Veteran's Day

 

Today, we took part in Bend's Veteran's Day parade. I rode in a float with the Bethel.

While Bryan walked with his Boy Scout troop.

Jennifer also met up with the Girl Scouts.

Holidays at Disneyland

California Adventure went from having its letters look like Candy Corn on October 31st . . .

to looking like Candy Canes on November 1st.

Of course the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay fits in with both Halloween and Christmas decorations. 

We spent three more days in the parks after Halloween, enjoying the rides and shows. Thursday we ate lunch at Storytellers, and in the afternoon the kids made Mickey and Minnie dolls at Build-A-Bear. Yesterday we headed north and stopped for the night in the Bay Area, where we visited friends.

Halloween at Disneyland

 

At the end of October we headed down to Disneyland and spent five days hopping between the parks.  For the first two days the parks were decorated for Halloween.

The first night we stayed at the Paradise Pier Hotel, which is right across the street from California Adventure, but then we switched to a room at the Grand Californian, which is even closer. 

Our room had a great view of Grizzly Mountain, which for the first night had cobwebs projected onto it.

In California Adventure, they had replaced the Golden Dreams movie with a Golden Screams show.

We had fun meeting Jack Sparrow while we had lunch at the Blue Bayou.
