Disneyland Day 2 2012

Wednesday we met some friends for a few rides in the morning...and met Aunt Gina too!  

Right about the time we found Gina, rain clouds rolled in!

 We hurried and let the kids ride Indiana Jones...but poor Kyle wanted to ride the rockets by Star Tours...and when he was told to wait...he got mad!  Gina, Alyssa, me and all the kids went on Jungle Cruise while the big guys did Indiana Jones...and Kyle was screaming for a good portion of the ride!  He did calm down, but was grumpy...but was asking if the animals were real...finally was sorta happy at this point, though wouldn't pose for a picture...and moments after this picture was taken, the little elephant in the background squirted water...RIGHT IN KYLE'S FACE!  Oh he was mad!

Trying to get everyone to the right ride with the right adults.

Gina took this super cool picture in Pirates when there was the superimposed image of Davy Jones (I think) over the raining mist...

We also went on Splash Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean with these guys. Poor Anna got Cotton candy and all the big guys kept taking it from her! 

Then it started to rain!  This was just the beginning..

But we mostly carried on!  I was determined to take Kyle on the rockets...he'd wanted to ride it since the day before and kept having to wait for everyone else's things to come first.

So we did...in the rain!  And he stepped in a puddle inside the rocket, soaking his feet...

So then we went to Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln...and got to meet Goofy!  Notice our wet pant and feet!



Kyle sat down and took off his shoes and socks and would not put them back on...so we found some new socks...he was super happy abt them, but he didn't get new dry shoes so he stayed in the stroller or we carried him where he needed to go for the rest of the day!

One of my favorite moments...Gina was taking pictures of us the Walt Statue...and Sean turned around and quietly read his quote on the plaque...which said...

"I think most of all what I want Disneyland to be is a happy place....where parents and children can have fun, together." Walt Disney

Then Sean says out loud, "Well that's a nice comment." 
Then we had a few hours after dinner with no rain, so we headed to Toy Story Mania in CA Adventure.

Oh look!  Kyle put his shoes back on...Toy Story Mania was that important!

We couldn't believe we lasted all day!  But so glad we did and so glad Gina was there with us!  

She kept saying, "Rain at Disneyland is no big deal! It's the happiest place on earth!"

Thanks Gina for a great day!
