Headrick Family: Finally the rest of Disneyland

Sorry for the long post....just trying to get it all down before I forget!

We got up Monday morning and were excited to get to Disneyland....we went in and waited in Main Street until it was 10:00 and off we went to the new Nemo ride. Kylie didn't like it very much, Tanner was down with all the cousins having fun, and Paige loved the bubbles. We had a fun filled day and went to Autopia, and then headed over to California Adventures and spent the rest of the day there. We went on Soarin' over California Tanner wasn't so sure about that ride, watched HSM3 show, and then went on the Grizzly Rapids, and then headed over to the Bugs Life, went to the show...watched the parade, and then went on the new Buzz Lightyear ride which we all loved it was super fun! We then left the park since it was closing and went and got dinner for our hungry crew and then it was off to bed.

Tuesday we had our early entry day, so we got to go to the park at 9:00, it was great we went in and went straight to the dumbo ride of course all the kids loved that one, and rode the carousel, and went on Pinocchio, and by that time it was 10:00 and we wanted to hit Splash Mountain. We were disappointed because it was closed for some problem. So we went on Pirates and there wasn't a line so we stayed on the same boat for a second time around. It was great....did I mention that this was one of the best times in Disneyland EVER?!? We got fast passes for Indiana Jones and went on the Jungle Cruise, and we hit the Matterhorn. We couldn't believe that there was no line, and Kylie was tall enough so I took her and Tanner was excited because he got to go too! He ended up loving it and Kylie didn't like it at all. We got off and got Jason to come with us and went again. We somehow managed to get Kylie to go again and she helped her dad not get scared and she did a lot better on the 2nd run. We got some cotton candy....I don't know what is wrong with my kids but they don't like cotton candy too much.....must be Jason's genes. We then decided to go and hit the rockets in Tomorrowland, and some went on Star Tours, and the rest went on the Toy Story Ride. Its hard when everyone can't go on the same ride so it was great to have so many people to help out. We then wanted to go on Space Mountain. Kylie was too short, and of course Paige was too little so I went with Tanner, I was excited because I love roller coasters. Tanner didn't like the ride too much and didn't want to go with Jason.....and Randa (my sister in law) didn't want to go again so I volunteered to go help out with the extra kids. So the second time I got to sit with Landrie. We had a great time sitting in the very front! While we riding the other kids went to see the Jedi show. It was nice to sit still for a minute and the kids loved watching the Jedi training.....now Tanner thinks he needs a light saber just what I need another weapon to attack his sisters with!

We back and went on Indiana Jones and Jason and I actually got to go by ourselves without any kids it was fun and reminded me of our first trip to Disneyland. Then it was off to watch the parade....while we were waiting we were getting the election updates. Little sad about the outcome but we will see what happens.

I think that the highlight of the day was the parade....we were sitting there waiting for it to start and the kids were a little bored and decided that they should go out in the street and start to dance. It was so cute they were all out there dancing their hearts out. Even my kids that got our can't dance genes were out there dancing loved it. And when the parade started they were in awe. Even Paige loved to sit and watch all the characters walk by. We left the park after that and went and got dinner at Coco's for the 2nd night. Kylie didn't even make it through dinner before she was asleep....it was a long day but lots of fun.

Wednesday we started out at Disneyland and went to Splash mountain first. Tanner absolutely loved it. I didn't get to go on the ride with him but went with my niece Serina and she was terrified. She didn't want to go at all and then sitting watching for a while she got up the courage and I went with her. I had to hold on tight the whole time....but she did great and was glad that she at least did it once. We went on the train ride around the park, toon town, and hit a couple rides again that we loved, tried benets and then headed over to California Adventures to go on California Screamin. I was so excited to ride this one....we switched off the guys went first and then Randa and I went on. It was just like I remembered I loved every minute of it.

We got to take the kids to have lunch with the Princesses and I will just say from the very beginning Tanner said he didn't want to go. He is the only boy cousin in our group....so everyone else was excited. Snow White was the first princess to visit us and she greeted all the girls and had pictures with them and Tanner just stayed at the table not even looking at her. She came over to talk to him and he wouldn't have anything to do with it. So she gave him a little kiss on the cheek....and the rest of the time Tanner was under the table. I was laughing so hard funny kid! Kylie had to ask all of the princesses to see their shoes, and loved every minute of the lunch.
