The high school had a day off today. I don't know why but that is not the kind of thing we question. Also it was a go day on our passes to Disneyland so go we did. Grace wanted to come. Ethan did not. Great and great. He walked home from school, the first time...ever. It went well. He didn't stop and talk to big bad wolves, he didn't accept candy from strangers and he was able to get in the house and find food and do homework. I am calling this a new milestone reached.
Anyway we got out the door a little later than I wanted, by about 45 min. but made pretty good time getting there. This was largely in part to waze leading through angeles crest forest hwy. We had 2 carsick girls but a quicker trip. (not worth it for the record). Our plan was to get there early, play play play and then leave by 3ish.
The weather was perfect, 85 degrees and sunny. The crowds were light. We rode lots of fun rides. I think I enjoyed the haunted mansion best because it was all redone in "nightmare before Christmas" theme and was really fun and whimsical. I also loved Pirates, Thunder Mountain, Indian Jones and whatever else we rode.
We spent a lot of time in shops looking at the fun things and trying on hats. Something we do not do when we go with the boys.

For lunch we had a great spot at the cafe New Orleans and we had a great lunch. We have a bucket list of Disney food we want to try eventually and we knocked a couple off the list today!

After lunch we went over to California Adventure and saw the Aladin show. It was amazing! Flying carpet and all!
It was hard to leave the park on time because we were having a great time but we made it to the car a little before 4:30, which I thought was awesome. The traffic on the way home was tiresome but what can you do?

Hannah said it was the best day ever! Grace was happy and cheerful. I loved it. The boys did fine foraging for food on their own. And we can't wait to go back again next month!

So fun! Josh and I used to spend a weekend there every month. We'd drive down Friday and spend the evening there, stay all day Saturday, then drive home Sunday morning since we had afternoon church. It was awesome! So glad you had fun. Give Hannah a squeeze. We all miss her!
