Here are some more fun snapshots from our trip...

Ready to go and waiting to get into California Adventures.

Ava having a scone for breakfast while we wait to get it.  check out her cute Minnie Mouse outfit.  I made the shirt, skirt, and headband.

Sharing the first of many churros.  WE LOVE CHURROS!

In front of Small World.  The lights just came on.  It was beautiful.

Squeezing on the Dumbo ride.

I love this picture.  My dad's expression is priceless.

Mickey Mouse pretzels are another one of our favorite treats.

Ava with Papa & Nonna on the Main Street Fire Dept. car.  It was a fun ride, but a little scary with all the people walking around.

We are headed down Main Street and Ava is blowing bubbles.

Disneyland ~ Rides

One of our family's favorite ride is Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters.  This was the first time Ava went on the ride and she loved it.  She rode many times and took turns riding with each one of us.

One morning Rich was ranked #1 for about 10 minutes.  He was pretty excited.  Even though the score is on my side Rich is the one ranked #1.

Ava rode with Papa over and over while the rest of us went on Star Tours.

This was the first time any of us went on the Radiator Springs Racers.  We didn't think it would be scary, but it freaked Ava out.  There is a part (from the movie) where the big Mama tractor comes at the car angry for tipping over the baby tractors.  Ava was not ready for it and it ruined the rest of the ride.  If you look closely in this picture she is crying.  The rest of us enjoyed the ride, but we did not go on it again.  The line was too long and Ava refused to go on it again.  Poor thing!

This picture is terrible, but it is the only one we got in front of Ava's favorite ride.  It was really bright and my mom is not the best picture taker.

Waiting to get on the Luigi Tires ride.

Ava and I on the roller coaster in Toon Town.

Nonna Carole was the only one that would go on the spinning ladybugs with Ava.  Ava loves this ride, but it makes us all sick.

Rich on the Tuck & Roll bumper cars.

Ava getting ready to go on the rapids ride for the first time.

Ava loved the ride and wanted to go again.  She and my dad were smart and wore the ponchos.  My mom didn't and got soaked.

Ava with Papa & Nonna on the Giant Mickey Ferris Wheel.

On the Giant Ferris Wheel.

Not only did we ride the Ferris Wheel we got a show thanks to Ava.  She sang songs to us during the ride.  It was very entertaining.

Disneyland ~ Characters

Ava was excited to see Lighting McQueen until he revved his engine and freaked her out.  That is why Rich is in the picture with her.

Ava was excited to meet Winnie the Pooh because we have been reading the book.

I love this picture because she is rubbing noses with Winnie the Pooh.  That is something we have been doing since she was little.

We were both excited to see Woody.  Toy Story is one of my favorites and use to be Ava's favorite.

Merida was the nicest of all the princesses.  She spent a lot of time with each girl.  She asked them questions and made each one feel special.

This is as close to Anna & Elsa Ava got.  They are inside that house, but we didn't wait in the 3 hour line to meet them.  Ava did get to say hello to Olaf who is on top of the roof.

Rich had to follow this storm trooper around to get a picture with him.
