A Day at Disney

Logan spent the night with us Friday night at the hotel after the wedding, so we could take him to Disneyland the next day.  He was up bright and early, so he climbed in bed with Kendra and I until he got way too goofy! We got up, dressed and had breakfast before heading off to Disney.

Man...I forgot what it's like having a little kid ride next to me in the car! It reminded me of when Kendra was little and used to drive us crazy. He enjoyed playing "copy cat". Kendra and I got even by singing about 30 verses of "There's a Hole in my Bucket", which drove him crazy!

Heading into the park. I always have to have a castle shot!

First we did the ultra cheesy Jungle Cruise. Then we did Indiana Jones, which was the first time I had gone on that. For some reason Logan kept his head down the whole time on that one! He had dad go up in the Tarzan tree with him, and then came down and exclaimed, "Well THAT was boring!!" Then we went over to the Haunted Mansion. One of my favorites! Logan hadn't been through it before, but I think he really enjoyed it too! We also did Pirates of the Caribbean and I spent the rest of the day walking around singing, "A Pirate's Life for Me!"

By that point Kendra and I were starving...and when we get hungry we get grouchy! We ended up getting some Mexican food and pigging out on that before doing Thunder Mountain. In line there's water that people throw money in. Logan asked for some change, so I did my aunt duties and pulled out a few pennies for him.

For some reason mom decided to ride on it too. From the past I remember her hating it, but I didn't say anything. I ended up riding with her and we got to the end and in a dead serious voice she says, "Why did you let me ride this? Don't you EVER let me ride this again." Hahaha!

As we were walking through the park I spotted Woody and Jesse. Toy Story is my FAVORITE Pixar movie! Kendra and I ran to jump in line, and we had to coax Logan to come up with us. You would've thought we were the little kids.

Logan quickly discovered that he could con his new Grandma into just about anything.

Along with lunch, he made out with a churro, hot chocolate, cotton candy and a comic book! Grand kids get all the good stuff!

Then we went and did some of the Fantasy Land rides.

Dad and Logan did the teacups. Kendra and I had just come back from riding Space Mountain...my very favorite Disney ride.

Kendra with the cotton candy. We all ended up sharing it.

It was starting to look like rain and we had hopper tickets. I really wanted to get over to California Adventure and take dad, Kendra and Logan on Soarin'.

We got there, got in line and the rain started to fall. It was only in the 50's that day, so the rain made us even colder, but I wouldn't let them get out of line. I promised them it was way too cool! If they would've gotten out of line, I would have stayed. I love it that much!

Plus I finally worked up the courage to ride the Tower of  Terror! The 4 of us rode that together too. Logan sat in between Kendra and I. He asked if I was scared and I said I was. Then he wanted to hold our hands. Afterward he thought it was awesome, and said, "You and Kendra were squeezing my hands really hard!" Guess we were more scared than he was!

Then the rain started REALLY hard. We decided just to call it a day. We busted out the ponchos mom brought and headed back to the shuttle.

We had to grab some supper and then went back to the hotel to eat it. Logan passed out on me on the way back and dad had to carry him upstairs.

After we ate, we drove Logan back home and Kendra and I stayed to hang out with Erica. Kendra had to be up early the next day to catch her flight, but we still stayed until about 11:45. It was much needed sister time and we don't get that nearly enough!
