California Vacation, Day 3!

Good morning!

Here are the pictures from the third day of our California vacation! I had planned on sharing these with you last week, but I have had a bit of a crazy past few days – I am sure you can understand!! 🙂 We spent this day at California Adventures, which neither my sweetie nor I had ever been there before, and if we had to do it all over again, we would DEFINITELY go to this park first, and Disneyland second! 🙂 Our feet were pretty worn out from the day before, but we wanted to make sure we didn’t miss ANYTHING! 🙂

So without further ado, here are those pics! 🙂

1

This is us ready to start a really fun day!! If you look really closely, you will see that Christopher has poked his little head into the middle of this pic – matter of fact, I do not have one single solitary picture of Jason and together on this day where Christopher did not “photo bomb” us. Grrrr!! I will make sure that his butt-kicking is swift and just!! 😉

2

Of course the “boys” had to have their picture taken with this sweet car!! Boys will be boys!! 🙂

3

Another photo bomb!

4

Lynette and Jason!

I really love the magic that runs through this place!

6

It made us both feel like kids again! 🙂

We had to remind Morgan not to “stretch” her too much!! “We don’t stretch people, it’s not nice!” LOL!! Still makes me smile!! 🙂

8

This Hollywood back drop was sooooo cool!! 🙂

Megan and Mom! How cute! 🙂

Morgan getting ready to do the fun buggy bumper cars!! 🙂

He also got a big kick out of the fact that the lights were also the bugs behinds!!! 😉

14

It was funny to see Jason and Chris in a kiddie ride – they seemed to be enjoying themselves! 🙂

15

Morgan was having the BEST day! 🙂

16

My sweetie and Megan!! I just love these two!!! 😉

25

I can’t remember what this ride was called, but we waited in line for SOOOOOO long!!! It was upwards of 2 hours, if not a bit longer!!! We were seriously needing a place to sit and take a break!! 🙂

26

This picture sums it up! This is EXACTLY the moment you know you have been waiting in line too long!!! 🙂

27

This ride was so fun that we went down it twice!! The first time down, Christopher got doused…and I mean from HEAD TO TOE!!! It was AWESOME fun!!! 🙂

28O-M-G!!! This is how to make brownie points!!! I really do LOVE this man!!

Our feet were hurting, we were tired, but we really didn’t want this vacation to never end!! Jason and I are already talking about going back again, just the two of us!! I can NOT wait!!! 🙂

Here is to making a lifetime of some really FUN memories!! 😉

California Vacation, Day 2!

Good morning!

If you missed day’s one post, you can find it here!

Today I am going to share some pictures with you from day 2 of our California vacation. This was the day that we spent the entire day at Disneyland! Jason had only been there once, for all of two hours, and really didn’t remember much of anything there. I hadn’t been there since I was 12, so we were both really excited!! 🙂

2

Day two begins!! We are all amazingly smiley for being so tired!! 🙂

3

We met Mary Poppins, and Bert on Main Street. I was shocked to know that Megan and Morgan didn’t know who Mary Poppins was. Now I know what we will be doing on our next Auntie night!! 🙂

4

I was having fun taking all sorts of pictures on Main Street, but as you can see in this picture, all Morgan wanted to do was to hit the RIDES!!! 😉

5

My sweetie and I talking about how to pose for this pic!! 🙂

6

SIDE NOTE: Megan and I were TOTALLY EXCITED because we both picked up this fancy-schmancy polka dot dress!! I think I will have to plan a fancy date where we are dressed to match and get some pics!! 🙂

7

I couldn’t stop taking pictures of the Main Street shops!! The building facades were just so INCREDIBLE!!

8

Another one!

9

Yep! Here is another one!! 🙂

10

I just love this pic!! We look like the Clampets!! 😉

11

Our first ride of the day!! 🙂

12

Next up was Space Mountain, which was a HUGE hit!!! We ended up going back to this ride again later that evening!! 🙂

13

With everything going on at the park, my sweetie finds the largest marble EVER!! It was totally cool!! 🙂14

Pretty soon the kids were in on the action too!! 🙂

15

I can’t remember which ride this is from, but I think our expressions are priceless!! 🙂

???????????????????????????????

This is Morgan waiting for the Matterhorn! 🙂

17

Haunted Mansion is up next! 🙂

???????????????????????????????

Happy kids!! 🙂

19

Ooh! This was the Indiana Jones ride, which was SOOOO EXCITING until…

20

The ride stopped halfway through, which meant we had some picture time!!! 🙂

21

Even though this ride stopped, it ended being ok, because as soon as it was back up and running, we got to ride again!! IT WAS REALLY WORTH IT!!! 😉

22

Patiently waiting for the African Safari ride to be done with – too much sitting, not enough screaming!! 🙂

23

In the afternoon we had decided to split our group in half! Only about a half an hour later, who did we happen upon getting on the train while we were waiting to get on the train??? These cuties!!! 🙂

24We introduced Christopher to the penny arcade, which he had never heard of, but he really liked it, and talked about going back every time he found a penny! 🙂

26Jason, Chris, and I stuck around for the Disney Parade, which was my first!! The music and energy is SOOOO INFECTIOUS! It really made me feel like a little girl again!! You know the one who could imagine anything!! Yeah – she made an appearance that night!! 😉

25So so so so soooooo much fun!!! It was a long day and we were tired, but we knew we were heading to California Adventures tomorrow, so we were ready!! 🙂

I will share those pics with you tomorrow!!! SO MANY MORE TO GO!!! 😉

Here is to a MAGICAL day!!! 🙂
