The last day of the Anderson California Adventure...

Our final day of Disneyland started out with a train ride around the whole park. Damon is infatuated with trains these days, and screams "CHOO CHOO" everytime he sees one, so Joe and I figured we better at least take Damon on the train around Disneyland. After that, we devoted our last day to the kids, and spent all morning in Fantasy Land, riding all the rides that they can go on.

That evening, we got to go to a Pixar Parade and were able to get VIP seating....(thanks to those wonderful green shirts.) Damon lined up with all of his cousins front row to see all the characters. We were at the very beginning of the parade route, so we got to watch all of the floats and characters come out first. The Monsters Inc. float broke down right in front of us, and we got to watch what the parade crew does in that sort of emergency. Damon was enamored by the characters. He got to pet Dori and Nemo, and could hardly catch his breath when his favorite character, Tow Mater came driving out. Halle unfortunately slept through the entire parade. I was completely in awe at how amazing Disney is. They don't do anything just half way. The props, characters, decorations, and feeling there is just amazing.

The very end of the day, we got together with all of Joe's family and got some big group pictures. It was funny to see the looks on peoples faces when they saw all of us in the same shirts trying to bunch together to take a picture. It was a great moment, a wonderful trip, and amazing memories. Thanks to everyone in Joe's family for making it such a memorable and fun time!
