Spring Break Vacation: March 14, Day 7

Happy Birthday Shaunton! What a sport to let us end a vacation traveling 6 hours on his birthday. What a good man.

Because I am cheap frugal, we went back to Disneyland (park hopper pass) on Shaunton's birthday. We planned it this way because if you go to Disneyland on your birthday you get in free. If you have a park hopper pass, you essentially get Disney Dollars worth the amount for the day. We Shaunton got $69, which he kindly used to buy each of his kids (he loved them at the moment...it was touch and go some of the vacation...you have kids....you know) a souvenir and his lovely pregnant starving wife a churro.

Speaking of cheap, while we were there we listened to an hour presentation on time shares (at the hotel) and got a $50 Visa card, that helped pay for the souvenirs and stuff. Nice...all the extra's were free!

Back to the story. Off the Disneyland we go. This time, we just wanted to catch the attractions we missed before. Apparently, all the good rides and stuff are on the East side of Disneyland, and the West is just kinda boring.

Shaun went on the Indian Jones ride, and we walked around, visited Tarzan's tree and went on a cheesy Winnie the Pooh ride. The kids then got to pick what last ride they wanted. So we hit up Buzz Lightyear, Star Tours and the Spinning Tea Cups.

We then went over the California Adventures to ride the Toy Story ride one last time, the jellyfish, and the roller coaster. It was a short day, but we planned it that way.

We ended the day at the Lego store, which has more Lego's then I had ever thought possible. Jaxen was in heaven.

Owen got his first pair of "ears". Which, he adores, as you can tell. He also got a ball. His favorite type of toy at the moment. It wasn't long before it had to be hidden because he kept throwing it out of the stroller.
Ember cleaned up with a cat in a carry purse (surprise choice I might add) and an Ariel dress up set. Cinderella is her favorite character, but that slip on fin sure is hard to beat. Jaxen finished off the rest of our money with a Darth Vader Lego Ship and a few Star Wars Lego figurines. All were happy and content to leave. Amazing what toys can do.

Jaxen's crazy dance on the way out.

The kids slept most of the way home, which was nice (and quiet). Owen decided he needed personal attention with about 45 minutes to go, so I ended up craned back to play with him until we got home.

Boy was it nice to get home. The kids miss our "new" home (and cable). For about a whole week after we got back, it was still in their prayers. Too cute. We did, however, decide that Disneyland is a once in three years kind a vacation.
