Busy Weekend!

I know, I know....It's been a while since I have written a new blog. I just haven't been motivated lately. Either that, or I am just a boring person. It might be a little bit of both. :) Who knows! Anyway, I thought since I haven't written a new blog in a while that I would tell all of you wonderful readers about our very busy weekend. On Friday, we decided that we were going to stay home and watch a movie. This is typically our movie night, but lately we just haven't had the chance. We watched Igor. It's a cute Disney movie. Savvy has a short attention span when it comes to watching new movies, but what she did watch, she seemed to enjoy. I don't know that anything will top Walle or Cars for her though. She loves those movies. Overall, it was a good movie, but not one that I would recommend over other Disney flicks.
On Saturday, we decided that we were going to go to the Wild Animal Park. We have season passes to the San Diego Zoo and the Animal Park. Unfortunately, they are going to expire soon and we had yet to make it to the Animal Park....so off we went. Has anyone ever realized how far away this park is? Especially when you drive the hour and twenty minutes to get there, only to find out that the directions were wrong and you get lost in Escondido area for 45 minutes! LOL Just remember there is more than one San Pasqual road. In fact, there are 3 San Pasquals.... (San Pasqual Rd, Old San Pasqual Rd, and San Pasqual Valley Rd.) Dumb googlemaps....That's all I will say about that. We eventually got there, only to wait in a 20 minute line just to get in. Parking at the Animal Park is ridiculous. It was a nice park though. We had a nice time and were happy that we went, but will probably not be going back. Not only is it a lot of walking to get from one place to the other, but a lot of the animals are too far away to get a good look at. If you want to fork out the money to go on all the tours, then it would be worth it. We still had a nice time, but much rather go to the zoo!

On Sunday, we spent the morning at church....and then headed to Disneyland. Did I mention that Sunday was Superbowl Sunday? I like football, but don't really have a team that I root for, with exception for Ohio State. I have and will always be an Ohio State Buckeye fan, born and raised....even though I have lived in California most of my life. Since they weren't in the Superbowl, I really had no interest in it. I did bet Bryan that the Steelers would win. Go me! Anyway, we decided to make a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth....Only to find it was super crowded! We were surprised! Why weren't all these people at home watching the game? There must have been several angry husbands at the park that day...that's all we could figure. It was a lot of fun though. Anytime we go to Disneyland, we have a blast! Savannah loves her some "Mickey and Minnie's House," as she calls it. We even made a quick trip to California Adventure to ride the Toy Story Ride. If you haven't been on....GO and GO NOW! It is one of my favorite rides. It is so much fun. Overall the day was great! Just before we left, Savvy got to see Mickey and Minnie and it just made her day.

The weekend was great and tiring all at the same time. It was so tiring that Bryan stayed home "sick" the next day, just to recover. Sadly though he has ended up with a cold. Savvy too! Now if they can only get better. What a blessed weekend though. God is good to us! Below are a few pictures from the eventful weekend. Enjoy!
