Day 165 FRIDAY!

WOW!  Again with so many happy moments today! My head is swimming with them all!  I will start by saying that It's a Small World was OPEN today, and that moment of taking my boys on that ride and watching Connor as his jaw hung open the ENTIRE time was so neat!  He kept looking around at it all, pointing out animals or simply saying "wow!" I loved it!
So we began day two of our fun adventure.  Now, David and I had talked and said it would be SO nice to be able to stay at the Disneyland Hotel for one more night.  Especially since the boys would be so tired today and would need naps.  Well, we got a piece of paper in our check out paperwork that invited us to stay for about 60 percent off the cost of the room!  Yea for staying during the off season!  So the boys....and we....had a place to take a much needed nap, and continue the rest of our fun day!
Disney Junior, live on stage was a favorite with them today.  Connor would not stop asking for the "horse" ride and "elephant" ride ALL day!  Joel wanted to do Star Tours over and over again.
We ate at the Blue Bayou for dinner tonight as well.  We haven't eaten there in YEARS, but it was so fun to see Joel GET that we were at the restaurant that we always pass by on Pirate's ride.  The food was AMAZING as well!
After dinner, we ran into my cousins that live in Utah!  What are the odds of that?!  It was so nice to see them, catch up, and make some plans on visiting them this summer...too fun!
The fireworks were cancelled due to crazy windy weather, so off to Star Tours David and Joel went, and I did my first date night with a single guy at Disneyland in YEARS!  He has good taste too :-) We went on Finding Nemo and Autopia or "car...beep beep" ride as he called it.
We got to walk back to our room, tired as ever, and all fall asleep quickly!  It was such a great day today....again!  We had the best family together time we have had in a long while. LOL I kept telling everyone "NO ER visits on this trip!" Can't imagine why I would be so paranoid as to say that lol.
It was just so neat to have everyone together, spending quality time.  Joel is growing up!  Can't believe he was tall enough to ride some of the rides.  It was fun to end our night at Disneyland in the Tiki room.  My grandma used to take me there.  As I sat there with the boys I could HEAR her singing some of the songs.  It is amazing that a fourth generation is now enjoying Disneyland....so many happy moments!
