Day Four- California Adventure!

So after our super long fun day at Disney, we decided to go California adventure with the girlies. They of course were up at 7:30 that morning( they went to bed at 10:30 YIKES!) but we went anyway! There isn't nearly as much to do for little ones here as there is at Disneyland but we wanted to check it out anyway. They had a cute Bugs Life area with Bumper Cars, spinning cups and a slow roller coaster.



We then went and rode that big Ferris Wheel (can't remember the name) and your cage rocks around while you are in the air. I was a little freaked out on this one and kept sceaming at Doug to hold onto Audree.


Here we are on the Carousel...Olivia has to ride the Blue of everything...it's her fav color these days....and we rode the new Toy Story ride which was really fun too...but I don't have pics of that.



We went and watched Mickey Mouse Club house show which they loved and we saw Minnie right after. Audree about knocked her down by kissing her so hard though...


By 2 pm we were done...and they were done......Did I mention that they never napped? My girls still nap at least 2 hours a day...and we had 5 STRAIGHT DAYS WITH NO NAPS!! Let's just say we were all tired....



Farewell Disneyland.....what a fun family vacation we had! I almost need another vacation to recover from the one we had! PHEW!


Back to laundry, cleaning, starting to potty train and puking...yay I thought it was over too.....thanks for reading about our little trip everyone!

Day Three- DISNEYLAND!!!!

Here we are!! The day we have been waiting for! We got up and headed down there and were there before they opened. We went straight to Peter Pan, Dumbo, Alice in Wonderland, Storybook Ride then the tea cups.




Olivia's Favorite...she talked about this for days!



The park was busy but not too busy. We only waited about 10 minutes or so to get on each ride. It was Great! The girls didn't really get the concept of waiting in line.
We went to the Princess Faire and heard a story by Cinderella and then waited in Line for about 45 minutes to meet the princess's. And we met some good ones! Belle, Ariel & Snow White. The girls told them their names how old they were and what they like to do....look at their cute faces!









Onto Toon Town...they loved it there. We ate some lunch and rode their favortie ride of all....Gadget's Go Coaster! It was fast and bumpy but we went on it twice! Fun huh! We met Mickey too in this little room all by ourselves....fun!






We then went and rode the railroad, Autotopia, and Buzz Lightyear. Then onto see Pooh and Tarzan's House.
Click on this pic to make it bigger....these are their silly faces....




During the day we received special passes to stay at the park One hour after it closed. It was a promo for the "Year of a Million Dreams" So we were at D-land until 9:30 that night! YIKES! We loved going on our favorite rides again...Tea Cups, Dumbo, and we took the girls on the Matterhorn Bobsleds.....That might have been a mistake. They were tall enough but is was really fast, dark with abmonable snowman popping out everywhere....We hope we didn't tramatize them!




We let them pick out their own ears...they look so cute and Audree wore hers for the next 2 days!




Dancing to the music before the Parade starts....


PHEW! Thanks for reading only One more day!

Day Two- Balboa Park

We had a nice go with the flow day this day. We took our time getting up and getting ready and went to this Amazing park in San Diego. There were museums, grass, and amazing old buildings. We went to a puppet show while we were there and there were Marionette's that were a little freaky. The girls got to make their own puppet afterwards...here we are on the grass having a little picnic...





Check out these buildings! There were so many beautiful spots here....if I lived in San Diego I would do all my shoots there...so awesome!




The girls liked the water and there was a Saxaphone player playing some tunes nearby so the girls were dancing.




We then went back to a 50's diner near our hotel. They threw tons of straws on the table ( which the girls loved) and at the end threw a pile of bazooka gum without us knowing. We got the girls a balloon animal and they got a "Monkey George" as they call it. (Curious George...their favorite cartoon)

Sea World-Day One

( Let me just say I am breaking the vacation up in different posts...there will be many pictures and will probably be totally boring for everyone...but for posterity sake and for the blog book...I am writing it all down!)

Here are a few highlights of our family vacation. We drove to Cali on Friday afternoon and took a swim in our hotel pool. The next day we got up and went to Sea World. They have a really cool little park for kids with Elmo rides and things to play on. We went there first and rode those little rides. Which was great because then we were able to go to the Shows and the different exhibits without worrying about riding the rides. We went to the Shamu show, the Dolphin show, the Pets on Parade Show, and the Elmo 3d Show which Olivia hated because they squirt water out at you!






We got them a kids lunch which they didn't eat but they loved the box that it came in. They held it the rest of the day and walked around so sassy with their glasses and lunch pails.




I told the girls to sit for a picture and these are the faces I get! HA!


Here are some cool starfish that the girls loved holding.




At the end of the day....I have alot more pics that are of just in the animals and things...but I love pics with people in them! Can you tell...you get the idea....Sea World was fun....the girls favorite part was SHAMU! We got them a new stuffed animal for a suvenier(sp)!
