Disney again!

Today was a special day at Disneyland again! We went to Disneyland with our good friends and neighbors the Rasi-Koskinens. Their daughter Kirsi is Brynn's best friend. How cool is that! Who goes to Disneyland with their best friend at the age of 5?! We also teach their other daughter Kaylee at church. We just LOVE their kids. It was so much fun being with them. We had a great day.




Right off we got to see Suzy Mouse
from Cinderella. We didn't get to
see Cinderella at all! Surprisingly
Brynn wasn't all that upset about it.






Yesterday Brynn REALLY wanted to go on the Dumbo ride but it was SOOOOOO long and not so easy to get Samantha in one of the elephants so we didn't go. I promised her it would be the first ride we went on. Sure enough she remembered and off we went to ride flying elephants.
We did the teacups again.

Then it was off to Pirate Island to find Captain Jack Sparrow. As we docked on the island I realized we left the autograph books in the stroller instead of in the bag I had. RRRRRR! I sent Joe back to get them. The island was SOOOOOOO cool! I wish we had spent more time there. We lost Ry for a bit. There were these caves all over that went everywhere. The kids had a blast! They all had to go potty so we sat out side the rest room waiting for them.

I called Joe to see where he was. He was just getting back so I told him if he finds Captain Jack to call and we'll come running. I ended the call and looked up just as Captain Jack came out of the employee area! How lucky was that?! The kids were SOOOOOOO excited! We got great pictures of him. He was a great Captain Jack. You would almost think it was Johnny Depp. He took Katya's little purse thing and shook it by his ear and kept it and kept walking away. TOO funny! I forgot to get my picture with him. I was sad at the end of the day...



We headed over to California Adventures and stopped for lunch near Bug Land then headed over there to see the bug show. It was really cute! The 3D glasses made you look like you had a bug face. As we ventured further into Bug Land we saw Princess Atta. Brynn and Kirsi were so excited!

We went on the lady bugs and the bumper bugs. The line for the last one said 20 min. We were in line for nearly an hour and it wasn't a very easy line to get back out of so we just stayed. We got to the front and realized we didn't have enough adults to take all the kids on the ride. So Ryan got to ride with a Disney person! He thought he was so cool.

When we came out of the ride we couldn't' find G-ma! We looked all over bug land. No G-ma! I stopped a security officer and gave him her description and our phone numbers. After that Joe went one way and I went another. We were going to miss our Princess dinner if we didn't find her soon. About 10 min later Joe found her. Crazy G-ma! She really thought we had just left and gone on with out her.













We made it on time for our special princess dinner. It was so amazing. The food was crap but to see the kids' faces when they got the special attention from each princess it was awesome! Ryan REALLY liked Belle. He showed her a "neat trick". He did a forward roll on the floor in the middle of the restaurant. He couldn't stop talking to her! It was SO cute!





Joe and I then Joe and Tay went on the California Screamin'. That was a blast. It was Tay's Favorite ride! The kids rode the merry go round and then we headed back to Disneyland. As we left the kids asked for cotton candy so Joe got some. The lady asked Ryan to say "Thanks Scallywag"(he was wearing his pirate ears) He did and she gave him a free cotton candy! He was so proud of that cotton candy!

We wanted to go on Pirates again and see how the line for Indiana Jones was. As we walked in we saw Mickey, Minnie(again), Donald and Goofy(again). Ryan was beside himself. He saw the 2 people he wanted to.

We rode Pirates again and then headed back to the condo. We waved good by to the Happiest Place on Earth. We will go back again soon.
