Minnies Moonlight Funkadelic Madness 2009

They have this charity scavenger hunt every year at Disneyland. This year Wendy signed up to have a team. There are four people to a team. Wendy was our team lead and there was Tammy, Salina and I. Wednesday Christy and I drove to Anaheim. When Salina and Tammy got there the four of us left for dinner. Connie and Terry were so awesome and volunteered to watch Christy and Salina's kids so we could go and have a good time. We had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. After dinner we headed to Disneyland. It was a different experience because they were closing the park so the majority of people were leaving, and all the teams for the scavenger hunt were heading into the park. We met in the arena by the BBQ and had instructions and took a quiz. They also presented a check for $8000 to the charity. After the instructions phase we left the arena, as soon as we left the arena we had to be clipped together. We had to stay clipped together the whole time except for special clues that we had to solve. We had ten easy clues and two hours to finish. It was a lot of back and forth across the park. At one point Salina had to be a donkey and kick a paper football (that she made) across the goal posts (Wendy and I) all well braying like a donkey. Then at another clue I had to be blindfolded and put together a Star Wars Potato head. I did it pretty fast, and to be honest the blindfold was not all that great ( I could kinda see thru it). We finished all ten clues with five or ten minutes to spare. After the hunt we all went to Tammy's house to spend the night. We all slept in and then when we finally got up we went to breakfast at The Original Pancake restaurant. Yummy!! Then we went shopping. We finally made it back to Connie and Terrys house around three. Then Christy and I headed home. I had such an amazing time and I am so grateful to Connie and Terry for watching Christy and giving me a break. I am so grateful to have such amazing cousins that are like sisters to me.

That sounds like loads of good times! Seriously, I'm a bit jealous of that particular activity; very cool.
