California Trip - Day 1

We got home from Utah, spent a couple weeks sweltering in the heat and getting ready for school and then headed off for our annual trip to the beach.  This year, we decided to throw in a day at CA Adventure and a day at Disneyland, but we didn't tell the kids about it!  We pulled in to Anaheim around 9:00 on Tuesday evening and headed right for Downtown Disney.  Kennedy was immediately excited.  Zach and McGuire had been asleep and took a little time to come around to the idea of it all, but were super excited once they woke up a little more. Chloe was beyond ecstatic when we walked into a store and she found the wall of stuffed Disney characters.  At one point, she was carrying around 2 Minnie Mouses' and a Mickey Mouse.

The next day, we took them to California Adventure.  About 25 seconds after we walked through the gate, Zach broke his sandal.  I spent too much time going to every store in that place trying to find him a pair of sandals. They only had crocs - with Mickey Mouse on them - for $35.  By the end of the day, his feet were covered in blisters.  Other than that little mishap, we had a great time!

This is how Chloe watched every show and rode every ride.
