SURPRISE! GG and Gpa surprised me and the girls this morning. They showed up at Disneyland. The original plan was to meet them here but they told us they couldn't come. Of course we were very dissapointed. Rusty has known for awhile. Rusty told me to answer the door when someone knocked on our hotel room. I was still in bed so I told him he needed to get it. Then Mom and Dad walked in. YEAH!!! I was so excited. My mom had told me before that Dad was the one who didn't really want to go to Disneyland. He has never been. I spent the whole first day thinking how much he would love it. After one day he is a new fan. How could you not be?
We got rained out in the morning. Before the rain started we walked on to Pirates of the Caribean (Mom and Dad's first ride and what a ride it is!), the haunted mansion, winnie the pooh ride, and splash mountain. We also got our first character pictures with Pooh, Eyore, and Tigger. Then it started raining and never stopped. Our timing wasn't the best. We went on splash mountain just before it started to rain and Katelyn got soaked. We bought rain gear and tried to continue on but we were already wet so the cold seeped in and got to the kids. We headed back in the early afternoon to regroup. We warmed up, dryed our clothes, took naps, ate lunch, geared up in lots of layers and rain gear, and went back to the park at about 5:00. It was extremely rainy and pretty cold but the kids were troopers and their toughness paid off big. We pretty much walked onto every ride in tomorrowland, except space mountain (which we got fast passes for). We even waited less than 10 minutes for finding nemo. We rode astroblasters (toy story ride where you have guns to shoot the targets and get points) three times and didn't wait for any of them. We finished the night with it's a small world and Kyleigh fell asleep in the middle of the ride. Now that is tired. By the time we got back to the hotel we were soaked, tired, and happy. We are now well rested and ready for day 3!
