About to enter the parks.
Disneyland California was mostly under construction (but still full price--jip!).


In line at Small World for Claire, Sophie and Adam's FIRST Disneyland ride ever!

Dinner at Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney.
Claire was sure we'd see Tianna eventually if we rode the steamboat a thousand times.
Sophie enjoyed the train ride best.

The girls sang to beat the L.A. traffic blues.





The ocean is colder than it looks!



We had some fresh steamed baby octopi at King Harbor Pier.

Handsome Adam happy about Mexican candy at Olvera Street.

My view for most of the trip.
Serious churros are found at "Mister Churro" on Olvera Street.
Claire liked the L.A. Farmer's Market and so did Adam (he ate some excellent alligator there!).
Excited to leave the hotel in our homemade matching shirts.

Claire asked to ride the carousel more times than anything else.
