Me So Happy  

Posted by Ryan Woods

It rained and it poured.
I was as wet as a dog in a car wash. My wife was in a similar position.
Jones was cold, hungry, wet, and happy.
We were in California, or even better yet, we were in Disney Land.
They say that it is warm and beautiful down there, but I disagree.
Myth.
Age old traditions passed down through the generations. Nothing more.
Disneyland, however, is so much deeper than myth.
Legend.
Jones visited the magical Tiki Room, Small World, and Bugs Life among others. He loved it all. He could hardly keep himself from jumping up and down in that awkward fashion that babies of only seven months do. I think he may have been making an attempt at dancing, but instead his body bobbed up and down like a bowie lost at sea. He smiled, he giggled, and he looked around in awe and amazement. "I've never seen a bird talk before" Jones would have said if he was a second coming of Doogie. Concerning Small World I imagine that Jones would have said "What the *&%$ is up with all these creepy dolls! Get me the &!#$ out of here mom", though his eyes seemed to only say "Me so happy".
The Meatball was happy.
I was happy.
Jessica was happy.
We were all at the happiest place on earth.
My brother in law Jeremy got back from Iraq safe and sound...and we are all happy.

You guys are cutest freaking family ever! So thanks for calling us, it was great to see you while you in Southern California, Rolo and I were so blessed to have been able to see such good friends. I mean, you and I grew up together, ah... so many memories, and you and Rolo lived in Portugal together, so many good times, it was so nice to reminice and renew old friendships. Yup... oh, wait...YOU DIDN'T CALL!
It's ok, though, and I do think you are funny. I'm glad your back so that Arwen and I have something esle to read!

OH MY GOSH. I love that picture. You don't even know. Glad that everyone is happy and safe. Lets hope that "what happened in Disneyland last time" didn't happen this time... right?!

I really wish we could have seen y'all. I drove all night Saturday and half the day Sunday. We spent a couple of days with Jeremy, one day in Disneyland, and then drove straight home Wednesday morning. It was pretty short and sweet.

Wait a frickin' second! How many times have you and Rollie come up to Washington and never even dropped an email, a call, or a blog post! I'm filled with rage and all other sorts of emotion.

Hehe...oops! Well...hello...I am from there, so I will go there all time. How many times do you come down here? Yeah, thats what I thought!

what you said: "myth"
what you should have said: "Fact or fiction: Disneyland is warm and sunny. FICTION!"
That would have been great.

that's a great picture of your little family!
