.California Adventure.

We woke up Tuesday morning and went to the local Wal-Mart after breakfast. We decided the night before, it looked like it would work better to get something for us to eat when we got back from the parks at night in our room. We got bread, peanut butter and jelly! The best part was they had a ton of Disney merchandise for a fraction of the park costs! Brynn picked out some Minnie ears and a Minnie purse and made her dollars stretch much further.
We were all pretty excited to go to Disney's California Adventure that day! It was new to everyone, including Josh and I. We went straight to get fast passes to the World of Color show that evening, but soon realized it started fifteen minutes before our last shuttle was scheduled to leave the park. We made some phone calls to make sure, so we were pretty bumbed we'd have to miss out on that one. Next time! We went on the new Little Mermaid ride. Brynn was worried, but soon realized it was fun and liked it. We then did a bunch of ride at the California Boardwalk end of the park. The boys went on the California Screaming roller coaster while Brynn and I rode the carousel. The boys LOVED that ride, I think it was their very favorite of the two parks! We then went to Bug's Life. It was an area geared towards little kids so Brynn loved every ride there. I don't think I saw her smile as big as she did when they rode the bumper cars! We saw the Bug's Life show in the theater with 3D glasses. It was neat with water squirting out and bugs running under your bums. It was pretty intense with spiders that came down from the ceiling, even that scared me a bit. Brynn didn't like the whole experience surprisingly! :)
We then went and waited for the guys to ride the Tower of Terror. They went on in twice since the line was so short. We then went into the backlot studio type place and saw the Muppet's in 3D and rode the Monsters Inc. ride. For lunch that day we shared a turkey leg, yum! We waited in line for Soaring over California for quite a while, probably 40 minutes. Brynn crashed in Josh's arms and he was pretty sore from holding her for so long. The ride was amazing, but borderline for me. It made you pretty motion sick, but I'm glad I went on it.
We went back and did a few more rides again. The kids went on the goofy roller coaster consecutively for probably a half hour, they would get off, run to the front and go again. No lines! I think they went 4 or 5 times! They also went on their favorite the roller coaster again twice. Brynn and I did some shopping and found her a gorgeous little tiara for her to wear with her princess dress at Disneyland the next day! We caught the shuttle, and did our nightly routine of swimming at the pool and pb&j's for dinner.
