Yesterday, I took the day off to support some young family members in another courthouse. The case resolved itself to the family’s satisfaction, so after a shabu shabu lunch together with the family, Mr. W and I went to Disneyland. (How cliche, huh?)

Earlier this week, I got thrown into a mood of urgency when I found out that the Halloween theme ends this weekend, as with the brand new Jack Skellington-MCed fireworks show “Halloween Screams,” which according to friends who’d seen it, is absolutely spooktacular.

Mr. W and I bought annual passes again. I’d been against renewing my annual pass since I found out after buying one a few years ago that Mr. W doesn’t ride the rides, but this time the hubby was a trooper as he popped two Dramamine and didn’t complain once. We waited for the fireworks show to start, shivering on the ground in the center circle facing Sleeping Beauty’s castle.

Soon, an announcement came over the loudspeaker that due to the wind condition, the fireworks show may be canceled. Since we’re now in the midst of Santa Ana Winds season, and we know that these winds peak at night, Mr. W and I got up and left. We don’t know if they actually did cancel the fireworks show, but given how much stronger the gusts had become as we walked to the car, it most likely canceled. We’re going to try again tonight after work. I’m dragging Ann along, since she also recently got an annual pass and was instrumental in convincing me that I needed one, too. Fun, fun!
