We have been in Anaheim for two days now, and we spent the first one in Disney’s Californian Adventure, and today in Disneyland itself.

We saw the real Lightning McQueen yesterday and had our photo taken with him AND Mater.  Then we saw a parade just before end of the day and we saw McQueen again but this time he was driving – Elliot was in heaven 🙂  We travelled all this way to see Lightning – and thankfully we saw him on the first day in LA.

We spent today in Disneyland itself, which for those who have been the Disney World in Florida, is clearly the park that gave ALL the inspiration for the Magic Kingdom Park in Orlando.  This park here is a scaled down version – the rides are very similar also.

We have enjoyed some terrific ice-creams on both days – warm caramel sauce on the inside of a waffle cone with cookies and cream ice-cream – nice 🙂

Both days have enjoyed nice sunshine, but only after lunchtime today.  Simon has characteristically burned his face and neck in the sun today – muppet.

We have plenty of video footage and hopefully some of it will be useful 🙂

Finally, Oliver has figured out how to crawl during this trip and has begun to not want to eat baby food – he wants to eat the same thing that Elliot or mummy or daddy is eating…..

We feel like we brought a baby out to California with us and will be bringing a little boy back with us 🙂
