when I asked someone to take our Family picture in front of the castle, Jason says to me as we're smiling "I know that person" and so when we retrieved our camera they realized the Gentleman from a local store which Jason used to call on - what a small world!
and yet another ride on the teacups, just Gabi and I - her choice was a purple one:
Then over to CA. Here's the Mulholland Drive which reminded me of Mousetrap from our local amusement park, though this one was nice and smooth not rickety like Mousetrap.
Gabi's laughing her head off in the ladybug mixer type ride:

We left the park by 2:30 and got back to our hotel to catch a cab to the airport. We allowed the kids to pick one toy as a "souvineer" from Disneyland... (all the shirts you've seen the kids wear were bought ahead of time for cheap cheap). Sam chose a Buzz Lightyear astro gun thing
and Elijah chose a Slinky Bank
Our flight was at 6:00 and landing at 8:30pm - I thought the kids might be tired out from our week and sleep, but fat chance of that! Here's how I had to keep Sam busy at one point because in fact he was tired, but not allowing himself to relax... he played photographer for awhile:
As we were touching down both Sam and Gabi decided to fall asleep - now talk about a challenge getting 2 sleeping kids out of the plane with 5 backpacks and 4 suitcases (we don't check our bags)! We managed - next time I'm going to bring melatonin (spelling?) and that should do the trick.Great trip! We told the kids we'd go again in 2 years - for Sam who doesn't get time at all yet, has asked a number of times already if it's "2 sleeps til we go to Disneyland". So they loved it and can't wait to go again! Me too! (and yea, I finished blogging about it!! Woohoo!)
