Thursday

On Thursday, we went to both parks. Disneyland in the morning, and California Adventure at night. At Disneyland we didn't ride a lot of rides. We climbed up the castle, rode Indiana Jones, rode Pirates of the Caribbean and finished with Small World. In California Adventure, we rode the silly symphony swings, the Ferris wheel, the Toy Story Mania and the carousel. The Toy Story Mania was awesome! You put on 3D glasses and get in a cart with a cannon on it. You pretty much aim the cannon and shoot virtual balls at virtual targets with scores on them. Your score adds up and you get to see it in the end. After we rode Toy Story Mania, we rode the carousel and left the parks once and for all. That night, we watched the Disneyland fireworks. They were amazing! They did a Mickey head, a star, a heart, a cube and a smiley face. They did so many other ones, of all colors. When they finished, I got in bed and fell asleep.

Tuesday

On Tuesday, I got bad sunburns so we didn't go to any park. Instead, we played ping-pong and I got pretty good.Later we went to the pool. They had 4 hot tubs, and one was giant! We only went in the main pool a little because it was dirty and shallow. We got in an empty hot tub (everybody was in the bigger one) and hung out there. We started to get bored, so we inflated our swim-shirts with the bubble jets. It was harder than it should have been because the jets were sideways, but my collar (of my shirt) still reached my nose.

Sunday

On Sunday we went on even more rides.Indiana Jones was my favorite.I wish I could describe it,but it was way too complicated.I really liked it!I also liked Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.It was fast, jerky,bumpy and big.As soon as we got on, it started pouring down rain!By the time we got off, we were soaked! Then I went to California Adventure. I went on the California Screami'n,and it rocked. It was like"5,4,3,2,1,GO!"andit took you at 65 MPH! You go through a loop-de-loop at full speed! It was awesome!

FridayFly2

On Friday, we got ready for the day and went down to play ping pong. I had just started when I decided to play the arcade games instead. I would usually never play the motorcycling game because I didn't like them, but I did it anyway. I was actually better then beginners are usually, and it was fun. I went 150mph off a jump and did tricks. It rocked! Later we got in the plane and went home. In the beginning, it was really cool. About an hour later, all you could see were clouds, mountains and sky(good thing I brought my DS).When we got home, we were sad we left, but happy to be back home.

Wednesday

On Wednesday, it was really hot.We went to California Adventure in the morning. We went to A Bug's Land and rode 2 rides. One was like the teacups and the other was bumper cars. We took pictures and a water break before heading to the tortilla factory and the sourdough factory. They both gave us samples, and the tortilla was definetly better. The sourdough factory taught us all about how sourdough is made. They said it takes 72 hours to make a complete batch! Also, you always save a little bit of the dough for the next batch. I think they called it the starter seed. They also told us that you don't just bake it, you refrigerate it as well.After our tours, we got smoothies. They were really good at first, but then they seemed too sweet, so we threw 'em away.
