Our last day of Disneyland was Kade's birthday. Being at Disneyland on your birthday you get tons of special attention. They give you a pin that says it's your birthday with your name on it & every employee makes sure they notice you. My kids love their birthdays at Disneyland! It also means that the birthday kid gets to mostly be in charge of what we do for the day. As soon as we got there, the boys split up to do did Kade's favorite rides, Pirates & Buzz Lightyear & met one of Kade's favorites, Buzz!
The girls started off with a wait to see the fairies (Lex was in heaven again!) & we also got to see a really cool Peter Pan.
We had planned on doing Jedi Training for Kade's birthday but when we got there he had no interest in doing it. In fact, he down right refused! If anyone knows Kade, you'll think it's crazy for him not to want to be on stage or in something Star Wars. But since it was his day, we skipped it. We meant to go back later, but didn't get a chance. Bummer. We headed over to California Adventure & after stopping for a quick Monsters Inc. Pixar Parade that the kids all got to participate in by doing goofy faces we went to our meet 'n greet...it was Chip & Dale again. Of course Kade got some extra time with them.
Then it was off to Kade's favorite ride there, Toy Story, but on the way we ran into one of his ultimate favorites, Woody!
The birthday boy & his favorite cowboy:
I was honored that Kade wanted to ride with me on his favorite ride for his birthday!
After that we ran into the Incredibles Pixar Parade. Sky, Nick, and Alexis headed on up for Incredible training! Wow-pretty strong kids we have there!
Us girls headed back to Disneyland to meet Rapunzel while Ben and the boys traveled all the way to the car to get a must-have, Alexis's blankie, which we had forgotten but she can't live without. Aren't they sweet? I think the boys thought the long trip sounded better than the long wait for Rapunzel.
We met up with the boys waiting to meet "Winnie the Poop" (what Alexis calls him!) & friends.
We went over to Tom Sawyer's Island. We'd never been there before because it's always been closed. We had such a fun time there. The kids absolutely loved all the things to explore and play on.
Kade's pick for dinner was pizza so we went to the Village Haus in Fantasyland. It was all decked out to look European and had Pinnochio murals all over. It was a fun place to eat.
McKade's 5 now!! How did that happen?!
Mom & Dad sure do love our Kadybug!!!
We again headed over to California Adventure (and in the process totally busted our stroller! Yikes!). Ben & Nick loved checking out ElecTRONica!!
We then got to watch World of Color...it was fantastic!!! Kade completely missed it because he had konked out in the stroller.
After Kade's snooze, he got a second wind and insisted we return to Disneyland for some more fun. The kid was wide awake and going strong for the rest of the night. Of course that meant until midnight! We realized on our way out that we had forgotten to stop at City Hall so Kade could get a special birthday call from someone special. When I asked him who it was he said "Grandma & Grandpa!" I guess Grandma & Grandpa must sound a lot like Goofy (that's who it really was)!!
Happy 5th Birthday to our totally awesome kid McKade!! We hope you had the very bestest birthday ever!!
