Disneyland Day 3

Our last day at Disneyland we continued our trend of getting there when they open to enjoy a few short(ish) lines. 

Ayden looked forward to riding the Matterhorn for two days.  Unfortunately, it was down on day 2, so we were excited to see it was up and running on our last day.
We hit the last of the rides in Fantasyland that we had not ridden yet...




 ...and a couple that he wanted to do again

We headed over to California Adventure when they opened.  Ken wasn't feeling well at this point, but was a trooper and rode a couple of rides with Ayden in A Bugs Land

All ready for the 3D movie
 Ken's "not feeling well" turned into "really sick" when we went back to the hotel for lunch.  He was hoping that some sleep would help, but Ayden and I headed back to the parks on our own.  While we missed Ken, we did all of the attractions at California Adventure that we hadn't done yet.



Then we headed back to Disneyland because Ayden wanted to go back to Toontown.





We got some dessert (ice cream & cotton candy) and found a good spot to watch the Fireworks.  We were so bummed to two previous nights because the Fireworks had to be cancelled.  It was so exciting that they were "on" on our last night.  We were bummed that Ken had to miss them, but they were worth the wait! 
I didn't get any pictures of the fireworks.  I had not anticipated that I would have to hold Ayden so he could see the fireworks.  It must have been an interesting sight - a 5 1/2 month pregnant woman with a 50 pound 5 year old on her back and a backpack on her front (in addition to the belly).  Too bad we don't have a picture of that!

Thank goodness for my phone - it gave Ayden something to do while we waited.
