We got back to the hotel from Sea World Monday Evening. So we checked in and visited with everyone, then put our kids to bed with Jeff's parents and the adult children decided to make a late night run to the park. Luckily Jeff's brother and his wife live there so they know the ins and out of the park. So we ran from one ride to the next and knocked out 5 of the more popular rides in less than 2 hours. Which is pretty good considering you usually wait in line for over an hour for just one ride.
Tuesday we spent the day going around the two parks and spending the day with everyone.
Then that night we went to the cool new show they have down there called The World of Color. It was pretty amazing to see all the lasers, fountains, fire, and animation that is involved in the show.
Wednesday we spent most of the day with just the four of us. And again this day we knocked out a large majority of the rides that we wanted to hit. It was amazing how we seemed to find so many rides without lines. Jeff's parents took the whole clan to lunch that day at the Blue Bayou. The food there was delicious and the atmosphere is cool because it is apart of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
After lunch we took the kids to Playhouse Disney Live on Stage. Both kids loved dancing and the interaction with the show. 
That evening we went to the Pixar parade which Trey loved because those are the Disney characters that he knows.
Thursday we finished up the rides that we couldn't fit in the other days. And some how we managed to make it to all of the rides that we wanted to. Trey even got to ride on his first roller coaster and loved it so much he had to go on it twice.
One thing we did notice is that when you stop and look at the people in the park it is easy to tell who is on their first day there and who is on the last day. It is amazing how draining it is to run from one place to another place and spend alot of time waiting in line. Thursday afternoon we took the kids swimming at the pool in our hotel and then that evening Steve and all the adult kids minus Mike plus Trey drove up to LA and went to a Dodgers game.
This trip was so much fun. Trey still talks about all the little things that took place through out this trip. One of his biggest memories is that they wouldn't let him ride the Grizzly River Run because he was half and inch too short. Even though he would go up on his toes when they would look at his head and down on his heels when they would look at his feet. They still wouldn't let him go.
Trey's favorite rides were Soarin' over California, Splash Mountain, Toy Story Mania and All the Bugs Life's rides.
Kestley loved the Carousels, Teacups, and It's a small world. She was such a good trooper through this trip. She just got pushed around in her stroller from one place to the next. And thrown on one ride after another. And was pretty happy through out it all.
Jeff's favorite rides were Space Mountain, Tower of Terror (you should ask him how much he enjoyed it!) and Buzz Lightyear.
Darcey's favorite rides were California Screamin', Soarin' over California, and Tower of Terror.
Again I can't thank my in-laws enough for giving us the opportunity to experience all of this. And it made it even better that we got to experience it with all of Jeff's brothers and sister and their families.
