Disneyland Day 3

We had a little hiccup in our Disneyland plans, it rained on Tuesday and we decided rather than try to drag the kids through the rain to go to IKEA and a movie for the day.  We had a great time at IKEA and saw Chipwrecked.  It was a fun day and Wednesday the weather was perfect.  The only problem is we had to have everything packed and ready to go because we had to drive straight home after a day at Disney.

 We started the day seeing a few characters, and then went on the Alice in Wonderland ride which Taylor hated and then went over to Mr. Toads wild ride.  This was the result: Bawling like babies!  I didn't remember the ride and thought it was pretty fun, the girls not so much.
 After the Mr Toad's fiasco we decided to split up and conquer.  Because it was our last day we had a list of things we would like to get in.  The boys wanted to ride the Thunder Mountain Railroad ride and Pirates again.  The girls and I decided to ride the merry go round which you think would be safe but Hayden got a huge goose egg when the turnstile hit her in the head.
 We decided to give up on rides and go up to meet the princesses which was more fun for both girls.
 We finished lunch at Disneyland and went over to ride the Monsters ride in California and also watched the Muppets 3-D movie.  It is so nice to be able to watch these now without Tyson freaking out like he used to!
 Tyson developed a love for the Tower of Terror and went on it twice.  Mark said his heart couldn't take it and sat out the second time.  Then we all went up to a bug's life area and rode their fun rides.
 Our last ride of the day was the new Toy Story ride.  The kids love it! 
 Here are our final photos of the trip, they pretty much sum it up.  There were a lot of smiles...
 ...a few hiccups...
 ...and a lot of, "alright that's over, what next?"
It was a really fun trip and we are glad that we got to go before our new little addition makes her way here.
