This is the first ride we went on - Mickey's Fun Wheel. It is a big ferris wheel where the cabins slide on tracks in and out while you circle around. It looks like Sari and Audrey are having fun!
I didn't know Leah was chewing on the seat belt while we were on this ride until the very end. Yuk!
Sari was about 1/4 of an inch too short for this mini roller coaster. The Disney employee at the beginning of the ride wasn't paying attention and Sari got to ride it once.
Sari and Kate LOVED being with their cousins. I feel like I barely saw Sari the first two days while they were there because she wouldn't leave their side. They had so much fun together!
Sari says her favorite rides were Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, Splash Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Aren't those everyone's favorite?
The girls riding Splash Mountain:
I was very happy Sari liked all those rides. Especially since Friday Jill and Greg left so we didn't have anyone to swap riding and kid watching with. On Friday, Scott and I took turns riding things with Sari. The kids got to ride all the bigger rides double while Scott and I switched off with Greg and Jill. At one point Scott and I had all 6 kids on the carousel and a woman asked Scott if they were all ours. We also took all of them except Olivia (who was tall enough to ride Indiana Jones) on Pirates of the Caribbean. It scared Kate, Sari, and Audrey a little bit. The second time we rode it Kate held onto Sari's hand and turned her head to the side with her eyes closed tight. I couldn't get her to open her eyes for a while. She also shivered a little because she was scared. The last day when we rode it though, she told me she wanted to ride it again.
The kids got to meet several princesses. Olivia and Audrey got their autographs.
Between the stroller, Scott, and I we could carry/push all the kids most of the time. Usually we carried or put Leah in the baby Bjorn, and Sari and Kate would be in the stroller and sitting on top of it by the handle. It worked out pretty well!
The only meltdown of the trip was at the end of the second day when Kate way laying down in the stroller on the walk to the shuttle and Sari wanted to. She really lost it for a while there. Luckily I got her to settle down before we had to get on the shuttle.
We went to Ariel's Grotto for a late lunch with the princesses on Friday. Kate got to meet her favorite princess, Snow White.
The beach was pretty cold on Saturday. Sari has been wanting to go to the beach forever though so we couldn't pass up the opportunity while we were so close. We did each get in the water once. Both the girls were shocked when they got some saltwater in their mouths. They were done with the water after that. When I told Sari there is salt in the water she looked at me quizzically and said, "Why did they put salt in the water?! I like it without!"

We also made a sandcastle, found seashells, ate lunch, and sat in the sun.

Looks like exhausting fun! I'm glad you guys had a good time.
You cut your hair....and it's WAY cute! Sounds like you had a fun vacation...Disneyland is the best! We used to cart both kids around on the stroller using the handles as an extra seat too....it worked great!
Looks like a great vacation! WE just went to California too, but were in San Diego and enjoyed Sea World instead of Disneyland. One day we'll get brave and go to the happiest place on earth!
