Ruby is ready to go!

Kim and Brian get in to California Adventure an hour early today.  We have two day tickets but our are not Hopper tickets so whatever park we choose for the day is where we will stay for the day.  We chose California Adventure.  Brian and Kim met us at the Cars Fastpass station.  We all got Fastpasses for Cars between 2:30 and 3:30.  Since Soarin' over California is closed, this is my favorite ride in C.A. 

The first ride Ruby wanted to go on was Goofy's Flying School.  Brian doesn't like the ride and neither do I so we waited down on the ground.  We were going to take a picture in front of the Mickey Ferris Wheel but we were in a hurry to get to the Little Mermaid ride and we forgot to go back and take the picture once we were finished on the ride.  After the Little Mermaid ride we all went over to Tower of Terror.  Everyone rode on it except me.  Ruby knows no fear!

Kim and Brian went over to Disneyland to have lunch with the three boys.  We started looking for some lunch.  Ruby had a pretzel and then we all went on Monsters, Inc.  We made our way back over to where they sell corndogs for James's and my lunch.  While there Ruby and James went on the Jellyfish ride.  Ruby said it was like Tower of Terror only really boring.  

Ruby loves to have her picture taken.  Here she is with Mickey

and Walt Disney.

We rode on the Ferris Wheel, non-rocking thank you, and then Ruby and James rode on Grizzly Rapids.  After the ride they went in the gift shop and got Ruby an owl necklace.  She must have picked this out on her last trip because James said she knew exactly where it was.

Back on Main Street Ruby and I got some ice cream and watched some street performers.

 Such a cutie and so much fun!

 As close as she could get without actually being in the show.

When it was time to go on the Cars ride James realized he had lost his ticket and fast pass, so I gave him mine.  After the Cars ride James, Kim, and Brian went on California Screamin'.  Ruby would have gone too but she is not tall enough.  

As we were leaving Ruby ran in to some Disney celebrities.

 Old Mickey, I believe?

Ruby is not shy with the characters

We missed the picture when Minnie rubbed noses with Ruby.

On the way back to the motel Ruby asked: "What's for dinner?"  We drove along Harbor Blvd. until we found a Subway and stopped for dinner.  

Back at the hotel Ruby wants to go swimming.  James took her down to the pool but soon they were back.  James said that the pool was only open from 6am to noon.  I said, "I don't think that can be right", but by then Ruby had lost interest in swimming.  Instead of swimming they went down to Happy Hour.  We wanted popcorn but got Goldfish instead.

Ruby's winning smile!

My feet really bothered me today.  I decided to take a warm bath and then James rubbed my feet with Deep Blue.  I felt so relaxed that I went right to bed after family prayer and putting Ruby to bed.

She loves sleeping on the hide-a-bed couch with her stuffed animals.
