First Adventure of Summer Vacation

"Hannah, you've just finished 2nd grade, where are you going???
"We're going to Disneyland!!"

What better way to start vacation than with a trip to Disneyland! When we were on the tram to the parks, Hannah said "It's been awhile since we've been here, that's so unlike us". It's been more weeks than I care to admit since we've been to The Happiest Place. And it was great to make a trip.

The weather was extremely weird today. At the beginning of the week we were hibernating and trying to stay cool with the 105 temps. Today, it was overcast, rainy, and we even had some tornadoes touch down not too far from here. Despite checking the weather before we left, and even calling Disneyland, there wasn't any rain forecasted. But once we walked through the gates, it started to POUR! We made our way into the covering of the train tunnel and dawned our rain ponchos (gotta love the dollar store!). We dodged the rain by sitting on a covered porch on Main Street for a while, going into the cartoon theater, and then making our way over to California Adventure and taking advantage of the Animation Building and seeing a show. When we were making our way back over to Disneyland in the late afternoon and it started to pour again, I had had enough and we made our way to the trams to the parking structure. I might have been able to tolerate it a little longer if the puddles hadn't have been so deep and the girls kept stepping in them and splashing. LOL. But it was a fun adventure to say the least and a great way to start our vacation!
