This time I remembered to check the weather.
Yup, expect hot.
Then we saw it...
It was beyond hot.But despite the heat, we headed over to California Adventure and braved the crowds to try out the new Toy Story Midway Mania ride.
We got there in time for most people to take a lunch break... So we only had a 45 minute wait.
Did I mention it was HOT? This would be my best shot. Those eyes - (and that's straight out of camera) how can I NOT give this child everything he asks for when he gives me those eyes? Well, let me just say he has another look he occasionally flashes that gets him NOTHING - but a time out to think about his actions, that is. (PS if you click in the picture you can see a reflection of me in his eyes as I'm taking the picture of him.)But I digress.
Mr. Potato Head posing for picture moments.The ride was so much fun! Harrison had no problem keeping his 3-d glasses on as he blasted targets with his zapper. It's so easy to keep pulling the cord even a 3-year-old can do it! Rather then go through the details of the ride, here are a couple of my not-so-great pictures and a link to the opening day of Toy Story Midway Mania. Check it out for some rare "inside" pictures of the attraction.
Yeah, we definitely LOVED it. It was a perfect blend of spinning around and blasting at targets - I felt like I was a kid for a moment and I wanted to go running back around and get right back in line to do it again!
[Not only would it NOT happen in that heat, but when we came out of the attraction, the line had grown extensively!]
Yes, we have a new favorite ride and it's headed up be a cowboy named Woody - but after some lunch and a bottle of refreshing water, Harrison said, "Let's ride Buzz Lightyear, Mommy!"Across the plaza we marched - to Disneyland, Buzz Lightyear was waiting.
Head over to Tracey's to see more sunny pictures!

Looks like he had a great time, and I don't think I could resist those gorgeous blue eyes either.

I can certainly see how you can give into anything with baby blues like that looking up at you.

Oh, wow. Popping over to Disneyland. My kids totally want to come live with you! And yes, the eyes have it. My kids and my dog know that I am a total sucker . . .

Wow, that looks like serious fun. I LOVE that Mr. Potato Head. And that Harrison? What a CUTIE. Again.
Oh yes...those eyes! Fantastic shot of him. He looks soooo hot there, though. At least he had fun and mommy was a good sport letting him have fun in much heat. :)
