Disneyland - Day 4

On Friday, we headed out early again to beat as much of the crowds as we could.  It always gets a little more crowded on Friday.  Actually as the week goes on it gets a little more crowded each day.

The boys thick as thieves, excited for another day in Disneyland!

We had not gone on Its a Small World yet, and you can't go to Disneyland without going on Its a Small World!  So off we went!!!

I was a little sad because it was not decorated for Christmas, but it was neat to see all the different countries.

It was also fun to say which countries we have visited as we went "around the world."

After many rides in the park, we all were a bit hungry.  We decided to try something different and went to Rain Forest Café.  We were one of the first ones there, about 5 minutes before opening.  It was perfect!!!

The kids side of the table.  We asked if they could be put in a different part of the restaurant, but they said the kids had to stay with us.  LOL  ;-)

David channeling his inner gorilla!!

Like father, like son - Michael decided to channel his inner gorilla as well.  I am not sure what they were talking about, but it was very animated!!!  :-)

Dessert time!!  At least AJ was happy about it!

As we were heading back into the park we saw Christmas Minnie and Mickey.  There was a HUGE line for photos with them and we didn't really care that much.

After a few rides, we headed to see the stunt show with the Kenmores.

You can feel the heat of the fire up in our seats.

We went to Ratatouille ride and the boys entertained themselves with their own version of Rock, Paper, Scissors.  They were great in line - the boys entertained themselves in all the lines we had to wait in.  It was wonderful!!!

The boys waiting for the parade to start.  Still all smiles!

It was a little different than the parade we saw the other day.  A few more princesses and princes. 

And of course Ana and Elsa.

This one looked kind of creepy I thought.

I liked how they did the toy soldiers feet!

Hakuna Mata!!!!  What a wonderful phrase!

Bert from Mary Poppins - he looked quite like him!

The end of parade with Mickey and Minnie!!!  We decided to make it an early day so we could have our Thanksgiving dinner.  The men folk took the boys swimming while Liz and I did some cooking.

Liz did a fantastic job with the table, even folding the napkins to look like turkeys.  I think this was our first real Thanksgiving dinner since we have been in Germany!  It was wonderful sharing it with great friends!
