A Day At California Adventure and Disneyland!

Last Monday I was fortunate enough to get to go to Disneyland and California Adventure with my mom, one of my brothers, and my sister. It was so much fun! We took some pretty goofy pictures so of course I needed to blog about it!

I don't normally wear my sweaters like this, people. :) This is us standing in the LONG line to get into CA Adventure. I love the palm trees!

This is much more normal looking. Except my moms arm, haha!

It had been a couple years since I'd been to either park so I was excited to see Cars Land. It was cute and the ride was so fun! Racing cars, yes please!

Here we are waiting in line.

And this is me in the bottom left and my sister with her arms up behind me, haha! I was holding my hair because I totally forgot to bring a hair tie!

Another first for me was we went to see the Aladdin show. It's been there for years but I had never taken the time to go to it. It was good but not GREAT. They had some good singing and jokes. The most interesting thing to me was hearing about how they used to do a magic carpet ride where Aladdin and Jasmine "float" above the audience on a "carpet" but they don't do that anymore because one time a chord came undone and they were just hanging there screaming for help until someone could get them down. It would have been a really bad fall because it was a huge theater!

We also went on California Screamin' (that I have been on plenty of times so I knew when they were going to take a picture)...

And then we went on Tower of Terror. I legit hate heights and the falling sensation so I don't particularly enjoy this one...we are in the back row. I think my mom and brother were pretending my other brother slipped out of his seat next to them.

After CA Adventure I was already itching to get back to Emily but we did go to D-land and have some ice cream on Main Street and then go on the Buzz Lightyear ride. 

It's always so fun to go to Disneyland/CA Adventure. I have SO many memories there, including the last time I went with friends (just about a month before I got pregnant!) and, more importantly, when Michael proposed. :)

Thank you to my brother and mom for taking me!! I had such a good time!! I'm so glad Kristin got to come too!! :)
