Disneyland: Part 3

On Wednesday, Steven and I woke up very well rested. I don't think my parents could say the same thing since they had the girls in their room for a sleepover.

After we woke up, Steven and I went down to the gym for a run. We both love to run outside, and so after 3.5 miles on the treadmill, I just couldn't take it anymore. We finished our allotted five miles running through Downtown Disney and around the Disneyland Hotels. It was really fun, even if we got extremely weird looks from everybody on their way to the park.

Then we quickly got ready and met my parents and the girls for our character breakfast. My mom got the girls all dressed up in princess clothes and they were so excited:

However, by this point, they were both extremely low on sleep and acting quite horrible. We kind of wished we could send them back to my parents :)

The breakfast was great, and ridiculously expensive. But, it was a much better way for the girls to meet the characters instead of wasting hours standing in line.



 After the character breakfast, we changed into our swimsuits and went swimming. It worked out great, because the slide at our hotel was broken, so they let us go swimming at the fancier Disneyland Hotel that had three pools and a bunch of water slides.  We love swimming. It is one of our favorite things to do as a family.

After swimming we had to say goodbye to grandma and grandpa. Lots of tears were shed. We put an exhausted Cora down for a nap while Steven took Aubrey to watch Disney cartoons in the movie room.

We explored Downtown Disney one more time, and the girls especially had a great time at the Lego store. Aubrey and Steven spent the late afternoon building their new Lego set while I tried to keep Cora from destroying the hotel room.

Dinner, ice cream, park, baths, bed, and that was pretty much the end of our Disney vacation. We got up at 5 again to drive home. I love Disneyland and want to go back already.
