Disneyland Part 2

The next day, we explored the other side of the park, which is called "California Adventure."  This was my favorite.  It seemed more geared toward the younger children, although that's just the opposite of what people told me before we went. 

Each morning, the boys would hurry down the hall ahead of us.  When we got to the elevator, this is what we found....

That was before we saw the green army men from Toy Story!  Spencer volunteered to be one of their recruits. 

You can't tell, but most of this "street" is just a big mural.  Even when you're standing right there, it's hard to tell where reality ends and the illusion begins!

"Cars Land" was probably the most sought after part of Disneyland for us.  It's like walking into their favorite movie!  We took a tractor ride at Mater's Junkyard. 

Then we saw Lightning McQueen at the Cozy Cone Motel!  These characters are very real.  They talk and move with real facial expressions.  Pretty impressive!

White wall tires--only the best!

Who's that snazzy babe?  There was a HUGE line for this Cars ride, but Andy got us fast passes so we zipped to the front of the line.  Whew!

We got in these cars that look just like the ones in the movie.  There's another one right beside us so we can "race."  It was quite a ride!


So that's pretty much our trip in a very small nutshell.  I think we all had a great time, but it was nice to come home and get some sleep!
