Our Disneyland Adventure Continues

As our Disneyland Adventure continues...yesterday we took a day of rest b/c of our crazy drive down the other day and the crazy weather here in LA. It was so very cold, windy and raining a bit...I felt like I was in Sacramento in the winter not LA! Anyway, the Telford Family and all of us in the Morrill family decided to stroll around Downtown Disney and do a little shopping and window shopping. At our first stop at the Disney Store Hannah and Abby had fun being silly in Nemo hats:



Hannah, Tom & Abby had a lot of fun running circles in a courtyard of the The Grand Californian:



In the evening Adam & I made the suggestion of eating at the Rainforest Cafe b/c it would be fun to watch all the animals, plants, and rain showers around us when we ate. That "fun" turned into horror for Tom, Abby & Hannah as we were sitting next to a giant African Elephant that every 10-12 minutes would blow its horn and move around and terrify them. It was a fabulous dinner filled with screams of terror every 10-12 minutes from the kids. Hannah eventually somewhat got use to it but poor Tom & Abby had to leave. We all had a great dinner..ha-ha. After dinner though we went outside to check out the beautiful Christmas decorations and here are Abby & Hannah posing for a picture in front of Christmas Tree:



Today it was back to Disneyland for more fun. Since Hannah was up at 5:30am we got to the park at 7am and rode on the "Finding Nemo" submarine voyage and then we had lots of fun flying on Dumbo:





And of course we hugged a lot of Disney Characters:









We are still on the hunt for Baloo...Hannah's favorite. All she can talk about is finding Baloo and giving him a big hug. The only problem is that he is not around the park so much..why I don't know! We go everyday to the Disney City Hall b/c they can find where the characters are that day. We found out that Baloo was only appearing at the Minnie & Friends breakfast this morning (which by the way we were at on Thursday morning but Baloo was not there that day). So we went up to the Minnie & Friends breakfast and begged our way past 3 employees into the eating area promising them we did not want breakfast we just wanted to say hi to Baloo b/c that was our daughter's favorite character. Well once in we found out Baloo was on a break for some undisclosed amount of time...great. What we won't do for our kids. So tomorrow the search continues for Baloo...wish us luck!
