Taggart's Last Day at the Magic Kingdom

Today was the Taggart's last day at Disneyland. Since they are staying at the Grand Californian Hotel, they were able to get into California Adventure a little early and started their day "Soarin' over California". While waiting to get in, we cruised through Downtown Disney and I got my first cup of coffee. At 10am we met the Taggarts over at the Grizzly River Run ride. Kevin and the kids all had their bathing suits on and rode the ride 3 times in a row. Even though they got a little wet, they missed getting soaked by the big gieser that really gets you wet. Then we headed for the pool at the Grand Californian. We had the pool all to ourselves, just like we have had no lines for rides all week long. We got changed at the Taggart's hotel room and while Kevin and Mary Kaye packed to leave, we took the kids to the Lego Store and Build-a-Bear store at Downtown Disney. Kate, Jack and Katie all got stuffed animals with their money while Jack T. and Cole bought the Star Wars Lego - Complete Trilogy Nintendo DS game (that should keep them occupied on the flight). After eating some Pizza for lunch, we then headed to Disneyland and rode some of our favorite rides with the Taggarts one last time. We even caught the comedy show at the western saloon while we enjoyed some ice cream. The Taggarts said goodbye around 6pm as they headed for the airport for their flight home. We ldecided to head back to the hotel, since I was feeling pretty sick with a head cold. Kate and Jack have been coughing and sneezing the last few day and it has hit me pretty hard now. We picked some McDonald's up for dinner at the hotel and the kids worked on homework while I crashed in bed. That's the firstime I have been to bed before 8pm in a couple of decades! Tomorrow is the last day so we have planned out some "must sees" to finish out this vacation. More later! - Rob

(sorry about the limited number of pictures today. I wasn't feeling that well, and it was a rushed day to fit in lots of rides before the Taggarts left.)

A beautiful day, and the pool all to ourselves!
