Grant and I got to go with his family to California and we had an absolute blast!
Day 1
Grant and I got to go a day earlier then his family got to go. We got to the airport and didn't have to wait long till our flight came. We caught a shuttle to our hotel and it was right across the street from Disneyland!! We so super excited to go so once we got there we dropped everything off at the hotel and headed over there. We got 5 day passes so that we could take our time and do all the rides that we wanted to do... and it was a good thing because it was SO packed! There were so many people and some days we had to wait in line forever for a ride!! Grant and I took it slow and rode the Tower of Terror, The Ferris Wheel (the cage moves on a track back and forth while it is moving, it was super creepy!), and The Swings... only 3 rides in like 5 hours! It was craziness there! We had a yummy dinner and got yummy cold stone for dessert!

Teacups :)
Day 2
Grants family showed up on this day and we moved to a different hotel so that we could stay in a bigger room that had a kitchen in it, and had free breakfast!! My favorite. :) After we finally all got situated we went back to California Adventure. We really wanted Grants 14 year old brother to ride Tower of Terror, and he really didn't want to, but he was a trooper and went anyways. The whole ride his sister Rachel screamed and his little brother absolutely hated the ride! At one point I think he almost cried! Poor boy! We then went to Bugs Life and rode a ride there and watched a 3D movie about bugs that was creepy! I mean it was all cartoon but I am so terrified of bugs and they do things like blow air, and things in your seat that make it feel like bugs are crawling on you! It was super neat! We then went back to Disneyland and rode some really good rides like Pirates, Haunted Mansion, and Splash Mountain. We were then so pooped that we took the shuttle back to the hotel!

Day 3
Today was a super fun day except there were so many people at the park that all the wait times were forever long! I did not want to wait in line for more than a half hour for a ride and all the rides had a 50 minute plus wait time! We ended up doing Space Mountain, Small World, Toon Town, Big Thunder Mountain, and a few others! We also had a really good lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, my favorite! We rested at the hotel for a while after and then headed back to the park! We did some rides and got to watch the fireworks and parts of the shows that they have going on a night! My feet hurt so bad after though, I just wanted to go back. :)
SO FUNNY!
Rachel and I at Small World!
Day 4
We got up at 6 this day to get to the park early so that we could beat the crowd, too bad we didn't get there till 8! But we were there early enough that we got to ride Indian Jones and we didn't have to wait very long! I LOVE this ride! It was so much fun! We also rode Soarin over California, and I really loved this ride also!! I felt like I was really flying over California! And it smelled just like the Orange Patches and the Sea when you were flying over them! We also did the Rapids and I got the most wet!! I was so mad but it was really nice to cool down! Another fun ride we did was Toy Story, except I didn't think it was worth the hour wait in the burning sun! You get to play games in a 3D ride and it even counts your points with the person that you are sitting next too! It was pretty neat! We then got some dinner and headed to The Dodgers Game!!!!! I was so extremely happy for this! I had never been to a major league game and I had so much fun! We had good seats and they won! Grant even bought me a shift and we got free bobble heads!! We had to fit all 4 of us kids in the back seat though for a hour each way! That was not comfortable!
Yay we got shirts!
Day 5
Today was the day that we had to go home! But before we had to we went back to the park and rode Tower of Terror again, and Grants little brother even went on it again and said that he actually liked it knowing what to expect! It was so sweet! We also did Peter Pan and a few of the other little rides! It was super fun! We then ate at the ESPN zone, which was delicious! Unfortunately we had to head to the airport but we had so much fun and we missed our cute little puppy Rudy so we were happy to be back!
