I went down a little later and had breakfast with Kim, Brian, Joe, and Adam.
James didn't go with us to Disneyland today. He stayed in the room to recuperate from yesterday. The boys and I left a little before Brian and Kim, Joe, Adam and Alex.
Welcome to Disneyland!
As we were walking down main street Evan wanted to know where the rides were. I told him he would see them soon enough. Rowan wanted to go on Star Tours so we headed for Tomorrowland. The three of us went on Star Tours and then Astro Blaster. Evan did not like looking at the big talking Buzz. We didn't go on the Toy Story ride in California Adventure yesterday because he didn't like the big talking Mr. Potato Head whose eyes follow you.
Kim and Brian had to go on Space Mountain first because that is their tradition. We met them and the older boys in front of Astro Blaster which they all went on together.

Kim took this picture.
They all went on Star Tours because Evan and Rowan wanted to. Thank goodness I didn't have to go! After the ride the older boys left and we did some shopping in the Star Traders store. Both boys picked out Mickey Obi's for their souvenir gift.
Next we the five of us, Kim, Brian, Evan, Rowan and myself, made our way over to the Haunted Mansion. On the way the boys wanted to climb up to Tarzan's tree house ( it used to be Swiss Family Robinson's),
so Kim took them while Brian bought me a drink.

We mentioned going on the Jungle Cruise but Rowan said it was boring.
The boys loved the Haunted Mansion. They went through twice. It's all decorated for Halloween and is so much fun!

Kim loves going on the Winnie the Pooh ride and the boys and I agreed that it was great!
Are we really on the Winnie the Pooh ride?
We didn't have time to do Pirates because we were scheduled to meet the older boys back on main street for lunch. No one even mentioned doing Indiana Jones. That's ok with me because I don't really like it anyway.
I took Evan and Rowan to the Pizza Port while Brian and Kim buy me a corn dog at The Little Red Wagon on Main street. Marci Coombs says they have the best corn dogs ever and I would have to agree with her!
We all eat our lunch at the Pizza Port and Adam talks Evan into going on the Matterhorn. He tells him it was Joshua's favorite ride. (I'm not sure about that.) When Evan gets off his face is pale and he looks scared, but he did it!
Brian, Evan, Adam and Rowan ride on the teacups.
I couldn't do this, especially after eating a corn dog.

While in Fantasyland they boys rode on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan. After the Peter Pan ride Evan said: "That's all there is after that long line we waited in?" I agree Evan.
We needed a flavor break so we went to the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor on Main street. (Another suggestion by Marci Coombs.) I had the 101 Dalmation sundae which is mint chocolate chip ice cream with hot duge sauce and whipped cream in a waffle cone. It was delicious!
Well the boys wanted to go on Star Tours and the Astro Blaster again. Thank goodness for Kim and Brian. I did some people watching while they took the boys on the rides. Afterwards we said goodbye and the boys and I headed to the Legos Store in downtown Disney.
The Hulk and friends.
Evan picked out his birthday present and Rowan got a little something too.
Back at the hotel we picked up grandpa and went to IHOP for dinner so Rowan could get some chocolate chip pancakes. It was a fun day!
