Day Three--California Adventure

We were up bright and early again!!! 6:30 am...I'm getting tired. We got in the park and B-lined it straight to Nemo.. The line was only 30 minutes long...how did we luck out? The girls loved it!! It was definitely worth the wait.
After that we headed to buzz lightyear!! The girls had a blast...Karli even had a blast shooting the gun. I think this was her favorite ride!!

Then we continued our adventure in Tomorrowland at Innoventions!!! The things of the future!! There was a dining room table in there that looked and felt like a river and the girls could touch it and make it ripple. Then we went into a room where a girl told them a bedtime story of Peter Pan. The even got to take part in the story by shooting at the pirates with the canon. And Dad got to look for Tinkerbell.

Our last stop in Tomorrowland was the monorail. We got to sit in the very back with the glass all around us. The girls had a great view of the park from here.

Then off we went to California Adventure to Ariel's Grotto to have lunch with the Princesses. Makena's was looking forward to this the whole day!!! The meal was awesome and we got to meet 5 Princesses. Of course there was Ariel, Snow White, Princess Aurora (Makena's favorite), Cinderella (Dad's favorite), and Pocahontas (Lexi's favorite). The came to our table and talked with the girls, signed all their books, and we got a photo of each one. Wow, what fun!!!


Makena couldn't leave without a hug from her favorite pink Princess!




Then we went and met Mater and Lightening McQueen!!! 6 thumbs up!!!

We continued our adventure in "It's a bugs life". The little ones loved it here. They could all go on all the rides and we only had to wait 5 minutes at the most. They thought it was fun to feel like a small little bug.


Poor Makena says "it's tough being a bug"!! We went to the 3-D film and Makena did not like it one bit. Neither did Lexi for that matter. There was stuff landing on us, poking us, and spiders dropping from the ceiling. I even got stung by a bee. My favorite part was the end when you felt a bug roll under your bum in the seat. It was great!!!We got to see two parades that day!!! The Pixar parade which was the girls favorite!! The got to do more interacting with the characters and we were on the front row. The one thing I think they will remember most about the parade was we were sitting right under a bubble machine. So throughout the whole parade we had bubbles falling on us. We also got to see the Electric light parade that was fun too... Karli was so tired..she crashed for about two hours before the parade..But we woke her up to see all the fun lights.



This was a great day!!! There were not that many people and we got to take off our jackets and enjoy the warm weather. Some of our favorite rides were Nemo, Flying over California, and Toy Story Mania.
