Disneyland 2015- Day 3



It's always hard not to feel a real sense of urgency on the last day.
We could feel the end coming near.. man, I hate that.

Tuck was really feeling the Disney spirit, and came equipped with his fanny pack stocked and ready.


He carried an empty bottle of baby wash and a comb, what else could you need?




We started off the day together, and got our group shot.
Jack was pissed about something.



Although I'd say 90% of the trip was spent together as a group (my absolute favorite), we all took a little time in our smaller families doing the things our kids wanted to do before we left.

We took our little rattlets to Toontown, an unfortunate must.

We got in some Mickey time



The boys liked seeing all the character houses, but thankfully, they were over it pretty quick!




What they REALLY wanted to do was go to the Haunted Mansion and Pirates again, and again.



Oh, and Star Tours.













Jack and Brett took a little detour from the group and headed over to Pirate Island.
Perfect example of something I would never even consider doing, but Brett knew best.

Totally up Jack's alley.


Speaking of Jack's alley, we were all amped this day for Jack to go meet Darth Vader and do the Jedi Training.  Brett and Tucker had saved spots in the front to ensure that Jack would get picked to participated.  He was so excited for this all day, and watched YouTube videos among YouTube videos of this.  He was ready.


Until he got chosen, and then he completely froze.

He bailed... and was so internally destroyed. 
Poor little mug.


Luckily, he had many things to raise his spirits back up, and was quickly back in the game!



We watched the Pixar parade this night, and Tucker was on fire.
He kept dancing and throwing kisses to the dancers, it was hilarious.









Again, we shut the place down.
We ran from ride to ride( (much less crowded this day), and squeaked in every last second we could of the Magic Kingdom.



Jack wants to marry Lucy.
I think it's a good choice.




Brett is such a good Disney sport.  My family is intense in this place, and he didn't complain once or skip a beat... I think we've conditioned him well!


Leaving the park is enough to rip out your heart.


Man, I love this place.

Even more, I love the people we get to share it with.
I've been visiting Disneyland religiously my entire life, each time getting to spend it with more and more of the people I love.
I so loved not having to leave a kid behind at home this time, and the ages of my kids... perfection!

How lucky am I to be a mom of these darling boys and to have the siblings/in-laws/parents/ and nieces and nephews that I do? I'm so glad we get to make these memories together... there is truly nothing better.

Until next time... which better be SOON!
