Day three at Disneyland was Gpa's birthday. We started our day by visiting city hall where Dad got a birthday pin and a call on the special phone from Goofy wishing him a happy birthday. We all got celebrate pins to go along with Grandpa's birthday pin. Our ride highlights of the day were Indiana Jones and Space Mountain. Everybody's favorite was Space Mountain, especially Grandpa's. We also went to toon town. Kyleigh loves to stop at all of the shops. She looks at everything and checks all of the prices to see how she can best spend her money. Katelyn also likes to look in the shops, but she goes straight to the candy and starts telling us she is hungry (but not for the granola bars, pretzels, or string cheese that we brought with us). We came back early on Day three and went out to dinner at Outback steakhouse for Gpa's birthday. Our plan was to go back at night, but we decided to go to bed early and get a jump on the next day.
Day four has been the wettest and the most ride productive day yet. We had a schedule for California Adventures but the short lines didn't require a schedule. We got every ride we wanted to get in, most of them more than once. We had two big surprises today. One was Kyleigh's favorite ride of the day, California Screamin. The second was Katelyn's favorite ride, the Tower of Terror. Don't forget that our first day Katelyn almost backed out of Peter Pan because she was scared. Mom thought we were crazy to let them go on those rides. Then she thought our kids were even more crazy because they wanted to do them again. We love Soarin over California, Turtle talk with crush, animation studio (where you learn to draw Disney Characters), and it's a bug's world (3-D video). The group favorite was the 3-D toy story ride. We got to throw pies, darts, and tennis balls at targets, rings on aliens, and break plates. We thought we might want to do that one again, but we didn't want to wait 40+ minutes. It was one of the lines that never relented. Gpa got sick today and went back to the hotel in the afternoon. The rest of us went to the World of Color show. The show was fabulous for what we could see of it. The seating situation leaves a lot to be desired. We could do without all of the record breaking rains, but then we would have to deal with long lines. We came back to our room drenched through and through. It took every space in the room plus a little ingenuity to get our clothes dry (there are only two dryers for guests in the hotel.) It's OK though, because we are in the happiest place on earth!
