Vacation Day 2

Thursday was the first of our three days at Disneyland and California Adventure.  The kids woke up at 5am (still on Oklahoma time) ready to go.  We held them off as long as we could.
Waiting for the shuttle.

We are at the happiest place on earth!  The girls were so excited.

We lucked out and saw Mickey right when we got into the park.

First glance of the princess castle.

The cousin twins.  They were quite a pair together.

One of our first rides was Dumbo.  This was a favorite of the girls.  Here are Grandma and Hadley.

Next up was a train and we were in the car that said "Monkeys".  I thought that was appropriate.

Another favorite of all the girls were the teacups.  I think we rode these 5 or 6 times.  Good thing the first day we had almost no lines.

Sophia and Jessica having fun in Bugs Life.

Jillian and Mommy

Time for some bumper cars.

The next characters we saw were Minnie and Pluto.  Jillian wasn't too sure about Minnie or Pluto and decided to stay back.

Daddy and Hadley on the Mickey Ferris Wheel in California Adventure.

Jillian had to hold me tight because I am not a fan of ferris wheels.

We were only at the park about 8 hours on Thursday.  We wanted to take it easy because the next day was going to be a busy one.  We headed back to the hotel for manicures by Auntie Jessica.  In Hadley's words, "Mom, Auntie Jessica does it better than you."  I have said it before if we lived in the same town I am sure Hadley would be asking to live with her twin Auntie Jessica.  They are two peas in a pod.  You should see them shopping :)

Sophia was not to sure about getting her fingernails painted.  Right after this she was crying and Jessica had to clean them off.

 

 After this the girls and parents were tired.  We called it a night and headed to bed.  Next up Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and lunch with the princesses.
