We arrived to California on Wednesday afternoon and took the kids to the beach, which is only 25 minutes from Disneyland. They had never been to the beach and thought it was great. Everyone got soaked jumping in the waves. Jimmy did get knocked down by a wave and refused tog o near the water after that, but he still had fun playing in the sand and collecting shells. We headed to our hotel wet, sandy, and happy.
Thursday was our best day at Disneyland and California Adventure because there was no rain. We got to go on everything we wanted to in Disneyland and so were able to head over to California Adventure that afternoon. Jimmy got to get his picture with Lightening McQueen, which was like the coolest thing ever. We all went to bed tired and happy.
Friday we had a constant drizzle all day, but that didn't stop us. We donned our ponchos and still had a blast on all the rides. No big crowds again! We did go to see the "Aladdin" show, which was pretty awesome and entertaining. And we did the Princess Walk thanks to no lines. Anna got her picture taken with three princesses. She was very excited!
Saturday was our last day and it started out with rain, but then cleared up by the time we got to the park. We all had fun hitting our favorite rides one last time. Jimmy and Anna were big fans of the Tower of Terror, which was surprising. Rachel loved Pinocchio and we all loved the new Toy Story Carnival ride and Soarin' Over California. By noon we were ready to head for home.
Darci, our adopted Grandma from our ward, took Jacob while we were on vacation, so it made life so much easier by not having to deal with a baby/toddler. He had a great time being spoiled by her and her husband, but by the end he was wondering when, and if ever, we were coming back. I really missed him too and was very excited to be reunited with him on Saturday night.
Best Disneyland trip ever!

Jimmy and Lightening McQueen. What is cooler than that?
Anna and Princess Tiana. She also got to take pictures with Belle and Ariel. Rachel and Jimmy were too shy.
Rain can't stop us from having fun!
