being a special ed teacher for a little while now, but I think it might make me too anxious. I don't know. We'll have to see.

There's really too much to say about the trip and everything that happened, and I'm sure no one really cares...it's never as interesting if you weren't there. So, instead I'm just going to post about the great kids I got to go with!

Me and Cody on Dumbo! Cody is such a sweet person. At dinner the first day he said, "I am really tired, but I don't want to go back yet, because I am so lucky to be here in Disneyland, and don't want to miss a minute of it." He was so excited about everything! From riding the airplane, to staying in the hotel, to going on the rides, to meeting Mickey Mouse. He LOVED meeting Mickey Mouse. He couldn't stop talking about how Mickey gave him a kiss! Being around Cody lifted my spirits and made my experience better. He had such a good attitude about everything, and made me even more excited to be there.

Macie is the cutest girl you'll ever meet. Autopia, or "the cars" was her favorite ride. She loved being their with her "nanny" (grandma) who was also hilarious. Macie was willing to go on every single ride, which none of us expected. We went on Thunder Mountain Railroad together, and she loved putting her hands up in the air! She also loved the Haunted Mansion, she thought it was hilarious. She grabbed Dylan's and my legs so tight when we went on Tower of Terror. She loved her Mickey Balloon, and being pushed in the wheelchair. Who wouldn't?
Me and Miss Rachel were roommates, which was a blast. The only rough part was trying to get her to stop watching Wizards of Waverly Place. :) She got an awesome Mater (from Cars) ear hat. She loved all the rides, and was always a riot. I was sad I wasn't in her group, so I didn't see much of her.

Wesley is my Homeboy. He can be difficult at times, no question, but he was SO much fun. His favorite rides were Space Mountain ("Big Rocket!") and California Screamin' ("Big roller coaster!") He also loved the plane ("Big Airplane!") and riding the bus. He loved Mickey Mouse, and Disneyland in general. Since coming home, every time he sees me he looks at me for a second, gasps as though realizing something shocking, and says "Disneyland!" I say, "Yep, we went to Disneyland, huh Wes?" and nods his Wesley nod and gives me a thumbs up. He always points at the picture of us on the bulletin board and says, "Hannah and Wesley!" It melts my heart.

And, of course, Larkin. Disneyland was a miraculous place where we could hang out together, and she wouldn't ignore me or ask me to leave :) truly the happiest place on earth.

Not Pictured: My dawg, Amos. You'll probably see pictures of him later, because he asked me to Prom! :) I know it's going to be a blast.

Toodle-loo.
