Vacation Day 7 (and a few of Day 8)

We really were happy to spend another day in Disneyland even if Joey's face does not show it. 

 But we were all sleeping like logs after so many days of fun.

 We took advantage of one more picture in front of the Mickey Flower head.

 Arabella wanted to go on Splash Mountain one more time.  You can not see them but that is Peter, Joey, Jon and Arabella racing down!

 Jon wanted to visit Toon Town again and we had a great time.

 Peter really liked Mickey's tools.

 I liked all of the hats.

 Cute Family! Lily on a drum- silly!

 Oh garsh, Goofy!

 We loved seeing Minnie in her polka dots!

 Lily can not talk but we knew she wanted to go on It's a Small World one more time and we were happy to oblige.  She was so happy!!

 The bright sun made the castle picture a bit hard to capture but we tried and in doing so we met Ariel!

 Arabella was so happy!

 We went to do some final pin trading and found all of these characters in their Western wear.

I think Jon would have way too much fun with Chip and Dale.

 Lily was not so sure about the giant duck in her face but Arabella loves Daisy and this one signed her pillow case.

 Jon even kissed Daisy on the bill.

 The kids had been asking to go on the ferris wheel the whole trip.  We finally agreed, waited for 40 minutes,  and rode in a swinging car.  It was actually really fun!

 We told the kids they could have any treat they wanted and the chose the fill your own giant pixie stix.  Whatever?! They were happy.  We are waiting for Peter and Arabella to go on the Tower of Terror.  Arabella loved it and wanted to go again.  The boys had done it once and had no intention of going again.  It is so interesting how kids can be so different. Arabella has a bit more adventure/daring in her.

This was the only we did not have other family with us in the park and the only day we lost one of our kids.  

We came out of Captain EO (Peter's pick) and all of us headed to the stroller except Joey- he just kept on walking.  We had made the kids wear bracelets with mine and Peter's phone numbers on them the whole week.  Well, it finally worked.  He had only gone around the corner to Star Tours but still very nerve wracking.  

 On our way to the airport the next day we stopped at Taco Bell.  do you like their anti-theft system.  That is a serious security window.  Peter put his finger up there so you could tell just how thick the plexi glass was. 

Happy kids that were ready to fly home.

We loved our trip and I look forward to another Disney adventure some time.  Our kids were great ages-everyone (except Lily-who did not care) could ride just about everything.  Arabella was old enough to know and care about the princesses and young enough to believe.  I said so many times while we were there and I will say it here "It was Magical!"
