Dream of Dragons: The GCA: Downday

So we finally made it to Anaheim- the California part of our Great California Adventure. Checked into our Disney hotel for the rest of our stay. The kids were quite excited to see the large statue of Goofy.

The next day was Friday and the middle of our trip, so that's the day we took for a down day. Had to save up our energy for two days of Disney.

We attended a character breakfast. (BEST french toast EVER. Seriously! I ate like 6 pieces of it!) The characters were not so hot with the kids, unless they were a nice 5 feet away. There was one that actually got Jonathan to give him a high 5 though, so it is getting better than say, last summer, when he would cling to me and cry at Disney World. This is me with the two of them before the breakfast.

We "celebrated" Lily's birthday (her birthday is at the beginning of the summer) with presents from Nana and Aunt Heidi. She got princess dress up outfits. Jonathan had to get in on the fun.

We went to the Atlantis play center. Apparently it was a state of the art playground back when mom took me to it 29 years ago when I was 2. Yeah- not so much anymore. It was kind of run down, but it was completely contained, so if the kids ran off, I wasn't too worried.
