Another Trip to Disneyland

Please excuse me while I post about another trip to Disneyland. :)

This afternoon we went with our friends from church again. This time, Keith, the Dad was able to accompany us and we were able to show him how much fun having annual passes can be! It was another wonderful day of fun and fellowship and a lot of laughs. Once again, it wasn't too bad, crowd wise for a Saturday, so we were able to get on a lot of 'good rides'.

We started off at Disneyland. Once again hitting some favorite rides and attractions. While we were wandering Frontierland, I spotted a familiar face sitting on a nearby bench chatting to friend. It was Miss Barrett, Hannah's teacher!!! We knew she was also an annual passholder (another reason I really like the lady, in addition to her being an awesome teacher of course!) and it was fun to run into her while Hannah is off track. She was so excited to have run into us. She hugged Hannah and even had her friend take a picture of the two of them as well! :) We made our way over to California Adventure, hitting one of Hannah's most favorite rides, Grizzly River Run. It's a rafting-like ride that you get wet on, or depending on wear you sit in the raft, you can get soaked, which is what happened to all of our party that went on the ride! Us Moms sat this ride out because we didn't want to get wet. After riding the ride back to back and getting pretty wet each time, this is how Hannah looked. It's a good thing we had sweatshirts for the kids to change into, their shirts were were so wet, we could ring them out. The Dads got soaked too! Another of Hannah's favorite things to do at California Adventure is the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. So we spent a little time in there, letting the kids rock climb, do the slides, and of course walking the rope bridges. Within the RCCT, there is a cave where you can go in and discover what animal you are most like (it's taken from the movie Brother Bear). Hannah ended up being a Salmon. I'd say the characteristics fit her pretty well. :)We walked through Paradise Pier and rode some of the rides there, all with minimal wait times, which was really nice. What better way to finish the day then with some ice cream from Burrr-Bank!
