Memorial Day at Disney

We took the girls to Disneyland today because after all, it has been at least a whole month since we've gone!  We do try to go every month before our annual passes expire in September, but it can get pretty busy and hard to find time to go.  We got a pretty good start in the morning and arrived just as California Adventure was opening.  As soon as we got through the gate, we headed to Midway Mania, the Toy Story 3 shooting ride, but everyone and their dog had the same idea.  I had never seen the line that long before!  Well, I figured that if everyone was there, then fewer people were on the other rides, so we went to the Ferris Wheel instead.  We made our way around the park and even tried a few new ones, like Goofy's Sky School and Soarin' Over California; rides that are too "big" for Sophie.  After going to the kids' favorite "Ursula's Cave", we drove to Garden Grove for some authentic Vietnamese food.  I really do still enjoy going to Disney and will be sad when our passes expire.

Lydia took a picture of me and Goofy after checking out his Sky School for the first time.  It was also our first time trying Fast Pass, which is a must!

Amused about catching me off guard and bumping into Sophie and I


The poor lady on the left was so scared of the netting


We were expecting to see a Daddy, not a backpack, come out of the slide


Synchronized sliding


New adventures at the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail


Is it a frog, bear, or iguana?  I meant the statue.  :P


Feeling the animal spirits in the rocks


Rock climbing and representing the girls since they couldn't do it with their open-toed sandals.
