the hornacek family: disneyland...day three.

day three...what a day! on our last day, we made our way to disney's california adventure. brian and lauri had never been there so we were so excited to explore the park with them! today was a much colder day, pretty windy and overcast. right when we got there, we headed straight for toy story mania! jessie was standing right outside and kyri couldn't wait to meet her! priceless. toy story manie wasn't open right away so we went on california screamin' instead...twice! a perfect way to start our day. that roller coaster is so sweet...so smooth and so fast! we just walked right on. i love going on roller coasters with my man. we were finally able to go on toy story mania and that ride is just awesome! it's the newest ride at the park and if you haven't been on it, you're missin' out. 3-D and you get to shoot stuff. what could be cooler? kyri was able to go on sourin' over california, which she absolutely loved! even though i've been on the ride so many times, it is so amazing every time. disneyland sure knows what their doing!

we spent a lot of time in bug's land, going on every ride. everything there is so cute, with all the bugs! we didn't have to wait in any lines, all day. it made me happy that we were able to take kaden on so many rides with us. he just chilled, sucked his thumb, and soaked it all in. such a good baby boy. kyri and gabriel loved california adventure because there was so much for them to explore! so precious to watch them, creating little memories. we were sad to miss the playhouse disney live show, we just didn't make it in time. we did get to see the pixar play parade, the coolest parade! we love all of the pixar movies. i'm so glad they have a parade with all of the pixar characters! before we left the park, i convinced myself to go on tower of terror with kev and brian. i'm not a huge fan of rides that drop straight down, but i've gone on every ride at disneyland so i just had to do it! it was actually pretty sweet...now i want to go on it again because i've heard it's never the same experience.

before we left the park for the day, we had to get ice cream. kyri was asking for an ice cream cone the entire trip and we did promise her one. even though it was chilly out, she enjoyed every bite! the park closed early so we decided to have dinner in downtown disney. we ate a yummy mexican food place...you can never have enough mexican food! we spent a while walking around, checking out the shops. we let kyri pick out one toy at the GIANT disney store. she picked a peter pan play set, a perfect choice. brian and lauri stayed in the disney's grand california hotel, which we had to walk through everyday to get to our hotel. we spent some time there on our last night, reminiscing about the past three days. it really was a vacation to remember forever. we shared so many wonderful memories with our dear friends, the ernst family, that we will cherish forever. i'm so thankful we were able to go with them! our walk back to the hotel was bittersweet. we couldn't stop smiling from all the fun we had, but we were not ready to go home the next day. we could have stayed at disneyland one more week! our drive home went pretty smooth. we stopped for lunch and for ice cream...yes, our family likes ice cream. we were soon back in lincoln. as happy as were were to be in our cozy home, we were all ready to go back to our favorite vacation spot...DISNEYLAND!
