Disneyland...third times a charm!

Disneyland here we come...again! So we decided to hit Disneyland one last time before we left southern California but this time we would stay the whole day as a family. We woke the kids up around 6:30a.m. and got them fed and dressed and headed out the door. I had to snap this quick picture of the twins. When I went in their room to wake them up this is what I found. Statton was at the end of Cassidy's bed passed out. I had no idea when he crawled into bed with her because he was tucked away in his own bed when I checked on them the night before. It was pretty funny.









This was part of the jungle cruise. It was one of the first rides we decided to hit that morning. Since we had already seen the princesses and some other characters the last two times we wanted to just hit rides. The kids and I on the Tarzan attraction. Which Blair keenly pointed out to me that it use to be the Swiss Family Robinson Tree house.





For some reason when you go to Disneyland you just feel the need to do the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. In hindsight I wouldn't have let the kids go. The twins were ok but some of the loud noises they didn't care for but they didn't act freaked out with the creepy pirates and stuff. Madison on the other hand didn't like it when it got dark and she started crying when we went through the part where they were shooting fake cannonballs. Needless to say she was not a fan and I felt like an idiot parent for taking my small kids on such a ride. Live and learn...mental note made.





I believe this was the Winnie the Pooh ride. Super cute and the twins loved it.


My two favorite boys!


I believe both Madison and Cassidy had passed out at this point and only Statton was awake and he really wanted to ride the teacups. Since Blair gets motion-sickness easy with things like that he opted to stay with the sleeping girls while I took Statton on the teacups. He laughed the whole time and enjoyed spinning the teacup. Fun memories with my boy!


I think this hands-down was my favorite kid ride. The buzz lightyear ride. The kids enjoyed it and so did us adults. You get to ride around and try and shoot the aliens. I know the kids really liked it because they wanted to go again.





We took a break and got some frozen lemonades and went and found a spot on the sidewalk to watch the parade. The kids loved the frozen lemonades, even Madison was digging in but had a hard time with her spoon and the frozen lemonade. They were all sticky messes by the time they finished those but a great refresher on such a hot hot day! I didn't get a picture of it but Cassidy was so sweet and would get herself a bite and then get a scoop for Madison and feed her. Super sweet and it was so cute to watch. I beleive at one point Statton was standing by the stroller and Cassidy was feeding everyone a turn of lemonade.





Madison enjoyed the parade along with the other kids. Cassidy was a little busy stuffing her face at this moment.

















Well we finished off our day going to toontown and riding the rollercoaster which the kids thought was way fun. We then went and waited in line for Dumbo and rode that at the kids request. They enjoyed all the rides and were a little sad to go. This is Statton sitting in the Dumbo ride waiting to go. We had such a fun day with minimum whining or Blair and I having to get after the kids. I thought it was so nice and glad we were finally able to make a full day of it together as a family. We decided though to wait until the kids were much older before we took them again. Then we can ride the really fun rides!
