Okay, I figure I better hurry and write our trip down, or I'm going to forget everything! I have been really busy! Life has taken over!
The second day was our first day at Disneyland. The kids were so excited! They woke up early and were up and ready without having to be asked twice (a miracle, I tell ya). We were able to ride a shuttle fro our hotel, so that was nice. When we finally saw the park from the road the kids couldn't hold back anymore. I think Kate even let out this LOUD squeal of excitement.
The first part of the park we went to was Tomorrow land, in fact we spent most of the day there. The boys wanted to go on the Star Wars Tours ride. We went to to get on and to our surprise Becca was not big enough to ride the ride. She had to be 40" tall, she was s39". She and Dustin went on another one that was close while the rest of us waited in line.
We then went to get on another ride and saw that Bec couldn't ride that one either! We thought, "we didn't come all this way, spend all this money to do things separately. What are we going to do?" (This is where I explain why we only got as far as Tomorrow land.)
Dustin had an idea that if we stick something in her shoes, she would be taller. Well, we had water bottles and food, that's about all. So, we took the caps off the bottles and stuck them in her shoes. She was still coming up short. We had to do something else. We noticed her shoe didn't have much of a sole, so we needed to to buy new shoes. We got back on the shuttle and got in our car to find the closest shoe store. Found some great soled shoes, put the lid in with a sock over them for comfort, and headed back to the theme park. We measured her and she was just the right size! (Keep in mind this took a lot less time to write than the actual events. Seriously we lost about 2 hrs out of the day. Yes we did have to answer questions wondering if this was cheating. Oh the guilt!).
When we got back we noticed the park was A LOT busier, but oh well, now we could all have fun together! We hurried as fast as possible to make up time. We did pretty good. We stayed till it closed and were able to do a lot of rides in the evening.
By night time we made it into Fantasy land and Toon Town. Toon Town was one of the kids favorite. They had a lot of cute rides. I have tons of pics, but not enough time to put them in a collage, so I shrunk them in size to fit more.

The Carousal, our last ride! The kids at the front gate! You can't tell, but all the
