Wouldn't you know....

....that we are at Disneyland and one of the Riggio's is under the weather. Pretty typical these days. What's a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth with the flu bug following us?

We awoke to gray skies and cool temps this morning and walked the few blocks from our hotel (a Holiday Inn Express this go 'round thanks to a cheap rate) to the entrance to Disneyland. I could tell that Joshua wasn't himself, especially since he turned his nose up at the Pop-Tart I gave him. We waited at the gate and were one of the first through when they opened at 8am, and thank goodness for that. In a matter of two and a half hours we were able to ride the Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Thunder Mountain, the Matterhorn, and the Astro-Blasters. Whew! It's always good to get a little excitement with exercise in the morning. The boys enjoyed fighting over who was going to ride with nana, and I just stood by and took the "leftover."

After arriving at California Adventure, Joshua declared he wanted a hot dog to which nana obliged. Unfortunately he only ate half of it and asked to go back to the hotel. So here we are, relaxing and napping while nana and Dominic have fun at the parks. Hopefully Joshua will get to feeling better later in the day or mommy is going to hit the parks solo.

Either way, Dominic had a fun day with nana and enjoyed most of the rides at California Adventure. Here are a few pics of today's adventure:
