Sierra wasn't too sure about most of the rides...including the tea cups.
Astro Blasters became a fast favorite. Not only does the line move super fast, but they get to shoot things!! A HUGE plus for my boys!!
Ben had awaken around 5AM...in turn waking EVERY one up by 5:30. We weren't too sure how the day would go with no sleep. Ben crashed waiting in line for the jungle cruise...around 5 or so. Surprisingly, every one's attitudes were pretty good. Andrew got a little bored a few times, he's getting a little big for some of the fantasy land rides....but Ben's the perfect age, and with mom being pregnant and Sierra being so little, fantasy land had the best rides.

So, on Sat we woke the kids up REAL early and back to Disneyland we went. We didn't tell them, we had hoped they would fall back asleep...no such luck. We knew they should be OK, since they had done Disneyland once before on no sleep. But since we were going on a Sat, we didn't expect much. Again the lines were almost non existent!
This time, we stopped a few times to take pictures. Here they are trying to pull out the sword in the stone.
Mommy and Ben on Dumbo!
Mommy and Sierra on the tea cups. This time, we rode separate from the boys so that they could go FAST! Andrew's getting daring in his old age and now enjoys going fast and really has no problem trying new things.
After the tea cups I told Bob he should take the boys on the Matterhorn, last time every time we thought about it, the line was to long. Today it was PERFECT! Ben's also tall enough, so off they went while Sierra got a chance to stretch her legs. When we're at Disneyland, she gets to be held by daddy ALL DAY! She doesn't complain ONE BIT!
Then we headed to the jungle cruise...another favorite. Sierra loves just taking everything in, the boys love the animals, and we like the break from walking. Yes...Ben is on a leash, he just gets so excited at candy land (as he calls it) that he doesn't mean to wander off. He actually LOVED his leash...it gave him some freedom. We even put Sierra on it a few times to let her stretch her legs...but she just wants to go where SHE wants to go.
Sierra was SO tired that FINALLY by 4:30 she crashed. She didn't even move when we got on and off the rides. Funny thing...right before we went on the Winnie the Pooh ride Andrew was complaining because he wanted to ride on more roller coasters, more big boy rides. he felt SO cool that he could ride something with daddy. He was even trying to walk in step with daddy. We got fast passes for big Thunder but had some time, so we went over to Winnie the Pooh while we waited. When the ride was over, Andrew wanted to do it AGAIN!! So much for his idea of NOT riding on anymore "baby" rides.
Another of his favorites was Mr. Toads wild ride. One of Ben's favorites is Snow White....he likes the witch and the crocodiles.
They both kept asking to do the Matterhorn again, so daddy obliged and they got to go on it again. They are so fun right now. Ben is just tall enough to ride almost everything at Disneyland which is nice, so by 5 we had ridden everything that we could/wanted to ride. What an AMAZING day! Of course we didn't leave though! We had to stay for the fireworks, so after some dinner and a change of clothes we were back at it! The boys were FANTASTIC! Andrew walked the whole time. Ben had a few melt downs but nothing that wasn't solved with some dinner and negotiating. I told the boys that because they are SO good at Disneyland, it makes it easier to want to take them back.
Because it was a celebration of their birthdays they each got to pick a hat.
I finally got some decent ones at home. Ben and his Kermit ears (because they're green)
Andrew and his custom made birthday ears!
