The Birthday!

When given the choice of a birthday party or a day at Disneyland, the decision was easy. Disneyland!! On Tuesday Jason took the day off from work and we all went to celebrate Frannie's 5th birthday. My friend Lauren's family all has passes so I asked if she'd like to join us. My Dad also came, and surprise surprise, Bryan came too!

When we got there I asked Frannie what ride she really wanted to ride and she said "Tower of Terror!!" so it was decided that we'd spend the day at California Adventure. I'm really glad we did because the park was unexpectedly crowded and I know we would not have been able to enjoy the day as much over at the main park.

It was an absolutely beautiful sunny, not too hot, California day. I don't think I've had such a nice time at an amusement park in a really long time. Frannie had so much fun riding the Tower of Terror twice, Soaring over California, and all kinds of smaller rides in the It's A Bug's Life section. She and Hannah were constant hand holders. Adam had so much fun hanging out with James (even though they really didn't ride many rides at all). I enjoyed talking to Lauren all day as we sat and waited for the girls to ride their rides. My Dad, brother, and Jason were the ones who escorted the girls. Jason and I aren't normally big Disneyland folk, but both of us agreed that we actually had fun!
