Califonia Family Vacation: Disneyland, day 2, part 2

Before we left Disney that afternoon, the kids were FINALLY able to do some souvenir shopping.  Maxwell built his own light saber.  Kaylee picked out Minnie Ears and a cute necklace of her name. We then watched a little more of the parade and enjoyed some ice cream.  A tip - if you have seen the parade - go to the photo shop place and cream shops during the parade.  Lines were almost non-existant during the parade and we were even able to get a table indoors to eat our ice cream.

  After ice cream we headed back to our hotel to relax.  Once repacking our bag with waters and evening snacks and long sleeved shirts, we headed to Downtown Disney for dinner.  We did not have dinner reservations, so we were hoping that the wait wouldn't be too long.  We put our name in at 2 restaurants both saying it would be about 30 minutes and I got the first text about 10 minutes later.  While we waited we were entertained by some "slap dancing".

After dinner, we headed back to Disney to await the fireworks.  It was a long wait and while it took a while to find the right place to sit, we eneded up in the middle of the road with a pretty good view.  It was amazing! 

As we were walking out that night, Kaylee took my hand and told me "today was the best day of my life!!"
