California Trip

Waiting in line for the Toy Story ride

 In December we had a chance to go to California with Ryan's family the week before Christmas.  We went to Disneyland, Sea World, the San Diego Safari Park and the San Diego Zoo.  It was a busy week, but really fun. 

 By the Tractor ride in Cars Land.  This was by far Andrew's favorite ride we went on.  He still asks to go on the Tractors.  That's his favorite part in the movie as well.

 Another of Andrew's favorites- the Carousel

 Here we are at Mater's petting zoo.

 Playing on the nets at Sesame Street Land in Sea World.  Andrew would have staying there all day.

 Petting the Manta Rays- this was a favorite too.  He would get so excited when his fingers touched one- then he jerk his hand back away from it and then put it back in again.

 Taking a look at the sharks.  Ariana thought it was pretty cool.

Is this not the most gargantuan bath tub you have ever seen?  This was in the condo where we stayed.  It was the size of a regular hot tub or larger.  We about had to climb in with the kids to give them baths.

 We bought Andrew popcorn ( one of his most requested treats).  We put him in the stroller with it.  He was so tired that he fell asleep still trying to put popcorn in his mouth.  I think there was popcorn in his mouth when he fell asleep.

 Visiting Toon Town- here we are all together.  We didn't get nearly enough with Ari out of the stroller.

 Andrew loved seeing the characters until we got near them.  At that point he would shut his eyes and pretend they weren't there. Silly kid.

Ariana spent a lot of time bundled up sleeping in the stroller, so we had to document her carriage ride.

It was such a fun trip.  We are glad we were able to go and enjoy spending some quality time together with family.
