Disneyland trip..Part 3!

We actually woke up, an hour late.  Oh well, there's only so much you can do when your partying hard!  I rushed over to Princess Fantasy Fare to line up first thing.  Curtis actually got up on time and left earlier with the 3 oldest.  He wanted to ride the Matterhorn that had been closed the previous 2 days.  Saturday is a very busy day so he had to get there.  The boys didn't think it was too exciting but Emery liked it.  Then they headed over to our area and the boys were good sports waiting in line with us..well, for most of the time.  Meeting the princesses is one of my most favorite parts.  You never know which ones are going to be around the corner!  So it was exciting to meet Cinderella, Aurora, and Snow White, the 3 classics!

On our way out we noticed that the princesses were rotating.  Aw, too bad because Ariel is Ella's favorite.  I was glad to get a picture of her though.  I love her green dress and flower/starfish!  Also, we caught a glimpse of Tiana's dress but couldn't get a decent picture.  She is all of the girls' favorites!  Too bad!  We got excited, so Ella and I lined up again while Curtis took the other 4 into Toon Town to ride the mini rollercoaster.  Just as Ella and I were near the front of the line, there came a lull.  I could tell the princesses were rotating once again.  SAD!  So, as it was our turn for the second time, as we came around the corner we discovered that Snow White and Aurora were both back.  Snow White remembered us and was as kind as ever.  We bypassed Aurora and went straight to Jasmine.  She noticed and asked us if we wanted to meet Aurora.  Too funny!

At the exit of the princesses they have souvineer shop.  Here is a lovely royal looking princess bench at the store showing off our lovely princesses!  Ella got caught up in the magic and bought an Ariel polly pocket doll package.  Each of the kids had their own money and had fun picking something out that day to take home.

It was neat running into some of our favorite characters in Toon Town!

Pluto was a hard one to catch.  He was busy jumping and drinking the water!

I love this picture of my 6 children :)  There's nothing like eating junk food in Toon Town!

We met up with the Houskeepers in Critter Country.  Ella and Luke love being goofy together!

We were getting very hot and tired after lunch, so we decided to head back to the hotel for a swim and rest.   It was wonderful to gain some down time.  I just love these shots of my blue eyed beauties in the pool.  After swimming Evey zonked for a few hours.

We then freshened up and met the Houskeepers in California Adventure for the pixar parade.  It was really cute.  We are hanging out here while some of the group went on Soarin' Over California.  It was fun to just chill and visit for a few minutes!  We had dinner at the tasty Pilot's Grill. Mmmm!

These girls are excited for this new Under the Sea adventure.  We'll just have to go back to check it out!

Now it was time to fit in all the rides again before the park closed at 9.  This one had to be tested one last time.  Does the pose look staged or what!

Since it was the last day, the kids had to finish their shopping.  As I was in the bathroom with Evey and Curtis was helping Emery and Carter, Caden had picked out his toys, taken them up to the till and payed for them all on his own.  However, he was short a few pennies and I guess the lady helping him told him not to worry about it and that she would cover it.  Caden told us about this since it was weighing on his conscience.  He didn't feel good about leaving her short.  So he asked his dad for the pennies that he could repay her with. Well, she was so impressed with his honesty, that she had to present him with this "Honorary Citizen's Badge".  I was very grateful to her for building him up and telling him what wonderful qualities he had.  Caden was grinning from ear to ear and ofcourse we felt a little proud!  Way to go Caden.

Carter and I weren't done yet.  Disneyland stayed open until midnight so he and I stayed to get in as much as we could!  So with soar feet, and aching bodies, we ran through the park and got on Splash Mountain 2x, Thunder Mountain 2x, Star Tours and a few little rides in Fantasyland.  We got popcorn and yummy churros!  I loved just being with Carter.  He was so funny planning out each step of the way and kept mentioning the count down to the closing of the park since it was a our last day there.  He loves it so much and has talked about it everyday since we've been back.  It sure is a place you never want to leave.  So, goodbye Disneyland.  We hope to meet you again, SOON!
