For the past several months, Cloudburst has been part of a new gymnastics team program in Utah called Team Gym. Team Gym is for younger gymnasts to allow them to compete earlier and everything is done as a team, including vault jumps and tumbling passes. Their first meet was held inside the park at California Adventure next to Disneyland! Nana drove up and spent the day with us. The weather was divine and the kids were in heaven!
California Adventure park is totally separate from Disneyland and was perfect for our little family! It is a smaller park and the kids could ride most of the rides. Their favorites were the Toy Story ride, the Tower of Terror, the swinging gondola, Soarin over California, and the Bug's Life movie (well, Tornado cried in that one, but they all loved the stink bug!)
Around 2 pm we headed back to our hotel to rest and eat a snack. I guess Nana thought the room was a bit cold!
The team lined up around 4 to get ready...
... then it was time to perform!
Their team is the first and only team from Utah, and this was their first meet. They got set to perform the floor routine, and got spooked a little by an opening "beep" prior to the music starting... but they ended up doing great.
It was a quick weekend, but we all had such a great time! We got to swim, walk in Downtown Disney, ride great rides, and of course, pick up some Mickey Mouse ears!

That sounds like a ton of fun! And sometimes quick trips are the best!
We went to California Adventure Park 2 years ago and had a blast. I loved the Tower of Terror and Soarin' too! Were you brave enough for Screamin'????
I don't know how you keep up with everything. Super mom! I'd love to put my girls into something. Maybe I'll get brave soon. I love seeing your pics! I have to tell you, when we went to CA adventure I went on screamin' and it was the first coaster I'd been on since we were married/kids. I road with a 10year old who laughed the whole time, and I know it wasn't the coaster she was laughing at. I probably sounded like I was dying, I couldn't muster the regular scream. (i could barely breathe;) I'm so glad you had fun. There's nothing like having family time.
I love it. My Marin would love something like that! We live in the little town so we don't have anything like that, but it looks like so much fun!!
