Disneyland Vacation ~ Day 6

 We all agreed that our last day in the parks ~ SIGH~ would be spent at Disneyland. No question. We hit Fantasyland first before it got too crowded and rode lots of ride with short lines. Yahoo! One of favorites is always Storybook and Leila has officially figured out it isn't scary to sit up front. We have tried for years to tell her that, but she finally does it now without hesitation. 

Leila asked to ride the Matterhorn again, so we did that nice and early in the morning. 

The fairies in Pixie Hollow change throughout the day and it happened that Rosetta was there instead of Silvermist today, so Leila wanted to meet her too. 

 Tink remembered her from the day before. Leila is pinkie-promising to help keep Tink's house (a tea kettle) a secret from the Mad Hatter. 

Midday the park announced that the Matterhorn climbers were on the mountain. They had reached the top and the park guests were asked to give them a big yodel. Fun!

Another Disneyland first for Leila...the CANOES. We paddled around Pirate's Lair (which is the new name for Tom Sawyer's Island) in the canoe. It was fun and something different than a typical ride experience. 

 Then we took a raft out to the island and climbed around a bit. 

 After our hotel swim and dinner, we headed back to Disneyland. Leila took this photo with my cell phone. I love it! 

We each built droids at the Star Trader. We made DEC-25 (our Christmas decoration droid), RW13 (our Red Wing droid), ER106 (Chris's classroom number) and Rainbow (Leila's droid). 

That night we returned to the hotel about 11, I think, and none of us were excited about having to leave the next morning. We watched classic Mickey cartoons in the lobby for quite some time. It was a quiet, calm end to 5 days of non-stop Disney fun.
