Our first stop of the day was California Adventure. Emma and I went on Tower or Terror, and then Jeron and JJ went thanks to Jana. The kids loved it and thought it was so freaky. I love the production that goes into all of the rides. They all have a story that is told. That is what makes Disney Parks different. I will have to say that Lagoon gives California Adventures a run for its money. More rides and closer together. Lagoon gets my vote.

We spent the first part of the day here. The kids got to see the High School Musical 3 performance. The kids all liked it but none as much as Ellie. She jumped out in the street and started dancing with them. It was one of the highlights of my trip.

Elsie was worn out on this day. She cried most of the day and would not let us put her in her car seat for anything. I can't say that I blame her.

JJ was very impressed that he made it through the Tower of Terror

Mr Potato Head said "Hey you in the blue shirt. Ya you, I am talkin' to you."

That was the first and last time you saw a happy child until 10pm

Back to Disneyland and who doesn't get this pic.

Jana and I took a much needed treat break from everyone. We went and got Ice cream while the kids watched the parade with the padres. It was great cause we could see the parade and eat all that the same time. With out kids! I saw Mary Poppins. That was another highlight for me.

At Pixie Hallow Ellie decided to take off and ran up to where all the fairies where. She made it up to Rosetta and gave her a hug. Then I grabbed her at took her back to our spot in line. When we got to the front of the line the worker told me that Rosetta loved Ellie and thought she was adorable, but she had to leave. I felt so bad because this was the one Fairy that Emma wanted to see. Ellie loves Tinker Bell so I wish we would have seen her. But Pixie Hallow is adorable.

There is now a place you can go and see all the princesses.

Cinderella

The Princess Aurora

The Duke of Disney

I don't know what my deal is but I love Toon Town. I could spend the whole time there. I think that the rest of the Pack pretty much enjoyed it as well.
Ellie loved Mickey's house

Elsie chillin' in Mickey's chair

Besides Peter Pan this is the only character that JJ would stand with. Mickey must be special

Elsie and Mickey! We forgot the autograph books so while the kids went on the toon roller coaster I went to get Mickey's autographs for Ellie and EmmaClimbing a Toon Mountain

Breakin' the law

Breakin' out

Come on tough guy

Oh look at the determination

This is too easy guys

"What in the world are you trying to make me do?"

Watch out Emma is a crazy driver.

JJ hang on!

Ellie and Elsie loved the merry go round

Elsie's favorite ride of the trip

Our last ride at Disneyland was Small World. As you can see Ellie isn't going to make it. She falls asleep to "It's a small world after all."

Hey look it's Jesse and Woody

Short nap and holding strong at 10:50pm

Saying Goodbye to Disneyland

This is where we parked everyday. It was an inside joke with the kids and Uncle Carl. So Carl this pic is for you. Pumba-a
I almost cried leaving. It was kind of funny cause I was done and I would have cried for sure if we could go another day but there was something about it that just made me sad. Our trip is almost over, and the plans we have made for nine years now are coming to an end:(
