The Day Before We Left California

We just chilled and stayed at the hotel the day prior to our departure. So we took advantage of the hotel pool.


Emma's 1st time in a pool. She looked like she knew what she was doing, huh?


Checking out what the other girl was doing.


It was kind of chilly that day so we got out of the pool after only 30 minutes.


Family picture.

We were on line waiting to get in to the Cafe Coyote in Old Town, San Diego where they serve homemade tortillas.




Still waiting for a table inside or under the heat lamp since it was in the 40s.

Californian Adventure

We walked in the park at 1000 when they opened and these 2 ladies were giving away FastPass for the both parks! We only had time to do the Aventure park so we gave away the Disneyland FastPass.


The 1st ride of the day was a water ride that daddy and Matthew got on. They were both drenched.

Disneyland

We finally arrived at Disneyland at around noon so the sun was overhead.


We were put in the baby jail.

I know what KT, Winnie and Sam would say but this is NOT me!!!

The very first time we've ever seen her wave.


We all went on this Roger Rabbit Cartoon Spin ride. Chevo and Matthew were in one car and Emma, Carmen and I are in the other so we tried to take picture of one another.


We checked out the Princesses show and at the end the paper ribbons were flying everywhere.
