Both Parks 4.3.13

On our last day, we decided to split our time between both parks and hit stuff that either we didn't see the first time around or loved so much we wanted to do again.  Mike decided to sleep in a bit, but Logan and I were up and waiting for California Adventure to open at 8am.  They actually let us all in before the park really opened and had us all corralled in the main square and then over the speaker system they counted down from 10 before they opened everything up!  It was the best way to begin our last day.  So, Logan and I headed straight for Toy Story Midway Mania! and then to Games of the Boardwalk.  Then we met Mike at Grizzly River Run because we all wanted to go on that ride again.  This time I even braved bringing my camera on board to try to snap some pictures and it totally worked. :o)  After that we went back to the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail and Logan completed all his quests and earned all his badges.  Then we went to Soarin' Over California, which was totally cool.  Next up was Turtle Talk with Crush and Logan actually got called on to ask a question and Crush gave him his surfer name, Lagoona Logan!  It was so cute.  As we were leaving Turtle Talk we ran into Mr. Incredible, Jake, and Chip and Dale.  It was a character jackpot!  At that point we decided to leave California Adventure and head over to Disneyland.  First on the agenda, ride the Disneyland Railroad.  We went all around the park and then when they dropped us back off at Main Street we met Mickey!!  Then we went to the Carnation Cafe for lunch and realized that Mickey's Soundsational Parade was about to start.  So we found a spot in the shade to watch the parade and got some ice cream at the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor.  After the parade we did the Jungle Cruise then Mike decided to go do some shopping and head back to the hotel for a bit before dinner while Logan and I did Sleeping Beauty's Castle, Snow White's Scary Adventures, the Sword in the Stone, and "it's a small world".  Then we too did a fair amount of shopping, met Mike at the store, and headed off to the Disneyland Hotel for our Dinner at Goofy's Kitchen.  At dinner we met Goofy, Minnie, Chip, Dale, Pluto, Mulan, and Aladdin.  Then it was back to the hotel after a long, but wonderful last day!  I feel like we absolutely soaked up every ounce of both parks that we could in our three days, but I'm already trying to figure out when we can go back!!!

Logan and I ready for some 3D fun on Toy Story Mania...as we were waiting in line they announced that there was a problem with the ride and it was going to shut down for a bit and they said we could stay or go.  Logan and I decided to stay and I'm glad we did because it wasn't shut down for long and quite a few people left so we got to get on the ride that much sooner!!

 Logan's horse that he won in the racing game we played!

 Mike and Logan ready to tackle Grizzly River Run again!  We all loved this ride!!

 The landscape around the Redwood Creek Challenge was just awesome.  It felt like you were in an actual forest.

 I love this shot because it looks like we were the only people there...how cool would that have been!

 Chip and Dale were so darn adorable and Logan had so much fun meeting them!

 Mickey Mouse!!!

 Logan, Walt, and Mickey...this statue with the castle in the background is all I picture about Disneyland.

You can do it Logan!  You can do it!
