Our last day in California of course was spent in Disneyland. We woke up and had breakfast in the hotel and once again took the shuttle over to Disneyland. The last day we were focusing on getting autographs for Ella and doing whatever it is that she wanted to do. We started the day off in Toon Town. There she was able to get autographs of Pluto, Mickey, and Minnie. We also went on the rides there. Because of The Tower of Terror experience that Ella had she did not want to go on any of the other big rides. She told us that she was afraid of them and that she didn't like them to begin with. It even took me a while to talk her into going on the small roller coaster ride in Toon Town. We spent quite a bit of time walking around there. Then we headed over to Frontier Land. I was finally able to talk her into going on Thunder Mountain again. And once again she loved it. We had to keep reminding her that it wasn't like The Tower of Terror. We then went to see Billy Hill and the Hillbillies. Ella did not like that one bit. She wouldn't even crack a smile at Billy. After that we went on the essential rides at Disney (pirates) and then went back over to California Adventures. The only 2 things that Ella absolutely had to do again was ride the Soaring over California ride and watch the parade again. My mom and Ella rode the small ride in California Adventures while my dad and I went on The Tower of Terror again. By the time that we got done with all of that stuff it was 4:30 in the afternoon. We didn't have enough time to go back to the hotel and rest so we just found ourselves a bench along the parade route and parked it there until 7 when the parade started. While we waited Ella and I went shopping. We picked out souvenirs for everyone and picked up food. Then I would sit on the bench while my mom, dad, and Ella went off to do stuff. Ella was worried that where she was at the princesses wouldn't be able to see her. She didn't need to worry about that though. Everyone of them saw her and waved. Aladdin and Rapunzel blew her a kiss. After Disneyland we went back to the hotel. It was our day to get dressed up really nice and go out to eat. We were all just pooped out and hungry so we ended up dressing up really nice and just eating at the restaurant in the hotel. It was good food after all.

Mary Poppins was kinda rude. She definitely had somewhere she had to be and was too busy to stop. She stopped just long enough for us to take her picture.

Dad and I on The Tower of Terror. All of the pictures that he got taken on the rides look exactly the same. Eyes closed and a funny look on his face. Mine do too. I just have a smile on my face like I am just hanging out.
Ella got to wear my mom's necklace for our night out.
On the way home from California we drove straight to Utah. Ella got to watch movies on the laptop to help occupy her time. But mostly she slept. She was just plum tuckered out.
That is exactly how I felt after our trip. I spent a lot of time picking out presents for the kids. I bought them all a hat. Everyone loved their hat except for Natalie. She hated it. Ella got them all shells from the beach. Everyone loved them except for Natalie.
