Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend: Disneyland Day 2

Our second day at Disneyland was Saturday.Since we didn't hit up California Adventure the day before, we started there first.

We went straight to California Screamin' because it was only a 10 minute wait (what?!?). And it wasn't even a 10 minute wait! We basically walked on. It was great. All of us kids went on the ride the first time but my mom and Lex sat it out the second time.
A.J. decided to be funny...thanks.
Round 2
After only being in the parks for about 45ish minutes, my mom, Alexandra, and A.J. wanted to head back to the hotel and rest/do homework. Brad and I did not have to run a 5k that morning so we were feeling pretty awake. We stayed in the parks while they went back.

First, we went on Tower of Terror. For some reason this ride always makes me nervous and scared, every single time. I truly don't know how it does it. This is one of my absolute favorite rides in all of Disneyland and Disney World. I rode this for the first time in Disney World and I have to admit, the Disney World version is way scarier.

We went on Tower of Terror later that night also.

Brad and I also explored ToonTown.

The rest of the fam joined us for dinner at Naples (sooo good) and then we all headed back into CA Adventure. This is when we went on Tower of Terror for the second time. We also hit up Soarin' Over California. A.J. wanted some Ghirardelli so we headed there next!

Brad and I didn't think dessert the night before a race was that smart, so we stuck to our pasta. A.J. on the other hand got a full on sundae the night before the race! He was pretty brave.

After Ghirardelli, it was time to head back to the hotel and go to bed! I was so nervous going to bed that night. Post about the morning is coming soon :) Overall is was a very fun day 2 in Disneyland.

Memorial Day Weekend: Part 3

We concluded our memorial day weekend on Sunday and Monday. On Sunday, we all went to the last Cardinals/Dodgers game. Cardinals won 5-3!!! Yay! This game we actually ordered seats in the main field instead of the outfield pavilion. It was a lot nicer: food, stores, seats, shade, and view. The main thing that was especially nice was the shade! It made for a very nice last game.

Seats right on the foul line.


Cardinals celebrating after the game.


I'm so glad that we had such a relaxing weekend away. It was much needed :)

When we got back home, we went straight to the Shelbys house to play with their new golden retriever puppy, Scarlet. She is just the cutest thing! The Shelbys had a barbecue on Monday so we went over there and got some more time with baby Scarlet.




So adorable! Have a great Monday everyone :)

QOTD: Have you ever had/played with a puppy golden retriever?
