Fall Break Day 5: California Adventures

I am convinced that my children have more fun at California Adventures than they do in Disneyland. That might be a bit of an exagerration, but there are some really cool attractions in CA Adventures.

We managed to convince the Jaxen and Ember to go on the Tower of Terror. I had never been, seeing as how the last two times we went I was pregnant. It was nice to be able to enjoy the rides. I really like the switch pass feature, which means I can stand in line, go on the ride with a few kids, and then Shaunton can go on with the some kids afterward without waiting. Who ever thought that up is genius (and probably a parent of multiple children!). Anyway, the ride freaked the kids out. I thought it was fun!

We then hit up A Bug's Life. This section is really geared toward kids of all ages. Kaysen could go on all but one ride in this area, if I remember right. He wasn't too happy about it, but Dad took him on another ride while we went on the bumper cars.

Do I have to? (I think Shaun accidentally poked him in the eye!)
 
 A little nervous to try solo at first, so they went together. Then we had to stand in line again so they could get their own bugs.

Owen had to be accompanied by an adult. So, I was the lucky one! YES!

Our happy family enjoying a Bug's Life ride.


We managed to get a passerby to take our pic in front of a festive setting. Apparently she had taken pics before and had all these tips for good pics! Thanks lady!
The piece de resistance was the Woody 3D ride. We stood in line for that bad boy 3 times. It really is a fun ride, although not long enough. Kaysen enjoyed the ride too...and wasn't ready to leave. Another one of those crying fits!



I don't wanna leave the Woody ride!

My little helper. She wanted to push....even if it was up hill...with two brother in it.

My daughter talked me into going on the swings. I was terrified the whole time. I didn't even want to let my kids go on them. Eek. I don't do heights. There are two rides there that I just can't stomach riding on watching my family ride. It is the swings and the ones that look like rockets. They don't have enough "hold you in" gear for my liking.

I lost my glasses somewhere toward the end of the night. With no sign of them since. (I did get a new pair of prescription sunglasses though! They look nice!)

We ended the night with a lights on the water celebration type thing. It was neat. It had water, lots of color(!) and music. Even some hologram type pictures they could put "on the water".
