Disneyland (prepare for picture overload)

The Happiest Place on Earth!
I love this picture of Garrett with Minnie.  It is not his favorite picture he looks at it now and because Minnie wears a dress it is to girly he doesn't love it.  I love the way he gave her a big hug.  I think it is so cute!


We got to see the Disney Street Parade on Tuesday night.  It was freezing but the kids had a great time they both got to go out on the street and dance with the Characters with little drums!  They loved it!



 Buzz Light year was a favorite.  We kept missing him by just a little bit but finally we were able to get pictures with him!

 Last time we went to Disneyland Justin wouldn't get up and do the Jedi Training.  Before we even left for Disneyland this time he told us that he wanted to do it.  He was so excited.  He was ready and he made sure he did everything he could to get picked.  They picked Justin and when Justin got up to go do it Garrett got right up and followed Justin.  They were pretty quick to tell Garrett the he was not one of the ones they had picked.  Garrett of coarse started to cry the guy that was picking the kids saw that he was crying and took pity on him and let him go join too. 
 He was having a few problems activating the light saber!
 Fighting Darth Maul!


They both did a great job and loved it!
We also got to see the Christmas parade and Santa while we were there.  The kids had a pretty good talk with Santa. The kids loved finding the Characters and getting their autographs and pictures taken with them. 




We had a lot of fun this time in California Adventure.  Justin's new favorite ride is the Screamin California.  Garrett loved the Toy Story Mania ride. 

The Green Army men that were always with Woody and Jessie were so funny.  They cracked me up.  I want to know how they got their faces so green.


Garrett loved the "It's tough to be a bug" movie.  
 McQueen and Mator were a favorite of coarse.

We finally found Donald Duck.  Every time we go to Disneyland Donald is no where to be found!  The kids were pretty excited!
 Justin did not want his picture take with Mulan(because she is a girl) and Mushu.  I won that fight!

The World of Color light show was amazing.   I think it was one of my favorite things about the whole trip!


We had a great time!  Mike is already planning to go back in 2012 when they have the new "Cars" radiator springs open in California Adventure!

Lego Land

We had a good time in Lego Land!  Garrett loved it, he was in heaven!  It amazes me how much stuff they have built out of Lego's. 






 This Giraffe was huge!  It was probably my favorite thing in the park.

Sea World

In Sea World first thing we went and rode the Journey to Atlantis ride.  Mike got soaked!  The kids loved it!  We seen the dolphin show, the otter and sea lion show and the Shamu show that kids loved them all! 





 The kids thought this otter was pretty cute!
 Garrett thought that the star fish were pretty cool to touch and there was no way Justin was going to touch them until he seen that Garrett was doing it and then I guess he thought it would be ok if he did it to!





 This ride is just like the tea cups in Disneyland except Mike got it spinning so fast the boys could not keep there heads upright and it made Grandma more that a little sick!  She was pretty green when we got off but the boys loved it and wanted to go again!
