The Weekend We Lived

Cheesecake buffet: I told the woman at The Cheesecake Factory "You have made me so very happy!"

Pumped for celebrating mass with 40 thousand people! Check out the decorations and beautiful altar.

Watch out Disneyland, here I come!

Space Mountain was terrifying. I tensed every muscle in my body...notice the claw hand. The only time I stopped screaming was to gag. Luckily the ride ended just in time.

We were already soaked from the rain so we did Splash Mountain twice. Notice the praying hands... I was praying I would not pass out from fear.

On fire for Jesus on our way to whale watching.
