On Tuesday morning we headed to Disneyland first thing in the morning. We got there right when it opened at 9 am. Our first ride was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I went on it with the boys and then Pete convinced Shaylee to go on it with him and the boys. She didn't like it too much, but I was proud of her for giving it a try. We then went over to Pirates of the Caribbean and rode that. It was so much fun that everyone could go on it together. I don't remember the exact order of all of our rides that day, but here are some of the ones we went on and how we felt about them: Astro Orbiter (Good), Buzz Light year Astro Blasters (Fun), Dumbo (Jaron's favorite), Tea Cups (Shaylee loved), Splash Mountain (LOVED), Space Mountain (I loved), It's a Small World (Classic- Maycee fell asleep and napped for a few hours after this one), Winnie the Pooh (great for little kids), Tom Sawyer Island (OK), Star Tours (Kids loved, Made Pete sick), Tarzan's tree house (Boring), Indiana Jones (FUN), and the Jungle Cruise (liked). We also saw Captain EO starring Michael Jackson. My kids love Michael Jackson so they thought it was great. Shaylee, Kenyon and I all walked through Sleeping Beauty's castle. That was really fun. I love Sleeping Beauty.
Jaron was sick on this day, so he spent a lot of it curled up in the stroller. He did go on the rides we could all go on together and Dumbo. He really liked Dumbo. He was just tall enough to be able to ride Star Tours and he liked it a lot, too. He loves Star Wars, so it was right up his alley. Splash Mountain was a favorite of Brandon, Kenyon, Pete and Mine. Shaylee went on it, but was not a fan. The last hill was too much for her. I really liked Space Mountain and so did Brandon and Kenyon. But, Shaylee hated it and Pete was still feeling sick from Star Tours, so it wasn't his favorite. Pirates of the Caribbean was a favorite, too.
On our way from the Tea Cups to Star Tours, Kenyon got lost for about 20 minutes. It was pretty scary. We looked for him by ourselves for about ten minutes and then we got security to help. We FINALLY found him just walking casually towards us like nothing was amiss! I was so upset when I realized that while we were getting fast passes for Star Tours he decided to go on Astro Blasters by himself. He didn't go just once either. He went TWICE! We had a nice little chat with all of our kids about how we don't go anywhere by ourselves or without telling mom and dad. Thank heavens it turned out alright, but he probably took ten years off my life by doing that.
We ate dinner at Denny's across the street from D.L. because it is just so much cheaper to go out and eat than to stay in the park. The food is so expensive! We stayed until the park closed and then we headed back to our hotel and crashed! It was full and fun day.

Reminds me of my honeymoon! Space mountain was my favorite of those rides but Pirates and Indiana Jones were also both fun. We ate at that same Denny's.
