I have no idea why I thought that would be a good time to go with the girl-child! But I did and we had an absolute blast! For the girl-child this was surprise trip, for me it was months of planning. I'm lucky that, while she is extraordinarily smart, she is also somewhat naive and gullible, so I was able to pull it off without a hitch. We got up Sunday morning, got ready to "run errands", went to get coffee for Auntie and a smoothie for the girl-child and we were on our way. It wasn't until we were on the road for 45 minutes before she actually asked me where we were going! Once I told her, she was ecstatic and couldn't wait to get there. Every 30 minutes or so it was "Auntie, how many more miles until we get there?"The place was a zoo! Definitely more crowded than I was expecting...how naive of me! :) Once we got there, we headed straight for California Adventure. This is a girl after my own heart! She loves the big rides and the only thing that she didn't want to go on (and I agree completely) was the Tower of Terror. We went on California Screamin', the Grizzly Run, Maliboomer, Mulholland Madness, Orange Stinger...all the fun rides! We even ended up doing California Screamin' twice and the second time was from the very front row! When we got off the second time, I asked her how she liked riding in the front row. Her reply: Auntie! That ROCKED!! That's my girl!
We also spent some time at Disneyland and rode on Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain Railroad, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, and Autopia. On our second day there, we spent quite a bit of time in Downtown Disney and had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe, did some shopping, got temporary tattoo's, and turned the girl-child loose in Club Libby Lu!
Getting the hair done...
Getting the make up done...
All finished...she looks so grown up!

You don't know just how nervous that last photo makes me.
Tonight I'm going to sharpen my axe.
I know you girls had fun though. :)
