Happiest Place on Earth

Over spring break we had a chance to vacation in California. We had 6 days packed full of fun. We went to Disneyland and California Adventure, Sea World, San Diego's Wild Animal Park, and Universal Studios. Since Mama Lou is staying with us until their house is done, she was able to come with. We had a blast. Here are some of the highlights;

Max and Paige at the Wild Animal Park....the Gorillas were Max's favorite....and by the way, our kids are no good at posing for pictures. We can't get both of them to look at the camera for the life of us!

Max and Daddy on his favorite ride Pirates of the Caribbean. We had to force him on it the first time, but after that he was Captain Jack Sparrow the rest of the trip!


We waited in line for WAY too long for Mickey Mouse and when we finally got there, Paige was terrified of him! This was the only line that tested our patience.

Max loves 'The Sword in the Stone' so he had to try to pull the sword out. He was rather bothered that he couldn't get it out. He REALLY wanted that sword.

Here we are in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle, once again trying to push the kids' faces so they will look at the camera. Very frustrating.

While in San Diego we visited Old Town and ate some authentic Mexican food. Some guy balloon tied a sword for Max and a Butterfly for Paige. Max was pretty pumped because he had been begging for us to buy him a sword since he had tried to pull out the sword from the stone.

At the Wild Animal Kingdom Max went in and fed the birds. Right when he walked in the door 2 or 3 birds flew down and landed right on him! The look on his face was hilarious!

If you ask Paige about her favorite part of the vacation, she will say it was when she got to see Dora. She never watches Dora, so it surprised me that she like seeing her so much.

While in San Diego, we drove over the bridge to Coronado and we were so happy that we did. It was so beautiful! We walked on the beach and Paige LOVED walking in the ocean. She was adorable.
