More Disneyland!!!

After Pirates of the Caribbean we headed straight to Splash Mountain. Joli was so excited, and the wait was only about ten minutes!!
 
Here we are in our log!
Then headed up a hill!! Joli said "Mom are you crazy?!?!? Put your phone away!!". I could have died laughing!
While we were on Splash Mountain, Joe and Markus went on Winnie the Pooh. When they came out Joe found Markus a hat that he loved!

Next we went to the Jungle Cruise ride, which is another of my favorites. This line was a little longer (almost twenty minutes), but we made the most of it.


Markus certainly enjoyed the Jungle Cruise.

We didn't really have much of an objective for the day, so we decided to wander to Fantasyland.


Markus could not figure out why the sword wasn't coming out!




Markus really REALLY wanted to ride on Dumbo and did not want to have to wait (a whole 10 minutes).




The only way Markus went peacefully off of Dumbo was with the promise of a train ride. So we got on Casey Jr.


Joli always wants to go on the Teacups but I don't do spinning, so Joe went with her.
They got out just in time for the parade!



After the parade Markus was pretty wiped, so Joe took Joli on the Matterhorn and Space Mountain while I cuddled with the boy.
After Joe and Joli were done Markus was awake, so we went to see if Joli was tall enough for Indiana Jones. Sadly she wasn't, but we had a good time in Tarzan's Treehouse.

We didn't really have anything else that we absolutely had to do, and the Mark Twain steamboat was loading up for another cruise, so we hopped on!
Markus made a new friend. "My mommy".
Joli waving at the "Indian Tribe" along the shore.
After the boat ride we headed to Downtown Disney to meet my mom and Dylan for dinner! It was great to see them, and we got to have yummy Mexican food and margaritas! The kids were super excited to see them, and ended up dancing and playing to the music after we ate (I tried to get some pictures but it had gotten too dark). After we said our good byes, we headed to the Disney store so we could all pick out a little souvenir. On the way we stopped to check out the moon.

 Markus really wanted one of the cheap Cars light up toys, and since he had already gotten a hat, we figured why not?!
Joli has so many pretty princess dolls that Joe refused to buy her another one, so she picked out an awesome doll instead! (Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas)
Markus held on the his Cars toy until his eyes closed. Joli was asleep before we hit the freeway!
It really was such an awesome day!! It wasn't too crowded, the heat was manageable, the kids were pretty good, and we went without an expectations. It was the perfect day!!
