Denise was away on Saturday so it was just AJ and I at home for most of the day. AJ was doing what I call &#8220;scout mode,&#8221; which basically consists of him &#8220;scouting&#8221; up trouble. Anyhow, so he finds my lunchbox that I take to work and he immediately decides to dump everything out. It is a Saturday, and since I don&#8217;t go to work on the weekends I didn&#8217;t really think much of it. Except for the fact that I forgot that I on Friday I didn&#8217;t drink all of the Crystal Light I had in my water bottle. So as you can imagine AJ figures out how to open the water bottle and begins to squirt red cherry Crystal Light all over our light beige carpet. I see him do this and I tell him &#8220;no, bad boy,&#8221; he runs away and then comes back with a towel, gives it to me and then proceeds to say &#8220;papi, clean-up,&#8221; and then goes on playing again.<br \/>\nAnyhow, after I cleaned the Crystal Light disaster are and Denise got back we went to DCA (Disney&#8217;s California Adventure).<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/discalparknght.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/discalparknght.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"DisneylandatDark\" width=\"438\" height=\"336\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-533\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBy the time we got there it was starting to get dark.

Michat is one of several Disney fan clubs. Pretty much it was a chance to geek out on Disneyland trivia (Do you know that the official elevation of Disneyland is 138ft?)<br \/>\nAfter that we took a stroll down Downtown Disney:<br \/>\nThe World of Disney store has almost every Disney related item you could ever want:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/wrldofdisweb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/wrldofdisweb.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"wrldofdisweb\" width=\"448\" height=\"336\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-538\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThere are plenty of outdoor singers at Downtown Disney:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/outdrsingrweb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/outdrsingrweb.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"outdrsingrweb\" width=\"448\" height=\"336\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-539\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI thought these Minnie Mouse apples were kind of neat looking:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/minnieapplesweb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/minnieapplesweb.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"minnieapplesweb\" width=\"448\" height=\"305\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-540\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIn all it was a very fun night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I would like to talk about our night at DCA (Disney&#8217;s California Adventure) and Downtown Disney, but before I do that I have to tell everyone an AJ story.
