Disneyland Day 2-California Adventure

Today was California Adventure day.  It rained pretty much all day.  There was even thunder and lightning. It was still a good day and we had alot of fun riding the rides and watching the shows.

The little green army men from Andy's toybox.

Getting ready to go to the Bugs Life movie, "It's Tough to be a Bug"

The Beast's Library at the Animation Pavilion.

Monsters Inc. ride.


The Tower of Terror.  I actually went on the ride!  Only went once though, if I went again, I would loose my lunch!
  
This is the picture that was taken during the ride.

Time to ride the rides in A Bug's Land.


We got DRENCHED.  It was a downpour as we waited in line for Toy Story Mania.  I left the umbrella with the stroller because we thought that we would be waiting inside.  Boy were we wrong!  I was under a ledge trying to keep Emma and myself dry, when some lady behind us started freaking out that we weren't moving forward.  I told her that we were waiting for the line to move so we could stay dry, but she would not wait.  She cut in front of me and Emma.  In order to stay with the family, we had to run up in front of her and stand in the pouring rain.  Some people have no patience or consideration for other people.  This woman could see that I had no jacket or umbrella and that my 3 year old child was with me, but she didn't care.  All she cared about was that she wasn't moving as fast as she thought she should.  Needless to say, it was really nice to get on the ride.

This is the end of our day at California Adventure.  We stopped for a family picture with Mater and Lightning McQueen.  As you can see, I look like a drowned rat! It was tons of fun even though we got rained on and I can't wait for our last day at Disneyland.

I am really glad that my parents were able to come with us on this vacation.  I love spending time with them and I know my kids do to.  Thanks Mom and Dad (Grandma and Grandpa) for joining us.  It has been a great time.

Disneyland Day 1

Waiting for people to come back from the restroom.



The Haunted Mansion...my favorite ride!



Winnie the Pooh's Blustery Day

Jonah got so wet on Splash Mountain, that we had to get him a new shirt and he wore Preston's jacket to try and keep himself warm.

We put a poncho over the stroller to keep Emma dry.

Grandpa took our picture in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle

Alex being himself while waiting for the Snow White ride.

We had a great day at Disneyland.  It was a little wet, but that didn't stop us from riding as many rides as possible.  Can't wait to get back for our second day!!!

Kiss Concert

Last year, Randy went to Las Vegas to see KISS in concert.  This year, we took all the kids (except Emma) to see them at Rio Tinto Stadium.  It was so much fun.  The kids even let us put make-up on them.
Jonah as "The Demon"

Connor as "The Starchild"

Alex as "Space Ace"

The whole gang!


 During the concert, they had this really cool application for your phone called LiveShare.  You can take a picture and then they show a select few up on the stage.  This picture was one of the few that they flashed on stage.  Connor and Jonah thought it was SUPER COOL!!!!




Jonah's Birthday

 Jonah turned 7 on August 15.  I can't believe how fast they grow. 

Happy Birthday Jonah!!

Where to begin?

We have been so busy the last couple of months, I haven't been able to post of all our fun activities.  So here I go, TRYING to catch up.

In July, Randy took his annual Yellowstone trip with the boys.  They went on tons of hikes and had a great time.  I can't really tell you where all the pictures were taken because I didn't go.  All I know is that it the scenery is really pretty.
