day 4 june 12th

This was our 2nd day in Disneyland/California Adventure. We started one of those smashed penny collections, and we were able to finish up the rest of our collector book. It was something fun for us to hunt for in the parks.
Savannah and I went and saw Disney Playhouse Live on Stage. It was interactive, and fun. Jacob and I went on some BIG rides together. One of the rides that Paul refused to go on that Jacob really wanted to ride I went on. I was a little nervous I'll admit...it had throw up splash guard things on the seats. Gross! Why would anyone want to ride this one??! It definitely wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Paul had some time with just Savannah, and seemed to enjoy it. They went and saw Muppets 3D and did some rides. Paul bought everyone a Mickey Mouse icecream...it is a must to make the Disneyland experience complete. =)
I do have to say that I was most fascinated by the Bug's Life area. The rides were clever, and it was not as busy as Disneyland. Savannah and I were able to get on and off rides with no wait. The Bug's Life 3D is a must!!
I really got in to the parades. We went to the Pixar Play Parade, and the Disney Parade of Dreams to end our adventure. This is where we finally met up with Arial after much searching the parks. =)
This was the first night that Savannah didn't sleep through the fireworks. We had a balcony at our hotel so it was nice to not have to fight the crowds.
If you didn't notice Savannah's little sad face in the picture above...she was literally a 1/2 inch too small to go on most rides. She was so upset, and would cry every time they wouldn't let her on a ride. She wanted to do all the big scary rides with the boys. I had to photograph this. Next year when we go she definitely will be big enough (or I'm going to put her in high heels!).
