Parker Favorite Part

For the most part of our trip we stayed in the Howard Johnson Hotel in Aneheim. If it was not for this hotel, we probably would have gone crazy. The rooms were clean, but not luxury by any means, but we would stay there over and over just for the pool. As you can see from the above picture it was a giant pirate ship. From different points of the ship you could shoot water and there were three small waterslides attached that were small enough that we would just send Parker to play and we didn't have to watch him like a hawk. However, the best part of it was the bucket you can see at the top. Every two minutes you would hear a bell start to ding...and as the dings got closer the more quickly children would run to get to their spot before this 500 gallon bucket would tip and drench all that were standing under and or near it. It was so much fun!!

You can see Zoey in the picture here, and Parker is standing just beyond the boy in the black. This is just as the bucket starts to pour.

I know it's not a great picture, but if you can see the little guy just to the left of the girl in pink....that's Parker. He loved getting right in the middle of it.

Zoey was content to walk around the little three foot pool. She didn't want help.....she was going to swim on her own. I absolutly LOVE that she finally fit into her swimsuit...(thanks Lizz W.!!)

And This is Parker just after the bucket drops. He played by the pool one night for almost 5 hours. It was so nice and warm that he didn't want to come in. So if you ever need a great hotel in Disneyland with something to bribe you kids to go back to the hotel...I highly recommend this place!
