Day one of Disneyland!

We had a wonderful time talking late into the night 2/4. I was up at 4:00am (7am boston time) and I could not go back to sleep so after trying for 2 hours I gave up and hoped into the Shower around 6 and prayed that I didn't wake my parents. They woke up around 7 and my Dad and I went to get our Free breakfast from the Hotel... I love free food, it makes me happy inside!
After dinner we headed over to Target for some bottled water since you can buy a case of water for $4 and it is about $5 for one in the park so even if we don't drink them all we saved millions on water.
Anywhos,We finally headed over to the park around 9:30 and it was RAINING!!! Not to bad at first, but then it went slowly to big fat drops as the day went on. We started in Disneyland and we were able to enjoy short lines due to rain. We had such an amazing time together and It is hard to describe all of the joy I felt while I was there with my Family. The park closed at 8:00 because of the rain and we went to meet our some Family Friends at i hope for dinner. It was great fun to meet up with them. I was so tiered that after dinner I just went back and hit the bed. That was a good end to the day.

SURPRISE!!!!!

This year for my Birthday I decided to give myself (Yes the selfish person I am gave myself a gift) a trip to Disneyland in Californian. I also decided with my Dad to Surprise my Mom with this trip by not telling her. My Dada and I planed everything and my Mom had no idea that her trip to Disneyland for my Birthday was really going to be celebrated with me. The amazing part about all of this was my Dad is the worst at keeping secrets and lying if someone asks about a surprise... So I was really nervous about telling him but I had to tell someone so I had a place to stay and a ride to the airport. I try to surprise my Mom about 3 years ago for Mothers day and My Dad let the cat out of the bag by saying "You know Shawnnee will want to go to 'White Fence Farms' for dinner when we get there. My Mom knew that I was coming after that so My Dad didn't talk to my Mom about Disneyland much, they go all the time so it was okay to not talk about every detail. I got my tickets Dec. 27th and he was able to keep it a secret, my Mom had no idea! It was the best. My Dada and I e-mailed every day asking each other Disneyland questions and ended asking around 150 questions. It was a lot of fun. Since I was the Lier of the group about a week before I left I started setting up lies to tell my Mom so that she didn't think anything of my phone being off when she tried to call me when she left the airport and landed in Long Beach. (My Mom ALWAYS Calls me when she takes off and lands, because I want to know when she is in the air) So I started writing stuff on Facebook about my boss asking me to work on my birthday weekend and how 'Dare she' ask that. So I write that I was working late on Thursday 2/4 (The day I was flying out). So as planed my Mom asked me about working that night and how 'Dare she' and I told her they were going to R.I to celebrate a friends birthday so I would most likely be working really late but she still needed to call me.
So on the day of my flight I went about my normal post on FB and when I got to the airport I sent my Mom a text that my Phone was almost dead because I forgot to plug it in the night before so If I didn't reply thats why but she still needed to try to call/text when she left and landed. So I took off and when I landed I had my two texts from my Mom saying she had landed and they were going out with friends. I knew this because Dad and I had planed that I was going to take a Shuttle to the hotel and I was going to text him when I got there. So all went as planed. I sent him my text when I got there and he left the room to get "Ice" which was true and false... So he met me at the front and I took the ice to my Mom. I opened the door and said "I heard you needed ice" My Mom was SPEECHLESS! If you know my mom you know that is a near impossible thing that happens less then the Blue Moon. She let out a little scream and then came over and gave me a great big hug. It was great! It was 10pm when I got there and we didn't go to bed until around 1am because we were all talking and surprised. It was the best Surprise I have ever pulled off. My Dad did a good job keeping it a secret.
I will right more about my trip soon.
