Grace, Neil, and I woke up before the sun to catch a flight to Santa Ana, California. We took just enough time to drop our bags off at our hotel before skipping over to California Adventures.
Grace's favorite ride was a roller coaster called California Screamin'. Her least favorite ride was the Tower of Terror. The unexpected free-fall was a bit too much for her. Neil loved it.
It was fun to watch Grace do different things that we would not have done if her other siblings were with us. She was in heaven at the Animation Academy where she learned to draw a Disney character.
When we bought her a churro, the vendor noticed her birthday button and gave her a second one for free. What a score!
Chip and Dale made Grace feel special as they danced around and gave her hugs.
We got a little wet in the splash zone for World of Color. It was a perfect ending to our long, busy, super fun day.
The Holiday Inn put us up in a special room full of fairies and flowers for the birthday girl.
Even though it was only September, Disneyland was all decked out in Halloween decor.
Grace was brave enough to hop on stage for Jedi Training. She fought Darth Vader with her light saber and resisted the force of the dark side.
Her souvineer of choice was pressed pennies. They were a fun yet inexpensive way to remember our special trip together.
