Care-Free Disneyland Experience

I was daydreaming today about Disneyland (as I often do) and about how it's all just so care-free when I'm there... and then I realized that it's a care-free experience for ME because my Schmoopie does all the caring for us and I love that about her :)

To *me*, it feels like all I really need is my Wallet and my ticket for admission. But CRYSTAL knows better and she has a backpack loaded with (but not limited to):
  • A miniature pharmacy of Band-aids, Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Advil
  • Two different kinds of sunscreen - spray-on and rub-on
  • A Water Bottle because drinking from water fountains is rarely ever satisfying
  • Spare batteries for her phone and/or the camera
  • Folding rain ponchos, just in case of rain
  • Hooded sweatshirts, just in case of a temperature drop
  • Autograph Book and up to 3 different Sharpie markers
  • Pressed Penny Book
  • A roll of shiny new pennies and a roll of quarters for making new pressed pennies
  • Locking Pinbacks for any pins we may buy/trade
  • Dry socks for after water rides
  • Glow Sticks for after dark because screw paying Disneyland prices for something you can get at the Dollar Store
  • Ziploc Baggies because you never know when you're going to need a Ziploc Baggie
  • Backup pair of Mickey Ears

I'm sure there's other stuff as well that I'm forgetting, but I think you get the point... we are ready for pretty much anything that Disneyland could throw at us thanks to her :)
