Disneyland, Final Day in the Parks

Our last day in Disneyland, Thursday, we started out in Disneyland and then ended the day in California Adventure just trying to hit some rides we had missed or doing some of our favorites again. Tower of Terror was on the top of Hannah's list and the other kids loved any and all of the rides!




Megs and Lightning McQueen.

Hannah on the zipline.


We waited forever at Rainforest Cafe for lunch....I guess it is pretty difficult to seat 17??

Hannah's favorite ride, seriously an awesome ride!


Logan, Megan, and Austin being toys with the Army Men.





In line for the Toy Story ride.






On Thursday night we met up for dinner at the Cheesecake Factor with Rhett, Heather, and Gavin. It was great to see them all, I can't wait until they move back to Utah! It was the best food we had all week and the cheesecake was AMAZING! Hannah was so exhausted she crashed on the table and Maddy sleept the whole time on my lap.

On Friday morning I snapped a few shots of our condo we stayed in, thank you Mom! We have been so spoiled with her letting us use her timeshare for some trips, we love it!

Where the kiddos slept.

The living room.


The master bedroom. It also had a kitchen, which is so convenient!

It was a truly magical trip! We made so many great memories and I have already been wanting to go back, like, now! It it just so much fun to see the kids get so excited about every ride and so excited to see the characters they love, and to feel like a kid again myself when I got to go 0n an exhilarating roller coaster!! We just love Disneyland and I am sure it will be a place we visit often!!

Disneyland, Day #3

We spent day #3 in Disneyland hitting some of our favorite rides again and top on the list was to see Rapunzel!

Meeting Rapunzel was a highlight of the trip for the girls!!
Flynn Rider was also really cute with the girls.




The kids liked the goats at the petting zoo.



Princess Jasmine.



Snow White






Sleeping Beauty






Sleeping Beauty was so sweet and spent time talking with the girls.


Wendesday was a super fun day, I think it was the least busy day at Disneyland and so we were able to do a lot of rides. Megs even tried Matterhorn and the old railroad one, and both the girls went on The Haunted Mansion with Rob. We did Pirates and I got to do Indiana Jones and Space Mountain, it was so much fun! Hannah went on Space Mountain with me and that girl shows no fear, she just loved it! Wyatt and Maddy loved all the rides, like Dumbo and the Teacups and Buzz Lightyear.
Maddy and Wyatt were so good about falling asleep and taking a nap in the stroller, it was such a nice break for me to not have to worry about watching them and they also weren't so ornery by the end of the night because they had gotten a little rest.

California Adventure, Day #2








































We started out Tuesday morning taking the kids to a princess breakfast at Ariel's Grotto. We brought their princess dresses for them to wear at the breakfast and we also didn't tell them what we were doing, just that it was a surprise. They were so EXCITED to meet the princesses, Hannah and Megs especially. Maddy was a little wary of them, but talked about them a lot afterwards. Wyatt really could care less, but he did like the yummy food. We had made some autograph books before we went on the trip and so the girls got all of the pincesses autographs in their books. They announced each of the princesses as they came out to the dining area and then each princess went to each table to talk to the kids and get their pictures taken. It was a lot of fun!
California Adventure is so much fun. I love Soarin' Over California, California Screamer, and the Tower of Terror and they have fun kids rides like Bugs Life, Monsters Inc., and the Toy Story ride. The kids had so much fun running on and off rides with their cousins and taking turns riding with Grandpa and Grandma. I was so greatful for Grandma and Grandpa being willing to take Maddy or Wyatt on a ride with them.
