Disney Day 3

Boy, next week will seem so boring with one or two pictures a day, huh? I've been snapping a ton of pics "on the go" during our trip ... so fun! They aren't necessarily the best in quality, but I'm so glad I have them :D

Today was a much more laid back day with less of an agenda - gotta have those kinds of days, right? We slept in {8:30 AM ... gotta love blackout shades} and then took our time getting around to much of anything! I went for a run while the girls took some time to focus on some of their homework. Kendyl & Cougar spent some time coloring and Steve checked his Fantasy Football, of course ;)

After a lazy morning, we drove down the Pacific Coast Highway into Laguna Beach where we grabbed some lunch at BJ's (one of our faves) and then crossed the street to bury our toes in the sand. Oh, do we love the beach!!! The kids played "Rapunzel" on an empty lifeguard tower, enjoyed a playground right there on the beach, and Cougar made a new friend.

After the beach we headed back to the resort to clean up and head to Disneyland. Our plan was to catch the parade and get in some rides, but by the time we got there the parade route was already PACKED so we ditched that idea and took advantage of the short lines while everyone else watched the parade. Brinley had some girls ask to trade pins which was so cute. Then we headed to It's a Small World - gorgeous at night especially during the holidays!! We had it "snow" on us twice and got to see the light show as the entire exterior was transformed with holiday lights! The perfect ending was that the fireworks show was overhead as we exited the ride ... awesome!! To cap it all off we got our favorite Disneyland meal - corn dogs! The cart at the end of Main Street never disappoints ;)
