Radiator Springs - At Night

She was willing to be led away, but not so willing to dance!

 

We spent 11 wonderful hours at the park - We met all of Cole's 'buddies' and hit every ride at least once. If Hayden couldn't go on one, she and I went on the Merry-Go-Round or Under the Sea. We rode each one six times! She had a blast and loved the Disney Junior Show and two parades.

As we were walking towards the exit Hayden said, "This is the best day ever. I don't ever, ever want to leave." And then she face-planted it.

They were asleep before we hit the highway - Operation Radiator Springs was clearly a success!

Rather than a 5th birthday party, Cole asked if we could visit Radiator Springs to see Mater and McQueen. Parties can be just as expensive as three tickets to California Adventures (Hayden still free) so we were sold on the idea - Besides, his 'police cars chasing speeding mustangs, corvettes and monster trucks' party idea seemed a bit tough to plan! He didn't know when we were going... Just knew that it would happen before Christmas.

This morning he heard me gathering items in his room and asked if today was the day - Told him to get dressed and come out to the living room. I'll never forget the moment we told him - He was so happy he started tearing up!

Checking in with Santa

Cole was a nervous wreck, but luckily we got one picture where he didn't look possessed!

He asked for cars, trucks and trains. Hayden asked for Bubble Guppies.

Weird.
