critter breakfast

Our hotel- The Disney Grand Californian also houses the Storytellers Cafe where you can meet some critters for breakfast. We decided to go the day we were flying home since we had a few hours until our flight. The boys were excited, and who doesn't love Mickey waffles?

Lincoln just wanted fruit loops. 

I was thankful to our waiter who suggested we get some from the buffet with our meals instead of paying $7 for this tiny box...

The critters made their rounds around the restaurant and came to our table to visit the boys.

What a fun breakfast!

corona del mar beach

Adam's sister Megs lives pretty close to Disneyland at the moment (within an hour I think?) 

So they had a little beach bonfire dinner on Saturday night. 

They were so nice to get all the food, chairs, blankets and everything ready. So much work!

There were bonfires all over the beach- seems so fun!

Someone was even burning their dried out Christmas tree.

The boys went straight for the water. 

It was 7:00 PM when we got there, so it was already dark.

The boys were sad they couldn't swim, but we all put our feet in and it was CHILLY!

I wish we could have spent more time there!

Linc's sweats wouldn't stay up and were instantly soaked, so he got to wade in his boxer briefs. 

(Has to be like his older brothers already!)

Lincoln Bear

He was awake one minute and asleep the next. We put his jammies on in the car and he stayed asleep for the drive home and the night. We wore him out! 

disneyland day 3

We had a special early pass to get into Disneyland on Saturday, so it was another early 7:30 AM to get out the door to wait in line. Steve and Karen had brought us some groceries- fruit, wheat thins, string cheese and carrot sticks, the night before so we ate them in line for our breakfast that morning. 

P.S. I love being pregnant in pictures... said no one ever.

Look who we ran into! 

Mickey did have something to say about Elliott's Oswald ears, but it was okay :)

We went straight for Peter Pan, which was a 30 minute wait, but then got on all the rest of the rides really fast. It was a productive couple of hours before the Saturday busy-ness caught up with us.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

Alice in Wonderland

Later that day we met up with Adam's sister- Amy and her family.

They came in from Vegas for a doctor appointment and met us at Disney too.

So fun to have cousins at Disneyland!

We went to the Little Explorer place in California Adventure.

Ollie, Kenzie, Elliott

Lincoln had the saddest frown on his face when he was an inch or two too short for this zipline ride.

He was just tall enough on most of the other rides, it was so sad!

After the cousins played for a while we went our separate ways- we had a beach bonfire to go to later that night and Amy was planning on more Disneyland.

We had another great day and got on so many rides!

I think I was the most tired though... baby boy might be slowing me down a little now. 

Three weeks until he's here!

I wouldn't really suggest going to Disneyland so close to delivery, but it is something to look forward to and to keep your mind off the fact that you want the baby here now.
