Hey all my Disneyland visiting, Treat grabbing, Toy Story loving, Space flying Peeps! For those of you out of the loop, I have joined the Space Rangers!
Now after the Ranger Academy, I was issued my wings and given my first mission orders. Check out my wing span. Buzz Lightyear's got nothin' on me.
I was going to need a partner on my first mission. Luckily I knew just who to call...
What up Peeps! Now this is a dangerous duo. Halloween villains beware!
Thats right! It's my Cousin Jake. He graduated in the same Academy class and is on the same nap schedule. Couldn't have worked out more perfect.
I was a little worried because it was my first mission, but at least I knew I had good backup.
"You ready Cuz!" We were strapped into our spaceships and ready to launch.
"Uh-oh! Space Ranger Jake, who is going to push these things?"
Yep, he didn't know either. But then... I had an idea!
How could I have not thought of this earlier...
Boom baby!
Got to love the Moms!!!
Oh and Dad would probably be a good idea too.
Now because we were on a mission, they needed to go in disguise. Dad went undercover as Woody the Cowboy.
Not now Daddy-O. Space Ranger business.
Mommy went as Jessie the Cowgirl... Shocker.
And Aunt Lindsay went as Tinker-Bell.
Now, there is also two things you should always do before starting any mission.
Listen closely Jake. This might just keep us up past 8:00 PM. I know, I told you this mission was dangerous.
Anyways, first thing you need to do...
Stretch. You do not want to be pulling a hammie out here.
Just make sure you don't get stuck in an awkward position. Its tight quarters in these spaceships.
Yep. Did it again.
Now how did I get out of this position last time.
If only that Otoodles was a real thing.
Aw here we go. It must be this elastic in my spacesuit that makes this happen every time.
On to thing number two that you should to do to prepare for any mission.
Hydrate.
Keep going...
Keep going...
Boom baby.
"You getting all this still?"
Oh man, might need to add potty break to the check list.
Oh my goodness, I almost forgot!!!
We have to record our activities for the Mission's Log. Thanks Mama.
All this check list stuff is making me tired. We better get going.
Lead on Father.
Stage one of our mission was to ride a very fast tram to our destination.
"Make sure you're hanging on to something Bud."
Now where else would Space Command send 1 year old Space Rangers just out of Space Academy on their first Space Mission?
Bingo.
You guessed it.
Disneyland!
And it wasn't just any ordinary day at Disneyland either.
It was Mickey's Trick-or-Treat Party!
Now its against everything I was taught at Space Academy, but I'm going to let you in on just what our Mission was.
First arrive at Disneyland.
Check.
"Hey Daddy-O, I think its time to stretch the wings."
Wow, much better.
Now stage two... save some Disneyland characters from some Halloween villains.
Uhhh... Don't even know where to begin.
"I don't know Dad-O. I don't know if that is where my radar is pointing."
"Are we sure it is not over there?"
Spotted a clue!
This has got to lead to a Disney Character that needs our help!
I should take this back to Space Command as evidence.
The clue did in fact lead to some Disney Characters in trouble and after an epic battle (not shown here in case of any kids reading this) it was Mickey and Minnie that we saved!
All in a days work. This mission was going to be easier than I thought.
But we were not done yet. After a quick talk to my partner we were off to find some more.
More Characters were saved.
This one looked just like Mommy.
Mommy got a hug cause her hair was better.
All this flying around was making my wings sore, so I jumped back into my spaceship.
We were off again.
Not a minute to spare.
We still had two more Characters to save.
Yep. It was these guys.
With stage one of our mission complete, it was now time for stage two.
Stage two consisted of retrieving "Goodies" and placing them in our package to take back to Space Command for analysis and consumption.
Let's just say...
That the boys back home...
Are going to have plenty of "Goodies" to last them a long time.
All this "Goodie" collecting can make a Space Ranger tired, but we still had stage three of the mission to complete.
Find the Great Pumpkin.
Take as many...
pictures as you can...
and then...
Set off the flares...
And wait for the rescue shuttle to take us home.
Great job Team! Mission Accomplished!
