Last day in California

Our last day in California has sadly arrived! It was our fourth day at Disneyland! We started at california adventure- i waited in line for fast passes for the cars ride and jeff waited in the cars line because it was actually a semi-short wait. We joined Jeff in line and the ride kept breaking down. Multiple times while we were in line. We finally got to the front and got in our car. We got to the seatbelt check and the ride broke down again. They made us get off and gave us fast passes for later. It was kind of...annoying!!! We were there for 2 hours!!!

 The line was decorated very well- super cute!

Right as they were kicking us off...Maci didn't understand yet...

 None of us had breakfast before and it was lunch by the time we escaped! I was a little hangry... So after we ate we went to the tower of terror and i grabbed fast passes and then we went to the muppet 3d show. I just think it's so cute and hilarious. Some one as in florida, and just a fun show! After the muppets i went on the Tower of Terror twice and then met the Hales at the cars ride and we rode that twice with our fast passes. I then went on screaming by myself and met back up for dinner.

 These two were taken during the ride and i just love the wonder and awe on her face!

 Maci and Ashton are there, i swear!

At dinner we were greeted by some special guests!

 Maci was very shy, but so excited to see all of them!

It took some convincing to get her picture taken.

After dinner we went back to disneyland and got Indiana Jones fast passes and then went to fantasy land for the Snow White ride- which is just awful! It ends unresolved... What?! It was stupid. Then we went on dumbo which the kids were most excited for and the matterhorn and this time Maci got to ride! 

 The only cool part about the Snow White ride-

if you touch the apple, the witch cackles

After all that we went on Star Tours and then I took the kids to the Winnie the Pooh ride and Jeff and Katie went on Haunted Mansion. The kids LOVED the winnie the pooh ride!!! So we went again! :) We met back up at Indiana Jones for our fast passes. Katie, Ashton and I went - we FINALLY convinced ashton to try the ride again and he agreed! We were the next group on the ride when it broke down. We were about to be devestated that one of our favorite rides and our last of the night would be closed when we were so close!!! But we waited it out and finally got to ride! And that was the end. I said goodbye to one of the happiest places on earth!

Days 3 - 5 in Cali-forn-i-a

Day three has arrived and my feet feel like they got some rest, but not enough. But that doesn't matter, because another day at disneyland has arrived! We started our day at the happiest place on earth with Haunted Mansion. I... miss the normal ride. I'm not a fan of the Nightmare before Christmas, so i didn't care for the ride at all. We then went on splash mountain, and i didn't really want to go because i didn't want to get wet. I was convinced in going because there was some rumor that they lower the water levels in the fall and all this stuff. I don't believe that rumor...I was a good amount of soaked. Thankfully, this day was nice and hot so i dried quickly and i kept my feet dry. After the ride we saw Winnie the Pooh, tigger and eyore taking pictures so we hopped in line! I have always loved Winnie the Pooh. My first time to disneyland, the only souvenirs i bought were winnie the pooh stuff. I currently have a stuffed eyore that i bought in Ohio... :)

Met these guys first thing

The kids were always excited about meeting a character,

but when it came to actually seeing them and wanting

their autograph, they couldn't do it.

I tried to help by doing it with them.

 I love that Maci wanted to be in the front...

Her face= classic!!!

After this we used fast passes for Indiana Jones right before it closed down for almost the whole day. Phew. Then we waited for the Jungle Cruise and had lunch; this day was quite a bit busier. Bigger crowds all day. We rode on space mountain (everyone for the first time) and then went to Jedi Training and Star Tours.

This Maci face is my favorite...haha

After all that fun, i went over to california adventure by myself and got fast passes for Tower of Terror and rode by myself. Made my way to Screamin and rode that alone. Had dinner with the Hale's and finished the night by using my fast pass for tower of terror.

Can you find me???

How about now?

Day four has arrived! After waiting around in the hotel for hours for my friend to pick me up, we finally went to Huntington Beach for lunch and ocean happiness! I love the ocean. I could be there an entire day and i would never be bored or unhappy. After the beach i was dropped off back at the hotel room and spent the night by myself... (it was as lame as it sounds). But i watched some shows, went to the hot tub and watched the disneyland fireworks from the balcony. (The Hale's went to LegoLand and i just couldn't do another theme park). 

Day five we got up and got ready for church! After church we decided to spend another beautiful day at Huntington Beach. We played in the water, made sand castles, buried Maci and gave her fins and i said a goodbye to the ocean for awhile. I get attached to things that make me as happy as the ocean does. After the ocean we went back and freshened up and spent the evening walking through downtown disney and the shops!

 I loved this Mosaic wall. 

 The Lego Store in downtown Disney was amazing

All out of Legos! So cool!
