Four Crazy Days of Disney

Every year my Hawaii cousins come for a fun week at Disneyland. I was lucky enough to stay at the Paradise Pier for the week and enjoy 4 glorious days of Disney with them!

I always beg Mom to go in the pool at the hotel. This year we had an evening free of Disneyland so we headed to the pool. It was blazing hot outside so it was nice to cool off. I pretty much rode the water slide non stop!

There was a wadding pool right next to the slide so it was perfect for Slimes to play in and for Mom to watch both of us. 
We went straight from the pool to the hotel restaurant (hence Jude has no shirt on). The characters only come at breakfast, so Jude and I hit the stage to give everyone some entertainment.
Mom and I drug our butts out of bed at 6:30 one of the days to hit magical morning. We wanted to hit all the rides in Cars Land before the crowds got there. As luck would have it Radiator Springs Racers was not running, so Uncle Greg got in the LONG line for the fast passes. Me, Enna, Cozi, Bria, Catie, and Mom went for a spin on Lugi's Flying tires.

You move the floating tires by leaning either front, back, left, or right. 
Red, the fire truck, was out for photo ops.
We also hit up Tow Maters Junkyard Jamboree. It is such a fun ride!
There are lots of different songs the tractors dance to.
The best part? No wait!
Since we went on so many rides at California Adventure (including Grizzly River Rapids twice) we decided to try and ride EVERY SINGLE ride in the park that day. 
Dad and Slimes came and joined us later in the day. Slimes can't go on too many rides so he couldn't do the challenge.
A little Mickey's Fun wheel.
Jamie also joined us later in the day. Hooray for cousins!!
Mom, Cozi, Catie, and Uncle Greg completed the challenge! Mom and Uncle Greg even threw in the trolley car for good measure. 
Cute Cousins! Jude and Lucie.

We had some hot days but managed to find ways to cool off. A little water play....

.....and a few slushies to share.
I've never been in the Innovations exhibit in Disneyland. Uncle Greg loves it so we went in (they are also closing it down in the near future). Uncle Greg played a race car game with me.
Mom left me with the cousins one day to take Jude back for a nap. I felt so old! Jamie is one of my Disneyland Buddies.
Do you like my funny face?
How about this one? Aunt Jen, Brooke, Kate, and Buzz (who I'm sitting next to) also joined us 2 of the days. It was such a blast being there with my cousins. Next summer can't come soon enough!!!! Come back Hawaii cousins.
