Take Me For a Ride

We had big temperatures (110 degrees) but small lines during our week at Disneyland and California Adventure. Evidently, after a summer of unusually cool temps, we arrived in So Cal just in time for a record-breaking heat wave. These four were too busy running from ride to ride and paid no heed to the sweat running down their faces. Mom and Dad tried to keep up.

Some things were new to us, like the Halloween decorations and various rides being transformed for the holiday, and some things were familiar to us, like Ben doing bunny ears in every photo.

There were fast things......

and slow things,

and "O" things (the letter "O" in California).

There was sword pulling, and

lightsaber fighting (an entire blog post to come on this later, complete with Vader and video), and

more then a few photo opps.

There was lots of holding Sam, and

lots of riding with Sam, 

and even a few naps with Sam (notice his heat-flushed cheeks and sweaty head. 110 degrees, people.)

There were sweet-smelling rides, and

and crazy-driver rides, and

and crazy-sweet rides.

There was some (jump) down time, some

some wet time, 

some weapon time, and lots and lots of

Toy Story time. We lost count how many times we rode the "Buzz" ride, per our 20-month-old's instructions.
