Disneyland Day 1

We recently took a trip to Disneyland over rodeo days here in Tucson. (Yea, we get time off for rodeo, that's something I didn't even get when I was growing up). I started picking out pictures of us at Disneyland, and quickly realized that all I was picking out was pictures that I will caption "here we are in front of __ attraction" or "here we are with ___ character". I guess that's all we took. But since that's what everyone does at Disneyland, here we go. Day 1 was spent in California Adventure.

So this isn't Disneyland (obviously). It's the snowstorm at our house as we drove away toward Disneyland. 

Here we are opening morning. Adie took the picture.

Second ride. Mater's Junkyard Jamboree. Yet another variation on the "spin around in a circle" ride. If I figure cost per ride as amount of time spent per ride divided into total amount paid, I believe I spent over $1 per person every time we spun in a circle.

We saw lots of characters. Chase loves his Cars characters especially. So, here we are.

Oh, here we are again. 

Adie had very particular taste in rides. She rode Tower of Terror (which surprised us) as well as California Screamin (which also surprised us). She didn't like either one. But she liked the Jumpin Jellyfish. 

For lunch, we went with some friends to a character dining experience called Goofy's Kitchen. It was expensive as well, but considering we were the only ones in that part of the restaurant and we had about 8 characters stop by in an hours time, our kids got plenty of time to see characters they loved. 

Parker loves animals, especially furry bears named Baloo. 

Adie got to go on Soarin with her friend Kenzi.

The boys got ready for riding Autopia on day 2.

Adie much preferred the carousel to California Screamin'.
