Disneyland Mark Twain Riverboat: Almost Wordless Wednesday

We suppose the title for today's post is a bit of a misnomer, since the pictures we've chosen to exhibit aren't actually of the Mark Twain Riverboat at Disneyland, but rather pictures we took from the Riverboat.  We've been riding the boat a lot more frequently on recent trips out, and there's tons of great photos to be had all over the Rivers of America.  These are some of our favorites from this past weekend.  Enjoy!

Look! It's a great big ole piece of petrified wood!

He IS the King of the River...

No idea who these dudes were looking for, but Mark hid upstairs as we went by

Gone fishin'...

Dam it! *drum roll*

We sincerely hope these guys can't jump 20 feet like their Bengal cousins

How many attractions can we get in one picture?!

"Almost" Wordless Wednesday: Some Random Park-Influenced Goodness

Okay, okay.  We couldn't stay away for two whole days.  We're weak like that, we guess.  So here are a few pictures we've had hanging around for a while.  We've been looking for a spot to put them, and it seemed like the perfect time.

All of these were taken with a cell phone.  Usually, we like to carry the DSLR around with us, but there's just something about grabbing shots (or at least trying to) on the fly that's appealing and very often gives pictures a little more character than a "professional" shot might have.

With that in mind, here are some shots we've taken recently in The Park, as well as some around the house that were "Park-influenced", we guess you could say.

Enjoy!

Couldn't resist a ride.  "We think we can, we think we can..."

"RAWR!"

One of our favorite spots in The Park; and the first place we ever got yelled at to "keep our arms in the boat".

Harold likes to roam around the room late at night.  No idea how he got there.

A little Star Tours concept art.  Can't wait for 2.0!

Poor kid's been fishing for years...

The single greatest moment of my life

"Almost" Wordless Wednesday: Rivers of America

There's really nothing terribly unique or superb about this photo, yet it nonetheless remains one of our favorites.  There's just nothing quite like the river and the Mark Twain on a cool, crisp morning.  Enjoy!
