Disney Day 3

 IT was our final day at Disneyland.  Bart and I really wanted to make sure that the kids got to do everything THEY wanted to.  We had pretty much been on every ride, so it was just our chance to do all those things one more time.  

Here are the kids (above) with their Mickey & Minnie Mouse animals.  They are eating a nutritious breakfast of Nutrigrain bars. 

Just before the park opened.  There were Halloween decorations everywhere.  Bart LOVES Halloween and now Bubba does too!

We also got to see Mickey again.  Yes, I ran after him as he was just getting to this spot.  We were the 2nd people in line.  Sometimes it pays to be aggressive, even if it mean embarrassing your husband.  

They both love him.  (Side note:  MacKay is wearning a new Mickey shirt.  Whitney decided she wanted to re-wear her 2nd day Minnie shirt.  So, that is why she is wearing the same outfit as the day before!)  

So cute:

Our family.  

Dumbo ride:

Pirates:

Haunted Mansion:

The kids got their faces painted for freeeeee (one of the few free things in D.L.)

Jungle Cruise.  P.S.  the sign said 15 minute wait.  So we waited... and 45 minutes later we got on the boat.  Ugh!  So annoying.  Bart held Bubba the whole time while he slept. 

Then we went back to California Adventure.  Here we are in Bug's Life Land:

Waiting to get on Maeter's Ride:

And then .... 

Back to D.L.    We wanted to end our last day here.  

And we went on this ride over and over and over...  Look at Bubba cheesin it!

 It was getting late and Whitney said, "Take my picture on this bench!"  So I did.  

 Waiting for the parade:

P.S.  I found the PERFECT spot to sit.  I held our spot while Bart took the kids on a few more rides.  If you sit in this spot you are about 98% guaranteed that every character in the parade will wave at you.  It was pretty neat that they did.  Our kids LOVE the parade!

The Carousel:

Bart actually pulled out the sword.  Pretty awesome.  He must be royal.

Favorite memories of day 3:
-Whitney telling me she had to go #2 as we were getting on the Nemo ride.  We didn't quite make it to the toilet... so she went commando the rest of the day.
-Being together as a family of 4.5
-The nice cool evening- it finally was cooling off!
-Bart and Whitney got to see Rapunzel and Eugene walking through the park.
-Ice cream at McDonald's on our walk home.
-Feeling 100% satisfied that we got to do it all!

And the following morning, we packed up our hotel room and took the 10 hour drive back home:
