My brother Spencer drove us to the airport on Sunday the 6th and we flew down. That in and of itself was an experience for the girls.
Here is Shane and the girls in front of the castle.
Inside the castle they have a little area where they play Sleeping Beauty. Delphia got up on the bench and didn't want to go anywhere else. She told us she wanted to sit there and watch Sleeping Beauty. We were trying to talk her out of it when the movie ended. Luckily she went with it and agreed that the movie was over.
We took her on the carousel and she chose this white horse. I knew from the time we got on the carousel that it wouldn't be the last time we rode it!
Josie was out by this point, she had a rough night the night before getting used to a new place. Thank goodness my sister let us borrow her Bjorn, it was a lifesaver. josie would just nap when she needed to and she was content in it even when she was awake for the most part.
Delphia having fun walking on the rocks while waiting in line for Peter Pan. One thing that frove us crazy was the chains on all the lines. Delphia kept seinging them and got hit in the face a couple times and was hitting people while she would swing them. This got a whole lot better after the first day. I think she realized how things worked and could deal with it better.
We saw Mickey on Main Street and so we went over to get a picture with him. I think this was the one character that Delphia was most excited to meet.
We also had to get a picture with Pluto. After we got the picture with Delphia, Josie was reaching for him and so Shane took her closer and Josie screamed. She apparently doesn't like dogs, because the rest of the characters we met she was fine with.
We then decided to head over to California Adventure. We headed over to the Monsters Inc. ride, which is a favorite movie of Delphia's. (In fact, she has a nickname for Shane from that movie. She calls Shane Sully and insists that he call her Boo. She always says, "I love you Kitty! and if he says, "I love you too Delphia" she says, "My name isn't Delphia, it's Boo!"
We saw Sully getting pictures taken and you should have seen her face light up! These are probably some of my favorite pictures, because you can just see in her face how much she adores him!
Pictures in front of the Monster Inc. building...
Then it was off the A Bugs Life. Shane insisted that she would be scared, but I honestly couldn't remember anything that would scare her. She was fine until the spiders came down from the ceiling and then she was traumatized! She screamed her high pitched scream, covered her eyes and kept screaming. We had to explain to her that they weren't real.
If you ask her what her favorite ride was, she will tell you the Buzz Lightyear ride and then she will tell you that she didn't like the bug one with the spiders.
Later in the week we went on the Muppet 3D ride and when the bubbles started coming down from the ceiling she looked up with a look of horrow because she thought they were spiders. I quickly explained that they were bubbles and she was fine after that. But, she did not want to go on A Bug Life again!
That evening we just stayed in California Adventure and rode the little big rides in the Bug's Life area and headed back to the hotel, or as Delphia called it all week, the "Pocatel." Shane and I laughed every time she said it and kept trying to tell her it was a hotel. She kept insisting that she couldn't say that, she could just say, "Pocatel!"
