Wednesday and Thursday

Sorry no pictures....my dad still hasn't got them to me!

Wednesday we got up and went to Disneyland. It was cold and cloudy and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't that busy. We got on all the good rides with little or no wait. Kylie was so excited to wear her princess dress. It was funny how many people watched her and commented how cute. She was in heaven, although I didn't let her wear her light up princess shoes. The kids were good and Tanner had wanted to go on Splash Mountain since we told him we were going back to Disneyland. We went to Splash and I wasn't going to go so Jason and Tanner went, but Kim talked me into it riding so Trent, Kim and I went and I ended up in the front seat. I didn't think I was going to get that wet but boy was I WRONG!! I was drenched my pants were wet, my shirt was wet, and I ended up wet for the rest of the day. Half of the family left and we sent Paige back with Amy, Kim, and Mom and took the other 2 on some more rides. It was fun spending some time with Kylie while Tanner and Jason were on Thunder Mountain. We got popcorn to share and I had to make sure that I only got popcorn out of my side of the container. She was the popcorn nazi...funny girl! We went on Dumbo, the teacups,and Small World. We met up with Andrea's family and Dad and we saw the fireworks and got out of the park before the crowds. I was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Thursday we were back at Disney and we started at California Adventures and hit the Playhouse Disney show, Soarin, and Tower of Terror. It was the first time I had been on it and I loved it. The weather was nice but I skipped Grizzly Rapids. Everyone got really wet so I was glad that I missed that one. We brought our lunch in the park so we just ate while we waited for the other group to get off their ride. I had fun watching everyone go on Screamin, and Amy, Kim, Kenzie, and Steve go off Mailboomer. I loved watching them shoot in the air and watching their legs kick. California Adventures closed so we headed back to Disneyland for a few last runs. Jason took Tanner and went on the big rides while I took the crazy girls and went on a few tamer rides. We had a great time although I was ready for Jason to help me with the girls they were everywhere. I was ready to go so we left before the fireworks and hit Wendy's on the way back to the hotel. Tanner wanted to have a cheeseburger, fries, and chicken nuggets. He must be growing.
We made it back with a little drama.....Kylie didn't want to walk up the stairs she was tired. But was loving life when the kids were asleep by the time their heads hit the pillows.

Sounds like you guys had a blast! Good choice to not go on the rapids seeing that you spent the whole first day wet! I love Disney--what a great experience to have together.
