California Adventure on a Hot Summer Day!

I took the children to California Adventure on Thursday, July 16. Could we have picked a hotter day to go there? I don't think so!! (Well, at least it wasn't 100 degrees!)

Blake after he cooled his jets in the water park by Bugs Land. He actually came over to ask me, "Mommy, do you have my towel?" Towel??? When I informed him he could "air dry" himself, he was shocked that I had not properly prepared for his water playtime!!

When you tell Brent, "You can run through the sprinklers to cool off a bit," he immediately interprets that to mean, "You can get soaking wet by standing in front of every water spout and standing under the water buckets." Not a single inch of him was dry after his 3 minutes of "cooling off" time!

Brent was so excited to finally be tall enough to ride "the airplane ride" - Soarin' Over California. He actually behaved half-good in line, which means he didn't annoy EVER person standing around us, just half of them! As we stood inside the hanger, I enjoyed reading the biographical notes of famous California aviators and astronauts. Brent loved looking at all the airplane photos. He keeps asking when will we take him on an airplane ride again! He absolutely LOVED dangling over the skies as we flew across the incredible iMax presentation of California's beautiful geography. The children were most excited to fly right over Yosemite Falls and point to the Yosemite Lodge where we have often stayed!

Leaving Disneyland we rode up the 5-story tall escalator all by ourselves. This of course gave the kids every opportunity to run up and down the moving stairs....up and down....up and down....up and down....up and down....

Hard to beat living near Disneyland!
