Today's quote:

"One day, when we have forgotten our names, the only proof

that we were ever here may be those old portraits somewhere

in dusty albums." - Duane Michals

We of course went on the new Toy Mania ride... Lola and Kiley for the first time... Zoe and I have been on it many times now... its one of our favorites beside the buzz lightyear ride!!!

We had a lot of fun... walked both parks and closed down disneyland... my little Zoe was asleep before we hit the main gates to go home... Kiley such a tropper stayed up till we got home... which was of course well past midnight...

I will be back later to post layouts... I took some picutes, but they turned out a little fuzzy... I need to retake them.
