Day 1 of California Adventure

Since we stayed at a Disney Hotel we got to go into the parks an hour early. So we decided to take advantage of it and head to the rides that always have the worst lines. 1st stop was the Toy Story ride in California Adventure and of course we rode it a few times.  (I just had my cell phone with me on this ride so the pictures aren't that great)

Something you never see....NO LINE....unless you go in an hour early and walk straight to this ride
Had to pose with some Halloween decor

We then headed to Car's Land and rode all the new rides....we loved Radiator Springs Racers!

I kept telling Paxton to look at me and smile then Lightening McQueen said SMILE! It was funny.

At Bug's Land

Disney JR

Parade Time!

Our 1st time seeing Mickey on this trip. Paxton was excited and nervous. He made Aaron hold him.

 Mickey got to meet Paxton's Mickey

Cars Land at night is so cool

Checking in to the Disney Grand California

This year we wanted to have a new experience at Disneyland. We decided to go for Halloween and splurge and stay at the Disney Grand California. We spent a week here and had 5 day hopper passes. It was nice having the 5 days passes since we were connected to California Adventure. We could go right in, go on some of our favorite rides and then go back to our room. And on days we spent our whole day their in the parks we could go back to the room to rest and let the kids nap if we wanted. It made it so nice.

Checking in and getting to our room the kids were excited for the fun week ahead. Here is the view from the balcony of our room

Checking in the hotel the lady gave Paxton some birthday loot since his birthday is soon

Each of us got personalized room keys, the kids were excited to have their own key

After checking in and getting settled we went to Down Town Disney to do some playing, shopping and to eat Dinner. The kids were excited to hit the Lego Store.

Hayden saved up his money to buy himself this Lego set.

The kids built a car and had a race

AZ State Fair

Every year we go to the AZ State Fair with my family. We love the food and always have so much fun. I forgot my camera but took some pictures with my phone.

Paxton LOVES Monster trucks so he was so excited to ride this ride, he ended up riding it a few times.

Paxton turns 3!
