Disney Day 3!

Our last day we spent just at Disneyland park again - we did everything we wanted to do in California Adventure on the first day there.  We had a list of places and things we wanted to see and do before heading home the next day.  The last day always makes me sad!

First up, we had an appointment for Claire to get all fancy at Bippity Boppity Boutique - so the boys quickly headed off to ride some rides just them - which included Small World (because Jake says it's his favorite) and Mr. Toads Wild Ride (which is one of Ben's favorites)

The girls and I waited and waited - it took a while to finally have Claire's name called to head in to get her hair and makeup done - she was SO excited and took this experience very seriously... haha

Getting her nails done while finishing up her princess hair do :)

This picture makes me smile so much!

Sparkly pink eyeshadow!

At the end, they turned Claire around and opened the curtains to see into the magic mirror - it was adorable - the mirror made special magical fairy sounds and it sparkled and grew flowers...

Trying on her Belle dress that she chose... what a cutie!

After the princess boutique, we headed to the Jedi training at Tomorrowland- Claire, Becca, and I saved a spot on the floor up front (which you need to do if you want a shot at having your kids getting picked in the Jedi Training show).  Ben took Emma and Jake to the Innoventions building where they met Captain America!

We got lucky and Becca AND Emma got picked for Jedi training. Jake didn't want to do it!  A couple of years ago, he was so scared of having to fight Darth Vader- haha

      Then we headed to the Star Wars shop and Ben helped Jake build his own lightsaber.

And Princess Claire naptime :)

Off to Toon Town!  We've started a tradition of getting Jake's picture in the chair at Mickey's House...

Minnie's House...

Disneyland is full of a lot of line waiting... here's some waiting for Gadget's Go Coaster...

Our day was quickly winding to a close - we stopped in Frontierland so Ben could play at the shooting gallery - one of his fave Disneyland things :) 

We ate dinner at the Mexican restaurant in Fronteirland (very good!!) - then before leaving we stopped into Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.  I loved this map of the original Disneyland park...

Bye bye Disneyland!  We'll be back!
