California Day 2

...We slept as late as we could, no alarm clocks on this vacation! We took our time getting ready and headed to the hotel breakfast. It was a nice, hot breakfast with eggs, sausage, waffles, toast, hashbrown, oatmeal and lots of other things. Then we walked the two blocks to Disneyland. The whole time we waited in line to get our tickets Ian said over and over that he wanted to ride the train. So, the first stop (well, the first stop after getting our much love G.A.P) was the train!

We figured we save ourselves from the constant chatter about the train and avoid any possible meltdowns by getting on the train. We headed to toon town after getting of the train.

We really only rode a few rides and stayed long enough to see MICKEY! I mean, what is Disneyland without seeing MICKEY!!

We left toon town and headed straight to a classic...It's a small world! It's one of those rides you just can't miss, especially since this was Owen's fist visit. Ian and Owen loved it and even thought Millie and Matthais complained a little, I know they loved it too!

Owen wanted a picture of the elephant. Don't really know why?

Ian was so enthralled!



I thought it was really neat to see all the new Disney characters they've added. I don't know how long ago they did that but it wasn't that way when we went in 2004. It was fun to look for them and point them out to the kids.

Other Disney highlights that day...

Splash Mountain



In front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. We walked through it this year! That was kinda cool!



Halloween at Disneyland!

We left Disney and walked across the street. We ate at the McDonald's right next to Millie's. We had to get a picture!

 After lunch we walked back to the hotel and Adam, Matthais and Ian napped while I took these two swimming in the hotel pool. I think they were just as excited to swim as they were to go to Disneyland!

 Then, after dinner, we headed back to Disney.

Autotopia license's

Space Mountain. A little freaky for me!

While we waited for Adam and the older kids to go on the Matterhorn again (Owen was too afraid to go again) he crashed. I sat with him on this bench while Adam took the other kids and did a few rides. It had been a long, busy, magical day! The walk home carrying Owen was no fun for Adam though!
