Our Trip - Day 4

Well Day four was our last full day in California. Thursday we packed up and flew home, so I won't blog about that, but Wednesday was a full day so I will tell you all about that.

We started off early once again, but the California Adventure park did not open until 10 a.m.. We could have gotten to Disneyland at 7 and then headed over to California Adventure at 10, but we wanted a little bit of leisure also. So we got to California Adventure at 9:30, and they let us in early even though none of the rides had started. We headed straight to get fast passes for that nights show, World of Color. It was a very good decision because we loved that show and it was one of our favorite things on the trip.

Next we joined the hundreds of other people waiting in line for the Toy Story ride. At this point the park had not even officially opened yet. Even though we were some of the first in line, we still waited for over 20 minutes. It was worth it though, Brady loves all things Toy Story, and this ride was fun. It was almost exactly like a Wii game we once borrowed from the library.

After the ride we met Woody and some of the Toy Story soldiers. 

Next we walked around some and saw a neat 4d movie from It's a Bugs Life. Very cool.

We talked with Crush the Turtle from Finding Nemo, and at this point Brady fell asleep. Jeremy and I had a quiet lunch while Brady slept, and we headed back to the hotel for a nap.

After Brady's nap in the stroller, we could not get him to go back asleep, so we tried to rest until we headed back to the park. Brady loved all of the bus rides we took. On this one we were the only ones on the bus, so Brady was a little crazy.

We felt that we had seen quite a bit at California Adventure that we could all ride, so we went back to the Disneyland Park to ride some rides we knew did not have long lines. We chose the Jungle Cruise ride, which I think is one of the original rides.

It was so nice that the Disneyland and California Adventure parks were so close to one another so we walked back to California Adventure to see some more things.

They had an area for climbing, which we played on. There were some things that Brady could not do that he was disappointed about, but I made a big deal about measuring him, and showing him he was tall enough to other things. He enjoyed going on the big boy things.

After walking around a bit more we got Brady something to eat since we knew we were going to eat a late dinner. I love how Disney has a lot of good healthy snack choices like fresh fruit and veggies. Thanks to our fast passes we got great seats to the World of Color Show. Pictures would not have done it justice, but it was awesome. 

After World of Color, we walked to Downtown Disney to have dinner at Rainforest Cafe. We really wanted Brady to see the restaurant, but of course he fell asleep on the way there, and we could not get him to wake up. After a expensive, not very good dinner, I did a little more shopping and we headed back to the hotel.
The next morning we woke up and were all sad to get ready to leave. Brady never got to say good bye to Disney because he fell asleep, so that morning he was very sad that he would not be going back. Thankfully the plane ride home was uneventful, but a little sad.
It was an amazing and memorable vacation. We are already looking forward to going back once the baby is older. We all had a great time, and I cannot think of much better than a vacation with my wonderful family. So blessed!
