Disneyland Day Two, California Adventure

California Adventure wasn't AS geared toward little kids as Disneyland, but they did have tons to do for the whole family, no surprise. I would say Ava's favorite ride was "Soarin' Over California". It was a 3D adventure that twisted and turned as if we were, well, flying over Cali. Some of the other rides that we rode seemed like nothing, but were really high and fast. She did great! She wanted to ride a miniature roller coaster, but was one inch shy of meeting the height requirement. We met many characters and had a ball the second day.

For lunch, we dined with the princesses at "Ariel's Grotto". It was so neat that each princess came up to our table to chat with Ava and Griffin. It was very personal, good food, and worth the extra money. This was also something that not just Ava enjoyed, but Griffin also. He LOVES Belle out of all Ava's princess figurines, so when he saw her he turned on his charm! He is SUCH a flirt and seriously planted a slobbery kiss right on her. She was a good sport and laughed it off, but we were dying laughing at him.


















Getting to see "Steamboat Willy" was a highlight for Ava. Seriously.








This park had a lot of adult rides, so we had our fun too! We traded the kids off and they enjoyed shows, smaller rides and cotton candy or naps in the stroller (Griff). Ryan and I loved the Tower of Terror and the roller coaster (?)















The Toy Story Gang was a huge success for Ava and Griffin alike. Ava wanted to pose like Buzz Lightyear for our picture with him, haha. She was so thrilled to meet them! And Griffers, well, he was just in awe and so happy to be giving them high fives.











We rode rides, met more characters and saw many shows also.
