California Trip - California Adventure

We always have a good time in California Adventure. We decided to go there first thing on our last day because the lines were way too long to start at Disneyland.
My favorite ride in California Adventure is the Toy Story ride that is like an arcade game.  Megan had to go to the bathroom right before we got on the ride so Tony had to take her.  They gave him a pass to return and it was for a whole group to go to the front of the line.  I didn't know that he got a pass so I asked about it and they gave me a pass too.  So we used one pass one day and the other the next day.  It was so nice not to have to wait in the line.  We were really spoiled with that pass.
While Tony was waiting inline to go on the carousal with all the kids, Megan was leaning over the water to touch the spraying out water and she leaned too far and fell head first into water getting herself completely wet.  She was warned not to lean over so far, so I guess she learned her lesson.  She was not happy about being all wet and got a pretty good scrape on her arm.
Tony called Margie and I over to come and get her (we were just sitting on the other side of the ride).  I packed extra clothes for the girls just in case but I didn't have extra shoes/socks.  So I took Megan into the bathroom and changed her clothes and dried her up the best I could.  But I couldn't put wet shoes and socks back on so Tony and I had to go find her some new shoes.  We found the cheapest pair of flip flops we could ($20) and then we went back to having fun in the park.  We only got to go on the Ariel ride once, but it was Megan's favorite.  We spent more time in California Adventure then we normally do because it was so busy in Disneyland and we were having such a great time.
We didn't get on the Tower of Terror ride this trip.  The ride was either down or the fast passes were all out and we didn't want to wait.  We were a little bummed because they are changing the ride and we wanted to go on it one more time and it would have been the first time for Megan and Josh.  Josh and Tyler both went on the ride Screamin' - first time for both.  They were both so worried about going on it and then ended up loving it.  Tyler loved it more then Josh and went on it a few more times before the end of our trip.
Tyler and Josh really liked to watch the performers do the "Newsies" act where they sing and dance around as Newsies.  The kids love that show and Tyler, especially, loved watching the actors do it there.
We also got to watch the new show Frozen at the theater in California Adventure.  It used to be Aladdin, which was really good.  This so was even better then Aladdin, it was AMAZING!  They had great actors and the special affects were awesome.  Allie and Megan both did so good watching it the whole time.  Tyler and Josh liked it too.  I am glad that we took the time to see it.  We had debated whether to wait to see it or not, I am glad that we waiting.  It was so good.
We really did have so much fun.  Even though it was pretty busy and their were lots of people we still had so much fun.  We are so lucky to be able to go with Margie and make all these amazing memories.
