Disney Day 4

Wow, we survived 3 days at Disneyland with 2 four year olds and a cranky sick almost 2 year old. We were so thankful that Uncle J and Aunt Cory were with us to help. They left early this morning with our suitcases and it was us flying solo with the kids. I was slightly nervous, but we had a fun day planned.
We headed into the park and hit up my favorite Peter Pan. We stayed in Fantasy Land and rode the rest of the rides and Alice in Wonderland which we didn't have a chance to ride the other days. The sky above us was getting very dark and I was getting very nervous. The forecast did not show any rain early so I sent all ponchos home with Uncle J and Aunt Cory earlier.
We managed to make it Toon Town to meet Mickey and play in all the houses in Toon Town. It was cute to get some pictures of the boys playing. I have photo of Caden when he was little at the very same piano that Jackson and Caden were playing at today -PRECIOUS. After our visit with Mickey the sky was not agreeing with us and the rain came down. I am thinking Toon Town is cursed. That is the same place we were when it poured the other day.


 We found some cover for our strollers and hopped on the Disneyland train. We had the sweetest conductor and we rode the train round trip. It was a fun ride and I was able to ask the conductor so many questions about Disneyland. Just as we were getting off the train the rain stopped and it was off to Pirates. After Pirates the boys and girls split up and I took Emmeline to her SURPRISE! We managed to book an appointment at the Bippity Boppity Boutique. Emmeline was treated to her own fairy godmother who did her nails, hair, and make-up. It was precious and made this mama want to cry. It was adorable listening to the godmother talk to her and ask her questions. At the end the big reveal included a magical mirror that made magical twinkle sounds and a fairy dusting in the hair.
While the girls were being dusted in fairy dust the boys went to Jedi training. Poor Caden was not picked. He did really good about not getting picked this whole trip. We are going to have to read up on tips to get picked for next visit.



We said good-bye to Disneyland and headed to Downtown Disney for one last meal before we hit the road. We were excited to have some extra special visitors. JD and Rachele were in town staying with Amanda. So sweet Callen, Amanda, JD, and Rachele met us for lunch. We enjoyed a nice non-fast food lunch before we hit the road for long drive. We timed it perfectly and Jackson was asleep this time for the Grapevine. In fact all three kids were out before we even got out of Anaheim. It was a magical trip. It was so nice to share it with so many friends. The kids and me included can not wait to go back.
