Disneyland Day 2

Actually, day 2 wasn't at Disneyland. There is an adjacent park called "California Adventure Park" so we spent day 2 there. It is the same idea, but it is newer and has different attractions. The featured movies are 'A Bug's Life', 'Cars' and 'Elena of Avalor'.

The kids on a ride in Radiator Springs, the 'Cars' area.

Rides at the 'Bug's Life' section.

Then we split again. Esther and I are excited to ride the Zephyr.

Sometimes Baby Jon had to be in his own seatbelt. Which is ridiculous. But, you know, rules are rules.

Pretty views from the Zephyr.

This is a boring picture, but we did this ride several times, and you can't take pictures inside so I was trying to document it. It was a new ride for Ariel the Little Mermaid. You take the clamshells through the story. It was fun.

Trying to get the kids to pose for a picture these days.

Some pictures of the beautiful scenery at Radiator Springs.

Esther and I did that Ferris wheel in one of the swinging, sliding  seats. They would just slide back and forth seemingly at random and then swing up almost vertical when they caught at the end. It was terrifying, but I had to pretend it was super fun so Esther wouldn't be scared. I'm just glad we didn't die.

Notice her Minnie Mouse shirt.
We went to the bathroom and suddenly I heard her crying, she had not quite made it to the toilet, which never happens anymore, but Disneyland is exciting. So I told her not to worry and that we would buy her something new. When I asked someone where the nearest place to buy clothes was, they gave me a coupon for a whole new change of clothes! Socks, underwear, pants and a shirt, it was so nice!

Then Esther and I waited 45 mins in line to see a 'Frozen' play. The play from the day before had been so fun, I decided we had to see the Frozen one. Well this one was a little more serious, and since I had baby Jon with me, I had to stand in the back for the whole show. But Esther got to sit up front and really enjoyed it.

Then we all met up for some rides on the swings. Poor Van was weary and scared of rides at this point, after going on more roller coasters with Andy.  I told him the swings were my favorite and he didn't have to do it, but he could if he wanted to. He did it first with his eyes closed the whole time. After that he was hooked, he did it several more times, eyes open even.

Esther was mostly just mad she had to share a seat and couldn't go on her own.

The kids are up there with Andy. We took turns swinging with them.
