Great California Adventure - Survived Day 1

Wow! We've learned alot! Like:
Michelle doesn't like
blue water in the airplane toilets
the toilet itself on the airplane,
the sound of lift off,
the red flashing sensor on automatic toilet flushing systems in public restrooms,
hand dryers in public restrooms,
the plane landing
the smell of a new rental car
Its A Bugs Life 3-D (this feature will elict a loud, hysterical shriek of GET ME OUTTA HERE NOW!!!)

Hannah doesn't like
most all rides and attractions in Disneyland except autopia, tea cups, carousel and its a small world.

Gene and Ginny like
Its a Small World - this is a super long ride which allows for a great NAP!!!

Really the girls were so good yesterday. After a red eye flight they stayed awake and energetic and in good moods all day! We got to the park at about 8 and stayed until almost 4. The walk back to the hotel (which seemed so close in the morning) was challening for all at the end of the day. But they made it - their feet were sore but the bodies were eager to hit the pool when we arrived back at the hotel.

My dear dear cousin Ruth Ann joined us at the park and is the best best best with the girls. I also so enjoy talking with her. Where has she been all my life? Or more like where was I all of her life!

My brother Bill came by last night and we went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory - the food was TERRIFIC. It was so wodnerful to spend time with Bill and Ruth Ann.

Its almost 8:10 a.m. and the girls are still asleep. Will wake them soon then breakfast and off we go to the north and to devin's baptism tonight - which is the real reason we are here in California,
