Since we were already in California visiting family AND we had extra Disney park hopper tickets from last fall, we decided to take the kids to Disney's California Adventure and Disneyland for a couple of days during fall break. We stayed at the Paradise Pier. The view was amazing and the kids loved the pool's water slide.
Day one was spent visiting California Adventure. Aunt Kathleen, Aunt Jenny and Cooper joined us all day in the park. We had so much fun! Plus, the crowds were actually pretty minimal. We really didn't have to wait in any major ride lines. We were shocked, but very appreciative.

Highlights/notes from this day:
- The kids were not huge fans, but Josh and I thought the new Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: Breakout! was fun.
- Aiden still loves Spider-Man.
- Madilyn loved drawing at the Animation Academy.
- I loved hanging out with my Palmer sisters, Jenny and Kathleen.
- Madilyn and Cooper braved the California Screamin' Roller Coaster with me.
- We all tried Carthay Circle Restaurant for dinner. The service was surprisingly slow, but the food quality was very good.
