California trip Day 3

Our first ride of the day "Mr. Toad's wild ride". 

Tea cups. yup. Not a chance you'll see me in one of those. I remember when I was little and my mom wouldn't go on it. I just thought she wasn't fun. Little did I know how sick one spin could make a woman! :) 

It's a good thing they have a Dad who is more than happy to try to be the fastest spinning tea-cup on the floor.

Small world ride. Went on this several times. 

Small world story: While Tyler was napping and Dan was taking the others on a big kid ride, I was checking my e-mail on my phone. I was facing a wall, sunglasses on, and nose close to my phone. I heard some voices and some guy say "Hey, I think that's my cousin." I happened to look up to find my cousin Stetson standing there! It's been probably 10+ years since I've seen him, and I was surprised he recognized me. He lives in Utah, I have MANY cousins on my dad's side, most of who are 10 years or more older than me. 

Anyway, I thought it was pretty neat. :)

Getting into the submarine

"descending" in the water 

Tyler was fine...until it went completely dark. 

I had several friends tell me that the "training to be a Jedi" show is a must. There are about 13 kids that get picked to "train", and I read a tip somewhere that you should wear bright clothes.  So, I made Michael this shirt:

 

He got lots of comments about it, which he acted embarrassed about, but I knew he loved the attention. :)

It worked! He was so excited

 

Chelsea was too. :) 

First they teach the kids how to fight with a light saber. 

Then Darth Vader and Darth Mahl show up and the kids each have to "battle" them. 

Here Michael is in action:

Chelsea's favorite ride was Autopia. I was her passenger and decided that Dan will be helping her with Driver's education. :)

For some reason they wanted a picture with this indian. Notice Michael's kissy lips?

Splash Mountain! 

We hit this ride at the perfect time of day. There was zero line! I think they went on it 4 or 5 times that night. 

They loved it....

well...Brinly....not so much. :)

Chelsea and I were trying to act bored for the picture. 

Mickey's soundsational parade

Look! Belle is blowing my Brinly a kiss! 

see?! It made my princess' day

The costumes were amazing!

Brinly kept telling me to take pictures of all the pretty dresses. What a fun job to have!

Tiana is the only princess we didn't get to meet.

We also didn't meet Tinkerbelle or her friends, so this has to be good enough. :)

Another great day of Magic and fun!
