(Click here for more pictures) This morning the boys, Robby, Jason and Tom, headed off early to their Keys to the Kingdom tour (more on that later). We thought the kids would sleep in but we were walking to the bus stop (Tara, Nonna, 3 kids, 1 backpack and 2 strollers) by 9:45. The bus was the most crowded it had been all week long. I (Tara) could not even see the kids and Nonna by the time we made it to the park. I jumped off the bus and threw the strollers down and then hopped back on the bus to grab the kids and help them off. We could immediately tell that the crowds were plentiful. It almost seemed like they were July levels and not middle of January levels. Oh well, we pressed on. We pushed our strollers down Main Street and stopped to watch a little singing show and then off the Small World again. Anderson can sing "small world" and Reagan belts out the song throughout the ride. That is there favorite ride. Nonna and Graham stayed by the buggy since he was asleep. The lines were too long to do many rides so next we headed to the Riverboat and took a cruise. Afterwards, we planned on having a snack at Pinnochio's Haus but decided on lunch since it was almost lunchtime and the restuarant was quite. The kids had been asking about the carousel so we all rode it next. Graham didn't want to ride a horse so he just sat with Nonna. Then we played a little bit in Toontown and shopped quite a bit! Reagan was a very good help to Nonna while shopping. She found lots of things that she would like. We still have plenty of time to kill before meeting up with the guys so we rode around the park on the train. Anderson loved the train-he sat with his head almost hanging out of the window-which is probably why he is a little sunburned. After our ride around the park, we strolled to Tomorrowland in a quiet path beside the train tracks. When we made it to Tomorrowland, I looked in the buggy and Reagan was asleep. We ate a snack while she slept and then took our bathroom break. By then the guys had called and were coming to meet us. We headed on to the Tomorrowland Transit ride one last time-the kids just loved the rides. Even a little one like that, is a BIG ride to a little kid. When the guys came back, you could tell they enjoyed their tour. They had learned many Disney secrets, had lunch, walked around the park and walked in some of the tunnels under the park. Next time, Tara and Nonna are going to go while they watch the kids. We all needed another snack by this time since it was a very warm day. We stopped and got a huge brownie sundae and headed back to Pinnochio's Haus to eat our snack. Graham was sleeping by then so Nonna and Pops stayed with Graham while we headed off for one last ride. The line at Goofy's Barnstormer wasn't too bad so we jumped in it-Reagan and Anderson need to love roller coasters. This time Reagan even "screamed" along with Mom and Robby said that Anderson enjoyed it more this time. Robby, Tom and Jason had gotten stuck on Pirates so they were given a fastpass to any ride. We used them for one last Dumbo ride which the kids loved. Afterwards, we had a few snacks to use and got orange juice slushes before heading out of the park. Anderson's favorite part of the trip was the Monorail-in fact while we were shopping, he just cried "monorail, monorial" wanting us to buy him one-Dad had already bought him one though. Reagan's favorite part was seeing Minnie Mouse.
After arriving back at the hotel, the Brocks took a nap while we working on re-packing all of our clothes. Soon it was supper time and we walked the trail to the restaurant area. After supper and our last Mickey Mouse shaped rice krispie treats, we played in the arcade until bedtime. Our morning would be early so we called it a night very early. Of course, this night of all nights, the kids were wired. Graham finally went to sleep (he has been sleeping in his bouncy in the bathtub), Anderson (he has been sleeping in the pack n play by the bathroom) played with (until he broke) his monorail (Mom and Dad had to fix it late at night with a breadtie-thankfully we had one handy)-then he just cried "monorail, monorail" until he forgot about it and went to sleep, and Reagan (she has been sleeping on the floor in between the 2 beds) just chatted and asked questions to until she finally fell asleep.
