NATIONAL YOUTH WORKER'S CONVENTION HIGHLIGHTS

So much has happened already that I am sure that I cannot recall it all. What a trip! Now I remember why this is our favorite trip every year.

This year added a little side-fun to the mix, also, with a trip to the across-the-street Disneyland theme parks (yes, there are two of them now). We arrived on Thursday at about 10 am (Disney time), checked into our hotel, found a cool place to eat, took a short nap, and then went to the “magical kingdom”.

It was an excellent day for visiting the “happiest place on the earth”. The weather was favorable and the lines were short. We were able to hit every major attraction within the park in our allotted four-hours that our twilight tickets would allow us be there. Of course, we made a stop into a gift shop to pick up mouse ears for our two oldest girls. We picked out a pirate’s hat for “Captain Bella”.

We do need to do it again sometime as Deanna wasn’t able to get the full experience because of our little one inside of her. She was unable to go on several of the bigger, funner rides. As for the rides, my personal favorite, by far, was the Indiana Jones themed ride – very cool! The scariest ride (I’m scared to bring up the memories of it even now) was “It’s a Small World After All”. This attraction was almost like a never ending hell of some sort. Aaaaack! It truly was the song that NEVER ended… and there were several hundred similar looking children singing that blasted song every time we entered each new room – all 7 or 8 of them!
