We stayed with some friends at the Anaheim Marriot, nicest hotel we've ever stayed in. Ruth shared some of her travel rewards with us and oh boy did we feel spoiled. Desserts at night and a yummy breakfast in the morning!! We were on the 18th floor and were able to see the fireworks from our balcony (all three of us at 9:30, because Thomas was still up after no nap, early rising and several car drives, yeah, it was great!).
The next two days were spent in both Disneyland and California Adventure. The park wasn't too crowded so we were able to ride everything we wanted to, even Jared and I. We were at the park with the Kile's family and the Truesdells, so that included everyone from Nana and Papa, lots of mom and dads, a bunch of kids and on down to the two 2-year olds. 
There was always someone to watch Thomas if one of us wanted to ride. It was great to not only spend time the three of us, but to hang out with the whole group! 
Monday, we did "big kid" rides in the morning, had lunch and then split up into small groups. We spent some time in Fantasyland with Thomas 
than on Main Street for a nap and some ice cream (Thomas slept for an hour and a half, it was great!). 
We saw some of the characters,
did some shopping, went on Nemo and even had some Jedi Training. After that we met up with the rest of the group for dinner.
On Tuesday, we headed into the California Adventure. We made the first showing of Playhouse Disney, which was a hit. Such fun to watch Thomas sing, dance and clap along with a bunch of disney characters. 
After that we met up with the group again at the back of the park for California Screamin', and a bunch of the other crazy rides. Thomas had fun trying on sunglasses and watching mommy on the spinning rides. After lunch we had more play time and then headed over to the Bug's Life area and rode a ride and then Thomas and Josie got their fun in the water. Thomas shocked us all and loved it right away 
(he hates the shower, the sprinklers and any water being splashed in his face), so much he didn't want to leave. We had a little bit of time to play with the "big kids" in the water area,but unfortunately after that we did have to leave. 
We (or I) took our time walking through the stores and eventually to the car, where Thomas crashed. Fell asleep water bottle and cookie in hand.
We made it home just after 11 Tuesday night only to wake up the next morning for birthday preparations! The fun continues...
