Put a ring through my nose and brand my hind quarter!

There is nothing like a day at Disneyland to make you feel like you are part of a huge herd.   With queues of thousands, we spent most of the day shuffling along in roped off lines.   Still despite the crowds we did get to go on some rides and had a really fun day.  The best part of the day was meeting up with Michiko and her Mum who were waiting for us as we approached the entrance.   Michiko came running down towards us in a very excited manner, calling out to us.   It was great to see her again!   Between Michiko's English and Nick's Japanese we were able to communicate quite well during that day.

The kids had a fabulous day and all agreed that it was a great way to spend Christmas day.   We finally struggled back to the hotel by about 11pm so suffice to say we were all very tired and extremely foot sore.   We took thousands of photos again which I will load today - just have to clear off some space from the the computer.  With the photos and videos we are taking, the computer's hard drive is nearly full.
