Day 4 California










































































































California Adventure! It was even hotter today, and no shade over these lines:( I thought it would be so much fun, the kids wouldn't want to complain:) But, the heat and the long lines didn't go over well:(


So we went on all the most popular rides! The Toy Story Ride was one of the favorites, and of course the Big Roller coaster. I think I enjoyed the Flight over California Ride the most, It is amazing how sitting in a seat with a movie screen all around you, can feel so real.It felt like you could just reach out and touch everything.

It only took about 4 hours to go on everything we wanted, so then we headed back over to Disneyland, to get our autographs. On the way out we ran into Chip & Dale, Stitch, and Minnie and Pluto.


We got over to Disneyland and the parade was just about to begin. We had the best spot! We were in the middle with the benches. The girls stood right at the edge of the road, and all the characters were talking right to them! They even got some High-Fives.


When the Parade was all over we went over to Town Hall and found out where some of the other characters were so we could get pictures and autographs!

Day 3






















Today is Sunday, Off to Disneyland! The kids are very excited! It was really packed, and very hot. So unfortunately it didn't take to long for the complaining to begin! We Pretty much looked for the main rides and went on them. But there was up to a 45 minute wait at most of them. Luckily there did seem to be some shade in the lines. We didn't see many characters today, so we didn't get any autographs.






We ended up cutting leaving after about 6 hours, the kids wanted to go swim. So back to the pool!!!

California Trip day 2
















The 2nd day we were off to Universal Studios! We went to the Water World Show first and the kids love it! My son wants to see the movie now, but the movie store in town doesn't care it anymore. He was very disappointed:(





The kids enjoyed the tour, we ended up in the back, which the kids were a little disappointed about. But it was all worth it when we were visiting the Bates Motel, and Mr Bates was coming at us and ended with knife in hand right beside my boyfriend, Kevin as we were driving off:)





We did get a nice view of the demonstration on how they blow up cars also. I was pretty happy to get such a good picture.





Then we were off to all the other rides, the kids really enjoyed the Simpson's ride!





While we were in line for the Back draft, the Scoobey Doo gang drove by and waved to us. That was the last excitement of the day, then back to the Motel to swim for the evening!

Our California Trip







This summer we took a vaction to California. An 18 hour drive with 4 kids. My oldet didn't want to go, because she couldn't bring a friend and she really wanted to go to Sea World, but Sea World wasn't on our list this time. So she stayed with the baby @ Grandmas house. I know Grandma enjoyed having them for the week, but I sure missed them.



So we had my 2 other children, and my boyfriends 2 children. We made sure we headed out at night so the kids would sleep on the way, but that didn't go over so well. They were so excited about getting their, the girls didn't sleep well. So we ended up hearing a lot more "Are we there yet"s then we had wanted:)



We got to our motel about 4:00! We hit the LA traffic we didn't figure in. I guess it starts around 2 like it does in the Seattle area! So we settled in got some Little Ceaser Pizza, and went swimmimg!
