Vacation Part 2

On Sunday morning we SLEPT IN, ate a tasty breakfast with P&JB and kids - she made pancakes with coconut syrup, even though it was supposed to be fast Sunday - we decided to put it off a week. We went to church with them, took a nap and just enjoyed relaxing and being together! The kids played together so well, and it was nice to meet some new cousins.

On Monday we ate breakfast and said goodbye to the B family and checked into our hotel across the street from the parks. We were lucky enough to be able to check in first thing and head straight into California Adventure for the day.

 Arc was TOTALLY STOKED about her Minnie Mouse ears.

 Waiting for the Pixar parade.

 

They really enjoyed the parade!

 Bug's land!

 These boys really loved having so much fun with Daddy!

Cars Racers was definitely a hit, and with the long lines, we were grateful for both our fast passes and toddler swap!

Cars Land was a definite favorite for these "Cars" loving boys.

 This girl was such a trooper. Having an umbrella stroller and the Beco were just right for her. She took great naps. She loved the finger lights we put on the stroller too.

 Flo's V8 Cafe totally pleased these two - especially with the souvenir McQueen lunchboxes for their dinners.

 

 What child doesn't love the carousel?

The swings were a hit too.

 

Waiting for World of Color. We ended up not being able to see it very well because of our seating, but it was still fun. We enjoyed some cream cheese pretzels and walked back to our hotel!

The next morning we headed back to Disneyland. We tried to make the whole trip pretty low key, not rushing from one thing to another. We were able to go back to the hotel in the middle of the day for a nap if needed, swim a little and just have as much fun as we wanted.

 Cpc had decided Space Mountain was his favorite, so he wanted to go on it over and over.

 Toon Town

 

So happy to see Mickey's house

 

Immediate best friends with Goofy!

 These two may have gotten completely SOAKED.

 Splash Mountain was Cdc's favorite - he didn't get wet.

 

 

 We love Dumbo!

 The Tea Cups were Arc's absolute favorite, hands down.

The boys were both so proud of their Autopia driver license's.

 What would a trip to Disneyland be without "It's a Small World"?

 We had to keep talking Cdc into going on Space Mountain with Cpc. He would grip our arms throughout the ride, but he was a great sport about it.

Cpc was SO PROUD of getting to do Jedi training. He did awesome with it, and took Darth Vader right out. We could not convince Cdc to even attempt to get selected. He was convinced that since he was not yet 4 years old, it was not acceptable for him to do it - since it says ages 4 and up.

 The boys were thrilled to meet Chip & Dale, they really love that cartoon - and Aunt Ace bought them each one on her trip to Disneyland last month.

After another full day we walked back to our hotel, enjoyed a few minutes of swimming and  hot tubbing and went to bed exhausted!
