What a day we had! We got up super early, packed up and headed to Disneyland- rain gear close at hand. We were giddy with excitement as we arrived! We had just walked into the park when is started raining lightly, no worries- we were prepared! On came the ponchos! Then- we were in Heaven, walking right onto the rides! We had a wonderful morning thinking being in the rain was actually great, we were all staying comfortable with our rain gear and absolutely loving having no lines to wait in!

Madi LOVED meeting the princesses! (and we loved it too as we did not have to wait in line for 2 hours to meet them)


After lunch, the rain really started coming down! It was POURING! We decide to head to the hotel (Kenny and Erin were smart to get us hotel rooms for the one night) to get dry, and got completely SOAKED just walking out of the park!
Shortly after getting everyone into dry clothes, the rain cleared up, and I went to work blow drying all of our shoes. The evening was perfect! The rain had cleared the park and we were so happy to be back in dry clothes.

We love the Monsters Inc. ride and because there was absolutely no one else around they let us go again! It was great! We caught a few rides in "Bugs Land" and then headed off to find the "Toy Story" ride, which was new to all of us.

Pierce & Ellie all ready for Toy Story

Madi & Addie
The Toy Story ride is for sure my new favorite! Pierce LOVED it, more than the Buzz Lightyear ride, which says a lot! I couldn't believe we hadn't know about it before. For sure the cutest thing and a must for anyone heading to California Adventure.

Rain and all,it was a magical day for all of us!
