Disneyland Vacation- Day 2

Friday we took the morning to relax and take advantage of the great house we had rented. The kids were happy to have some time to play in the backyard, on the swing-set, and with the toys that were there. The adults liked just relaxing in the great 80 degree weather and taking nice long showers in the CRAZY cool bathroom with the overhead waterfall.

Then in the afternoon we headed to Downtown Disney and had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. The kids loved all the moving animals and cool decor. At first t he kids were all a little scared of the gorilla by our table, especially when the thunder and lightening started. Halfway through the meal the kids barely noticed it was happening.

Aaron taught the girls they could eat their ice cream with a straw.... Thanks Aaron :)

Jake started to get tired at the end of the meal... so we left to take a quick walk through Downtown Disney...

Which is when Jake got a second wind and walked all around waving at everyone and anyone who would acknowledge him. :) Then he saw the balloons!!!
The girls, who were full of energy during dinner, did not feel as energetic as Jake. Guess they were still tired from their day at the park the day before.
Even Joel liked Downtown Disney... and the girls had a change of heart once we went into the giant Disney store!!!
While Mommy made the purchases in the store the kids enjoyed some dancing while they waited.



Later that night we grilled up some chicken for dinner and watched the cool outdoor fireplace.
