10/20/07 - Disney Visit

As the year drew to an end, so did our year memberships to Disneyland. So here's some pics from our last trip, where we went to California Adventure (the eternal Frank Stallone of theme parks) to avoid the crowds.

Here's Zoë showing that Athena's not the only one who enjoys commandeering Daddy's hat.

Before...


And after...


Zoë's at that special age where she doesn't realize the trash cans are not supposed to be an integral part of the fun of going to Disneyland, on par with any of those rides.

Hey, this trash can doesn't even have a line!


And Athena hasn't yet realized that all the displays of toys can actually be purchased and taken home. (That'll be a fun day.)


Here's some shots from Flik's Flyers. First, amusing Zoë as we wait...


Then me and Athena enjoying the ride.




We spent most of the day at Flik's Fun Fair, the one part of California Adventure aimed at younger kids. The place is a marvel of design, where everything is scaled to make one feel bug-sized. The carriage we're riding in actually looks like a discarded box of Chinese take-0ut.

Finally, here's a closing shot of Athena and Zoë showing sisterly love.
