California & Disneyland!!

I surprised the kids with a trip to California!  We went to Legoland where Kelsy and fam met us (another surprise for the kids!) then had a beach day together before they had to go home.  Then we went to Seaworld and Disneyland!  It was so much fun!!  It was really our first vacation that wasn't just visiting family (which we also love!) and I'm so happy we were able to do it!  Although, it fed our appetite and we now have a list of all the places we want to go! Of course I have a bajillion pictures, so I'm really going to try and widdle it down.

And we're off!!

Don't be fooled, the weather was not great, but that didn't stop these kids from taking advantage of the pool every single day!


Legoland with cousins!
















Tons of seals (sea lions?) on the beach!


Climbers gotta climb



Ice cream before the Lees had to go

Sea World!!  I have always wanted to go see the Orcas, dream come true!



They wanted to sit in the splash zone... we regretted it :/




Disneyland!! - Day One





She passed out this night!
I let them get a souvenir from each place.  You can't really see the unikitty from Legoland, the orca is from Seaworld, and Minnie from Disney, she brought the dog.  It's her Sherman replacement when she can't sleep with the real thing :p

Disney day 2 




 We finally met the man himself!  Or should I say, the Mouse!

Disney Day 3 - California Adventure!

You wait in line to meet "one or more Disney characters" we had heard Elsa was there and were hoping it would still be her when we got to the front of the line.  Total bonus that Anna was there too!!

This one was fun because they had said no more pictures.  
Then Goofy just came up behind them and posed :)

About halfway through the 3 days at Disney, they got into the signature collecting.

That time your kid matched the sign! :D

I don't know why but I love this picture!  
We had a fastpass for a ride late at night, so we came back in jammies when it was dark... 
it was just a fun little bonus adventure!


This was the one day we paid for the Max Pass.  We were tired from a long trip and it was just easier than running back and forth for fastpasses.  But bonus, it comes with free professional pictures (not my crappy phone camera).  And these were the two characters they each wanted to see the most.  Black Panther and Minnie Mouse!
