Disneyland Day 3

We decided to sleep in a little today, but not too much. We were up and ready to go by nine. At our hotel, they had this cute room for the kids. It was decorated like a beach and had cute little beach chairs along with a t.v. inside of a giant fake sand castle. There was always some kind of Disney cartoon playing. Every time we passed this room our kids wanted to stop and go in. We were waiting for Jana and Leslie to meet us downstairs so we let them go in and watch a cartoon while we waited. They have big seats for parents too. Brandon decided to get in a few last minutes of rest while he could. By this point both Brandon's and my feet were killing us. We will definitely be bringing more comfortable and supportive shoes the next time around.

We took our time walking through Downtown Disney on our way to the park. Along the way we stopped to take some cute pictures outside of the LEGO store. We got a really cute one of our family too, but we are saving that for our Christmas card =)



Even though we hadn't walked far, the kids were already tired of walking! We actually ended up renting a stroller that day, but before that we had to improvise.

Alexis didn't want to miss out so she talked Leslie into giving her a piggy back ride too.

We decided to head back to California Adventure, since we didn't get to do all that we wanted to do the night before. The first thing we did was go to the 3D show "It's Tough to be a Bug". It was so cool. It was one of my favorite things that we did. Here is a picture of Nana and Levi with their 3D glasses as we were waiting to be seated. For some reason my flash didn't go off, but it was to cute of a picture not to use.

Alexis and Tori had a fun time climbing around all the nooks in the walls while we waited.

After the show we headed over to the "mouse" roller coaster that Leslie had been wanting to go on. Levi didn't meet the height requirement, so him and Nana went on the "Jumping Jellyfish" ride while they waited for us. Levi loved this ride and was talking about it the rest of the day. It was just his pace! The mouse roller coaster was a little roller coaster that was quite jerky. Brandon made the comment afterwards that he felt like his little car was going to fly right off the tracks!

We went on several more rides after that. One of our favorites was the 3D Toy Story ride. It was like a big video game, and the kids loved it. That was the longest line that we stood in the whole time we were there. I think we waited for 35 minutes, which wasn't that bad! Brandon talked me into going on "California Screamin" It is a huge, fast, scary roller coaster. Brandon, Summer and I went on it together. I was so terrified throughout the whole line, but it was actually really fun! My throat hurt afterwards from screaming so much though!
After a morning full of rides, we were all really exhausted. Here is Brandon sitting in the stroller, hoping that someone will push him =)

We all sat around for a bit trying to decide what to do next. Here is a cute picture I got of Levi and Sage playing together. She is playing dead =)

We decided to call it a day early and go back to the hotel. When we got back to the hotel we ordered a pizza to be delivered to our room. It was yummy, and much cheaper then eating inside the park. After that we took a nap for a few hours. When we woke up we still weren't feeling up to walking all the way back to the park, so we decided to check out the hotel swimming pool. It was so much fun. We stayed there for a couple of hours. It was a pretty good sized pool. They also had a hot tub, baby pool, and really fun water slide. The kids probably went on that water slide at least a dozen times each. Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera down to the pool, so I didn't get any pictures =(.
After swimming we headed back to our room, and got the kids in their costumes again. At all of the Disneyland hotels they set up trick or treat stations and fun games for the kids. Even though we were pretty tired I decided to take the kids anyways. Brandon's feet were hurting him pretty bad so he decided to stay back in the room. We only made it through our hotel and half of another hotel, before the kids had enough. Levi was starting to get a sore throat and through the whole things was saying over and over, "I need some medicine!" So we decided to call it a night and head back to our hotel.

We were the most tired on day 3 of our trip, but we still had a blast!

I just read through all your Disneyland posts so far...sounds like so much fun! Even though you were so tired, your kids all look so happy all the time. I miss them! I love Levi's Spiderman costume....don't they look so cute in the big costumes and masks? We got Mason's at a place that's like K-mart called Shopko....once he saw it, it was the only thing he wanted to be. :)
