Disneyland and California Adventure Park

The kids are out of school for Fall break so we headed to California!  The first ride of the day was the tram from the parking structure to the entrance of the park.  We got there bright and early! We got 2 day park hopper tickets so we could enjoy both parks.  We had never been to California Adventure Park and were excited to explore.  Tuesday morning turned out to be overcast and rained part of the morning so we did get wet but it scared away a lot of the crowds.


 Yeah!  We have arrived at Disneyland!  I made mickey mouse tie dye shirts for the family, it was quite the project but they turned out cute!
 Disneyland was all decorated for Halloween!
 Here we are waiting in line for the Matterhorn Bobsleds, even Alydia got to do this ride and she loved it!
 Look at those cuties!  I love the blue eyes!
 Here is the castle in the morning when it was raining, everyone was walking around with Disneyland ponchos but we survived without them and saved a lot of money.
 The Thunder Mountain railroad was Allden's favorite ride.  It was only a 10 minute wait so we did it a couple times.

 Here we are eating our lunch on the Mark Twain Riverboat.
 
 Alydia's favorite ride was the Winnie the Pooh ride I think she went on it a least 6 times!  She was excited to see the "real" winnie the Pooh and Tigger too!

 Here is the castle in the afternoon when the sun came out!  Yeah!
 Anden did so good and was happy all day!
 We didn't want to wait an hour to see Tinkerbell but we did peek through and snuck a picture anyways for Alydia.
 We walked over to California Adventure Park around 4 and the first ride we did was the Grizzly River Run!  Big Mistake!  The ride was fun but we all got completely soaked!  I didn't have dry clothes or Poncho's so we were cold for a little while.

 We got unicorn pops for everyone to keep us going a little longer.
 We went to Bugs world and saw the 3D movie "It's Tough to be a Bug" it was pretty entertaining and they had spiders coming down from the ceiling and stingers sticking out into your back and stink bugs smelling.  We had fun with our bug eye glasses!

The last ride of the day was the Tower of Terror.  We got lucky someone gave us fastpasses.  Brett, Ingeborg and Adalynn went first while I waited out with the other kids then Ingeborg went again with me.  It was the most intense ride and it felt like your stomach went to your head.  It was quite the rush!  What an amazing and fun day!
