Disneyland - Part 3

 Phew, last post on our trip. This includes the next 3 days we spent in Disneyland, so make sure your seatbeats are secure and enjoy the ride (sorry I couldn't resist).

We spent our 2nd day of Disneyland at California Adventure. Its safe to say this was probably one of the best days of Logan's life. You'll see why coming up.

We were proud of Logan for going on some of the "scary" rides. He loved the swings with Dad (don't let his face fool you. This was before the ride started).



This band found out it was Norah's birthday and sang her a little ballad. She seemed to know they were singing to her and clapped along to the music.

Ok, the reason Logan had the greatest day  . . . Cars Land!

It was absolutely incredible! We were immediately transported into the movie.


Logan and Benj on one of our favorite rides: Cars Raceway. 


We got to see Mater . . .
  and Lightning McQueen himself! Logan spotted him a block away and we ran over to get a picture with him!
We let Logan meet him first.

He cozied up to him like they were old friends. One of the cutest things I've ever seen.



Later we got a glimpse of the Pixar parade. Logan's face says it all.
 Benj about had a heart attack when he ordered this popcorn. Apparently the novelty popcorn is $12!

The ferris wheel and California Screamin' roller coaster.

Riding the Tractor Ride with cousin Chase.

Benj and I had a romantic spin in the tractor too.

Luigi's Tire Ride. Kind of like bumper cars but you steer by leaning. I got quite the workout.

Dancin' in the street with the other kids. After this we watched the World of Color water and light show. Definately a must see!

Day 3 in the park and we met up with our other cousins!


That night we watched the Holiday Parade. The kids LOVED it. 








The pictures are dwindling. Haha. The last day we tried to ride all of our favorite rides again. We also got a picture with Duffy the Bear. Bonus point if you know who he is. I wasn't sure if Logan would like the characters, but he went right up to Duffy and gave him a big hug. Super cute.


On the Raceway ride - you race with another car around the track. Everyone but Norah and I are in this picture. Logan is hard to see - he's in the blue car front.

 We kept putting off meeting Mickey so late that night we went to meet him. Logan was literally asleep when we took this picture! He was so exhausted. Kind of sad because I know he would've loved Mickey.


Another favorite activity that isn't pictured is the Fantasmic Show. It is a character/light/water show. It was so cool and we got a great spot to watch. 

Whew! After a fun week we were ready to head home. 

We had such a fun, memorable trip! I hope the kids remember at least a part of it. I completely fell in love with Disneyland and all its magic. We hope to go back again soon!
