Disneyland - Day 2 (Tuesday, Jan. 13th)

Happy Birthday Gracie!!! Many more pictures on Tuesday but again, I've narrowed it down considerably. We started off in California Adventure & once again did the Princess lunch at Ariel's Grotto. It's so dang expensive but we have a Disney rewards Visa & with all the medical bills we've had lately we actually had the lunch paid for with our Disney reward dollars! Um...Yay?! lol Anyway, the girls loved it & they gave Gracie a little birthday cake with a candle & sang Happy Birthday to her. She was so cute talking to all the princesses. My friend Michelle & her daughter Caitlyn joined us & were able to spend the whole day with us! It was so much fun....thanks again for coming Michelle! On a side note, the only place in either of the parks that you will get anything for free is in California Adventure....they have a Mission Tortilla Factory & a sourdough bread factory & will actually give out samples. We hit up the tortilla factory both days. YUM! Anyway, the girls also went nuts at the Playhouse Disney show. Coray & I were just laughing at how much fun Gracie was having jumping around, dancing in the aisle & singing. It was so cute to watch. We spent more time in A Bug's Land & the girls enjoyed the Monster's Inc. ride a lot too. I really like California Adventure....it's never as crowded as the Disneyland side is either. We stayed the whole day again & they were even showing Fantasmic so we stayed to watch that too. That was honestly one of my favorite shows when I used to work there & I never really got tired of watching it so it was fun to see it again. Emma was a bit scared during one particular part with the dragon but otherwise she loved it too. It was such a fun trip!
