california adventure

day two at the happiest place on earth we spent at california adventure. such a fun place! and we love the cars land....amazing! there was so much to see and so much fun detail. bri loved looking at everything and there were a ton of fun rides there for her to ride. she was in disney heaven....again. :)

headed to our next adventure!

bri loved that ladybug ride....we rode it like 5 times.

bri turned into a little daredevil on the rides and loved to hold her hands in the air. haha.

big smiley girl!

she got so excited when she saw the disney junior sign. mommy and bri stopped here to watch the show to cool off later in the afternoon while the big kids went on big kid rides. she LOVED it!

"we saw pluto again! and pluto have a hat!"

watching mickey dancing :)

cars land was so cool! everything looked so cool!

loved spending the day here!

 just to preface the next few pictures.....we rode the ferris wheel. and my dad is terrified of the ferris wheel. i remember him riding with us one time previously. when i was little he always would say that he had to stay on the ground cause we needed someone to wave too. haha. he hates the "wheel of death" but luckily we had bri with us to convince him to ride and so bobby was able to experience riding the ferris wheel with my dad. it is a memory to be cherished. we even got him to ride on one of the carts that slides on a track. best day ever! haha 

we all squished into one cart so that we could ride together

the other side. this was before the death trap started moving.

the best part about the ferris wheel was that bri LOVED it haha. especially when it swooped. she would crack up and yell "look we up so high!"

heres a comparison of their reactions. so fun! thanks for risking your life for us dad!

waving hi to mickey....she got so excited that mickey waved to her!

waiting for the phineas and ferb show. cheesy grin.

high fiving ferb! so cool!

relaxing in radiator springs

such a fun place!

everyone at california adventure

 while everyone went on the roller coaster and radiator spring racers, bri and i got to relax and watch the disney junior show. bri was really hot and tired by this time so it was the perfect distraction. she loved the show and was so excited to see all her friends!

she was so snuggly in line waiting to see mickey

i couldn't even get a good picture because she was jumping around and clapping so much haha

daddy and bri got to ride on the really fun tire ride. they were flying all over the place!

she thought it was so fun to bang into grandma and dani

it was definitely time for a delicious ice cream break at the cozy cone motel!

we loved those cups! so fun!

bri thought they were really cool too

love the cozy cones! and this kids matching sunglasses

this was another of bris favorite rides. she kept her hands up the whole time and giggled haha. we rode this one a few times too.

one of my new favorite pictures....love these two!

while everyone went on tower of terror again, bri and i hit up her favorite rides one last time. she loved the fishy merry-go-round

one of my favorite rides....can't wait till next time we go so i can ride it!

such a great day with some of our favorite people!

girls in front of the ferris wheel

watching the mad hatter band and rocking out with grandma

at the end of an awesome day we headed back over to disneyland to watch the fireworks and fantasmic. they are so cool and fun to watch. bri liked the fireworks, especially tinkerbell but then she got nervous and snuggled up with daddy on his shoulder. and by the time he handed to her to me so we could walk over to our fantasmic spot, she had finally fell asleep. disneyland totally wiped her out. we started out on main street and she was asleep before we even made it to frontierland haha. and she slept right through the whole fantasmic show! which was kind of a bummer cause she would have loved it. but bobby and i were totally entranced. it is such a cool show and bobby still randomly talks about how he can't wait to see it again. i wonder where bri gets that... haha

watching tinkerbell :)

waiting for the show to start with our sleepy girl

our family on our magical vacation

we had such an amazing vacation! we are so grateful that we were able to take such a fun trip with my family! thank you for taking us and we can't wait until we can all go to disneyland again!!!
