Disneyland

Wow...life has been really busy. I am SO tired. I don't know where to begin. Let's see...
On Wednesday afternoon Ben Boyd got here. He's fourteen. He knows Todd and Micki and came to stay with them until December 20th. Long time. I took the train to Narita Airport which took two and a half hours, and then I met him, and we took the train back, for another two and half hours. Poor Ben, he got to bed at about 4:00 his time. And he didn't sleep at all on the train.
I was very excited to have taken the train all by myself to the airport, I was proud. :)
The next morning, Ben didn't have a chance to rest and get over his jet lag. No...we dragged him off to Tokyo Disneyland. Some friends of mine went to Tokyo Disneyland about ten years ago, and the whole place shut down because of storms. In fact, the power in the whole city went out. So they wrote to the company and were able to get passports for Tokyo Disneyland if they were ever in the area. Well, since they don't have any future plans to go to Tokyo...they let us have them. YAY! :)
We thought that Thursday would have been the only day that we could go to DLand while I was here, because I was planning to leave on Monday. So...off we went, jet lagged or not.
Disneyland was a blast. We met another family there. They're homeschoolers and they live on the base. There's a sixteen year old, Lindsey, an eleven year old, Paul and a eight year old (I think), Laurel. Hannah and Elizabeth and Jamie came too. Hannah and Elizabeth are sisters, and Jamie is the worship leader at church. Disneyland was like the one in the states...or so I've been told. But, I wouldn't really know, because I've never been to the one in the states.
Anyways, we had a lot of fun. I'll tell more later.
