Fall Break Vacation Day 2: Disneyland

We decided that we liked Disneyland so much, it had to stay in the vacation rotation. So, this was first on our list because we could get a cheap motel close. We didn't get the fancy digs until Monday night. So, we stayed at a little place called The Little Boy Blue Motel and walked to Disneyland.

Owen was the lucky potawan this year. He got picked to go up and get trained in the Jedi way. Jaxen was bummed, but I wasn't too upset as he had the experience the last time along with Ember.

 So, needless to say, he has a little bit of a shaky start, but stood his own when it came time to go up against the big guy, Darth Vader.
 Fighting evil Sith Lords is hard work, who wouldn't blame a Jedi for taking a much needed break?
 Right before this battle we had eaten lunch, so afterward we were ready to head off for some more fun.
Why not picture of all the kids?
Missing one you say?
Oh, here he is... throwing a fit. Not the first or the last. We has just gotten off the teacups, and apparently 2 minutes of spinning was not enough. He cried after having to get off this ride, the carousel, and the Buzz ride. I don't remember any of the other kids getting so attached. 
Oh look, he is happy again. Remember, this is short lived.
Here we are standing in a hour and a half line for a lame haunted house. Wish I new that before I waited.
Started off happy, one hour in, not so much.
It's Halloween, even Mickey's wearing a mask!
 
Day 2 is over and we are still smiles.

Jaxen's favorites: Star Tours, Indian Jones, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Ember's favorites: Teacups, Carousel, and Buzz ride (noticing a trend)
Owen's favorites: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (really, on the ride you seemed scared out of your mind!), Carousel, and Tarzan's Tree house
Kaysen's favorites: Teacups, Carousel, Buzz ride (cried after each) and Tarzan's Tree house

Souveniers:
Jaxen- Yoda shirt that reads "Judge me by my size, do you?" Shows Yoda trying to get on a ride and not being tall enough, even with his Mickey ears.
Owen - A Buzz Lightyear "nerf" gun.
Kaysen - His first Mickey ears

I can't even imagine taking Payton here and trying to explain the end of a ride or a line for a ride to him. I'll wait a year or so...
