Disney Day

We had a free Friday afternoon and Disney was calling... 

Check out this big girl! She's hit that 48 inch mark, or an inch or so over when she's in her tennis shoes. That means she can now ride every single ride at Disneyland/California Adventure, including the Incredicoaster.

It was our first time on the ride since it was rebranded to feature the Incredibles movies, so I forced Violet to pose near her namesake.

This was Violet's first roller coaster with a loop - she loved it (despite her suspect expression)!

Cora's now a full-fledged Marvel fan, and she can't wait for the transformation of A Bug's Land into a Marvel-themed area. She's calling it Iron Man Land, since he's her favorite and Stark Industries is apparently building it. (Nice touch, Disney!)

The girls love spending time in the Animation Academy; this time, we produced Jack Skellington. Violet added Mickey ears and a churro to hers, since the lead artist kept mentioning churros during the class.

We then went into the next animation area, where the girls created their own cartoons.

Next was time for Guardians of the Galaxy, Violet's favorite ride.

Later, we went into Disneyland for Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Tiki Room. Before we headed home, we relaxed and watched early Mickey Mouse cartoons from the late 1920s.

The girls conked out in the car - not common for me to see sleeping children behind me anymore!

I was shocked to see Stace still awake when we got home - he was playing a soccer game on Cora's Playstation! So, we all had a very entertaining evening.
