Day 3... California Adventures and some...

Now on to Day 2. Thank goodness for Continental Breakfast so we can eat and run!!


Cousin Jaromy taking Puppy Ethan for a walk before we head to Disneyland.

Picture of the darling kids before we go.

So we decided to head to California Adventures today and see what's happening over there. The first ride we hit was the Soaring over California. I LOVE THIS RIDE!!!! Luckily I chose Ethan taller shoes because he barely made it on this ride. He was quite nervous when the ride first started but I reminded him that it was fake and we weren't really outside. That seamed to help. After he wanted to go all the time.

Here is Ethan excited for the ride.

Vance and a cool airplane.

Oops Ethan fell!!! hehe

Here we are waiting to go in a watch a 3D movie of the Bugs Life. It was really cute.

Water, Need I say more.


Ethan and Vance on the bumper cars.

Big driver.

Ladybug Ride.

He cracks me up!!

Goof ball!


And I wonder where he gets it from...

Chad, Tyler and Valerie doing the waiting game.

He got soaked. Oh well it was hot and it dried pretty fast.

I don't think he is having ANY fun!!!

Here is main street in California Adventures. Valerie and Tyler leading the pack.


So there is this ride called the Tower of Terror. I thought it was like a haunted house. Well Ethan barely makes it on the ride and walking through it it's pretty scary. Ethan can barely hack it and does this the whole time. Vance even turned around to take him out but he insisted he wanted to stay with us. Well come to find out it's an elevator that takes you to the top really fast and drops you super fast and does this three or four times!!! It was SOO Scary Ethan couldn't even cry, but as soon as it was over he just broke into tears. I felt SOOO bad. Needless to say we won't do that again!!!

Vance and Ethan in front of the bad ride. He doesn't look too happy.

Time to give puppy Aidan a walk!!

"Mirror Mirror on the Wall who is the cutest group of ladies of them all?" :) WE are!!!

These were really cute. You sit in a chair and answer questions on this book and based on a picture and your answers to the questions it figures what Disney character you are.

Teri and Gracie having a crack at it.

Marilyn having her turn.

Emily and Valerie while Ethan looks from a distance.

Jaromy and Daniel

Poor Gracie is not having it. Not in the taking picture moment!!!

They had big TV's with movies playing and as you can see they are all sucked into them!!

Hehe This is cute. Katie is like what is going on.


Big car!!!

I just thought this was a really cool looking statue of Mickey.

After that we decided to head back to Disneyland and do some more fun things.


Here we are on Storybook Land heading into the Whale!

Ethan and his Snake face paint. I love the look on his face.

Gracie, Emily and Ethan all showing off.

Yes Teri and I both got them as well. It was fun!! Thank you Marilyn

Than we met up with Vance's old mission companion who lives in LA. We met them in Disney Downtown where there are all kinds of shops and food places. On the way to eat we stumbled across a Lego store. Vance was in Heaven.


Vance and Darth Vader.

At the end of the night we snagged a few souvenirs. My two children!!!


I LOVE this picture of them both burnt out and all ragged looking.

Day 3 I have to tell you was a bit harder than day 2. The kids were a little harder to deal with and it was hotter, but we still had a TON of fun. YEAH for DisneyLand.
