Cali pics con't. Day 2 Part 2

 

After an afternoon swim at the hotel and a nice relaxing afternoon we headed back to the parks for the evening.  We decided to let the heat and the crowds die down a bit and it helped....a wee bit anyways.

 

First up was the new Star Tours v2.0.  It was so cool!  The ride is 3D now and there are 3 different beginnings, 3 middles and 3 ends so each time you go its slightly different.  Well not everytime, but most times.....eventually you'll repeat but we never did.

 

Its a small world after all, its a small world after all.....

 

 

Hippo!!!!!!

 

Emily pretending to be scared on Winnie The Pooh.....its a long story.....

 

Time for a Tigger Tail!  Marshmallows dipped in caramel then in chocolate then in orange sugar.  Basically a diabetic coma on a stick!  lol!

 

Jungle Cruise.....saw the backside of water!  Love that the joke still lives on after all these years.

 

Matterhorn! 

 

 

Headed over to California Adventure and went Soaring Over California!  Wheeeeeee.....

 

 

California Day Two Pics - Part 1

Day 2 of our holiday was the first day to hit the parks!  Woohoo!  Thankfully I had gotten a bit more sleep then the night before because another night of 45 mins of sleep just wasn't going to cut it.  

 

Here are the girls just getting onto Main Street for the first time!  

Yes, Maddy wore a tiara most of the trip.  

 

Obligatory castle shot

 

Peter Pan!  Woohoo!  I can fly, I can fly, I can fly!

 

Time to fly an elephant - Dumbo! 

 

Maddy and I in our Dumbo

 

After a trip around Fantasyland it was off to Tomorrowland or more like Standaroundland.  Star Tours V2.0 opened the week before we got there and there was a serious traffic problem in all of Tomorrowland.  Seriously.  Too many people!  

 

Anyways, Space Mountain here we come!

 

Different Castle shot!

 

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!

 

The super secret Club 33.  I think its easier to get into the White House then it is to get into this place!

 

The girls trying to sneak in!  Not really but still fun to pretend

 

Haunted Mansion.  Spooky.  Or not really.  

 

Awwwww......my girlies

 

Churro time!

 

Churro time for her too

 

Back seat of Big Thunder Mountain Railway! Whheeeeeeee!!!!!

 

 

 

Shoes

 

Maddy's first time on a ride by herself

 

The Little Mermaid ride opened the week before we got there too.  Loved it!  All the little details Disney does so well like these on the poles of the line up.

 

Almost our turn for our Voyage Under the Sea

 

California Adventure

 

After this we went back to the hotel for a swim and a rest. 

 

More pics to come shortly!

Yes, I'm Still Alive

I disappeared again.

 

But I'm back!  

 

I was away for a bit with the girls in California.

 

Then I decided to get into yet another car accident.

 

Well I didn't decide on that one but the guy behind me thought it would be a good idea so he went for it.  *sigh*

 

Anyways.....my chickies and I had an amazing trip to Cali to play in the sun since we weren't getting any here.

 

Summer?  Are you out there somewhere?  Come out and play with us....we'd really like that.  Please? 

 

How about some California pics?  Okay!

 

Here they come!

Is it just me or does our hotel resemble Tower Of Terror?

 

 

 

 

 

Mommy's happy place.....
