Bryce woke up extremely sick. I didn't have a thermometer, but he was so hot to the touch. Normally when he doesn't feel well he still goes about his day, eats and plays. This morning he didn't want to get out of bed and slept through everyone else eating breakfast in the room and getting ready for the day. When I tried to give him water, he coughed so hard he threw-up all over the bed. We asked him if he wanted to go to Disneyland and at first he said no. After a while, he changed him mind and decided to get ready. The rest of the family went ahead of us, because we had early morning passes to Mickey's Toontown. We ended up meeting them there about 30 minutes later. We bought Bryce Motrin at a stand in Downtown Disney. This on top of the Tylenol seemed to help. He was content to sit in his stroller a lot, but he had the energy to play too. I was so happy he didn't have to miss out on an entire day of Disneyland, thank God for medicine.
In Toontown the kids got to see Goofy, Chip and Dale. After Toontown we went on Small World, Dumbo, the Teacups, and the Carousel. Trey and Clay opted to go do big boy rides while the rest of us stayed with the little kids. After the rides, we went and stood in line for over 30 minutes to get Bryce and Amanda's pictures taken with Tinkerbell and a blue fairy. The both thought this was great.
After seeing Tinkerbell we went back to the hotel for lunch and naps. Bryce took a very long nap. He slept so hard that he wet the bed (he never does this during naps at home). Twice in one day we had to call room service to have them change the bed because of Bryce. This time they actually had to bring in a whole new mattress because there was no water proof pad on it and the pee leaked all the way into the mattress.
While the little kids slept Nathan, Juli, Clay and I went to CA Adventure and rode California Screamin'. We went on three times in a row because there was only a five minute wait. This roller coaster is so fun and not jerky at all.
After naps, which went very long, we went back to CA Adventure and went into A Bugs Life area. We thought the little kids would enjoy playing in the water area. Bryce didn't like it at all so he went on the rides again. Mandy absolutely loved the water area. While we did this, Trey and Clay swam at the hotel.
That night we tried to eat at ESPN Zone (we had tried two other times) but the entire restaurant was booked for a private party. Instead we drove down the street to Coco's where we met Sharon and Ross. Surprisingly we had an excellent dinner. Not only was the food decent, but because the service was a little slow, we got free dessert. There was also a guy making balloons. When he came to our table we thought the kids would enjoy balloons and the guy said he could do just about any Disney character. He said he worked on tips alone. We thought, okay a buck a balloon to keep the kids entertained for a while would be a good deal. As the guy made the balloons we were amazed at his skill. We thought he would make just the heads of the characters, but he made their entire bodies. People kept throwing money into the pot. I think by the time he was finished there was at least $12. Bryce got a Goofy, Amanda got a Minnie Mouse, and Trey got a motorcycle. The kids were entertained for a good 10-15 minutes.
