An Attempt at Proffesional Photography

In our Stake, we meet as a stake for mutual. That means that mutual is held at stake level. On the first Wednesday of the Month we have Ward Mutual. This last one, we went to Rancho San Antonio. Brother Grover, a professional photographer, came to teach us a couple tips. Then we took pictures. Above are some of my best and favorites.

Notes:The Girl in the Grass is my friend Maddie Johnson.
The Bug in the above picture. Is HUGE. It resembles a big Bee and ant. It was really neat.

(The Lady who did this ride was really funny and kept giving jokes. There was a Big snake(forgot the name, started with a 'P') and she said, "Oh no it's a man-eating __snake__! But, ladies, don't worry, it's a man- eating __snake__ so we're safe!")

Disneyland Trip Part 2: Disneyland!

So on Tuesday we woke up SO EXCITED( you can't imagine). I mean we've waited to go for a long time. And now we got to go. I thought it was an awesome dream. We rushed through breakfast and getting ready so we could head over to stand in line. We waited for about a 1/2 hour(it seemed like an infinity). Then, the gates opened! We got in and didn't go anywhere.

Just kidding. We went and got in line to be let into the park. We were sort of in the middle of the Main Street USA. FINALLY they opened the gates. The first ride I went on was Dumbo. I know. But Dad and Adam had gone to get Fast Passes( see Glossary at the bottom) for Indiana Jones, so I took Laurel. I tell you, that girl is taking after her big sister(yours truly). She loves all the kind of rides I like. anyways so then we went thought Fantasy a bit. We rode, Teacups and that stuff. Then as a family, we went on It's A Small World. That was one cool ride. It's a boat ride that longer than the wait(that's what you want)! You go through many rooms seeing singing puppets dressed up as people from around the world. It was really cool. Loved it! Thus went the day, from ride to ride. Here are some rides I really enjoyed; Pirates of the Carribean, Autopia, Indiana Jones Adventure, Matterhorn Boblsleds, Splash Mountain, & SPACE MOUNTAIN. Space Mountain is THE BEST ride! It really makes you feel like you are flying in space. It is commonly known as a roller coaster in the dark. It is. sort of. There are stars(aka lights that look like stars). It looks and feels like space. It is awesome. Here are some of my siblings favorites.

Adam-Indiana Jones & Space Mountain
Mackenzie & Jamie: Haunted Mansion & Pirates of the Carribbean.

anyway, We had a really fun time at Dineyland. All of the above is the summary. I could talk forever(not only about Disneyland). IF you have other questions just leave a comment. I would love to share. Well, Part 2 1/2 will have the Pictures, so check back soon!


Love, Hannah!

Fast Pass- a ticket that lets you skip the regular lines and go to the front. This is very helpful for Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, & Splash Mountain.
