California Adventures, One Last Time!

 This is the second half of Tuesday.  The characters from Cars would drive down this road and so instead of waiting in line to take a picture with Mater, we took one as he drove by.

 After lunch Ember had her fill and needed a nap!!

 This was Tayson's favorite ride.  I think he went on it three times.  He would have went more, but mom and dad were done.

 They have this water show and so I wanted Brice to take my picture with it in the background.  Right after he took this picture it ended.

 So, Tayson and Ember really like Phineas and Ferb on the Disney channel.  So we found the care they drive around but got the end of the show and so this is the back of the car.  If you look close you can see Ferb on the right and one of the girls in the orange with the yellow sash.  We came upon them and Tayson tried to see them but didn't get there in time but to see the end. 

 Here is Tayson and Brice standing along the road in cars land.

 Here are me and Brice near a sign that was quite true.  I tell you what I felt like I walked a marathon by the time we left!!

 Here is Flo's cafe.  It looked just like in the movie.  We had a really good shake here.

 Here is the sign welcoming you to Cars Land. 

 This is the waterfall by Grizzly Falls.  Ember wouldn't get in the picture with them.

 This picture is for Brice's dad!!  He love a  good hot dog.

 Tayson eating his Mickey ice cream!!

 We found out they had a lego story in Downtown Disney and so we, meaning Tayson had to go.  This is made up with all Legos. It was awesome.

 Here is the street that we would walk every day to Disneyland.  We had such a good time and I am so glad we decided to go.  Ember still talks about what she saw and Tayson would love to go back tomorrow!!

This picture was supposed to be before the road, but here it is.  This is Ember in front of the Hulk made up of all legos.

Disneyland Again!!

 So on Wednesday we split up the day and went to Disneyland in the morning and California Adventures in the afternoon.  Here is daddy and Ember on Dumbo again.  Ember loved that ride.

 Tayson and me went on the Matterhorn Bobsleds while they were on Dumbo, except they were closed at the time so we were watching dad an Ember ride Dumbo.  We did get to go on the bobsleds, and once is good for me!!

 I took Ember to Minnie and Mickey's house and she was in 7th heaven.  She could have stayed here the whole rest of the day.  She is sitting in Minnie's chair.

 We were the first ones to see Mickey for the day.  I didn't get any pictures of his house, but it was nice and cool in there.

 I needed a picture of Mickey by myself.  I have a huge stuffed Mickey that I have had for 30 plus years and so I decided I needed a picture with him.

 This is Minnie's house again.  Ember is playing with the phone.

 Ember is lying down on Minnie's bed.

 Ember is washing the dishes for Minnie.

 And finally Minnie came home and we got a picture.  Ember was so excited to see her.

 Here is Ember and Rapunzel.  She was really cute with Ember and talked to her for a minute.  This was the last princess we saw because we never could find Belle.  We saw her the first day and then after that she was no where to be found..

 Here are Brice and Tayson on an island over by the pirates of the Caribbean ride.  He would take Tayson and I would take Ember and we would go on different rides that they wanted to ride again.

 I had to take a picture by this ice cream parlor.  My maiden name is Gibson and so I thought it was appropriate.  You can also see Brice taking the picture in the window!!

 Ember and Tayson wanted the iconic Minnie and Mickey Mouse ears so we took a picture in front of the entrance.

Here is another shot of them in their hats by the entrance with dad this time.  We had such a good time in Disneyland and I am so glad we got to take the kids.

California Adventures

 On Tuesday we headed over to California Adventures.  Here is Tayson and Ember and mom in the huge ferris wheel.  Brice can't handle some rides to he sat this one out.

 I couldn't resist putting this one up.  Love here little face.  She would sit in this stroller the whole time unless we were going on a ride.  Both her and Tayson were awesome at Disneyland.

 Ember took this picture while me and Tayson went on California Screamin.  I liked it!!

 I don't remember what this ride is called, but they is Tayson leaning over to look at the water below.  He was so excited because he got to sit by himself.

 While daddy and Tayson went on the Grizzly run me and Ember found some Mickey Mouse ice cream..

 Here are these two waiting for the caterpillar train ride.

 This ride is Flick's Flyers and it was pretty fun.  Ember is looking up probably thinking what have I got myself into.  Brice didn't go on this ride either.  If the ride went in circles, Brice couldn't get on.

 Ember thought this was so cool because she got to drive.  It was called the tuck and roll and it was bumper cars.  I did control the gas and she tried to steer.  Tayson is behind us bumping into us.

 Here is good ole' Mater!!  We saw him and DJ and Lightening McQueen while Brice and Tayson waited 90 minutes to rides the Radiator Springs racers!!  That was the longest wait for the whole time we were there.

I kept thinking they were coming, so I would snap pictures.  Cars land is so cool, it looks just like the movie.  This is the racers coming down the track.  Brice and Tayson waited a long time, but we had a kid swap so I went on it with Tayson and ended up only waiting 10 minutes!!

Disneyland

 We finally made it to Disneyland on Monday.  Here are the kids waiting to go inside.  Tayson is in a stroller, he was a little big for it, but it was so much easier to push him than try and drag him around.  We got there at 7:30 and had a plan.  Brice had an actual plan of what rides to go on first and what rides to get a fast pass and come back to.  I was a little skeptical at first, but I would highly recommend using a plan.

 Here me and Ember are on the Dumbo ride.  She loved it!!  Tayson is in a Dumbo behind us.

 You have to ride in the Teacups at Disneyland... Brice didn't put this on our plan, but we fit it in.  Ember loved it!

 Here is Tayson and Brice on It's a Small World ride.  I am sorry for all of you out there that enjoys this ride, but going on it once is enough for me.  Ember did enjoy seeing all of the little dolls inside.

 Ember loved Toontown and could have stayed there all day.  Mom and Tayson went on the Roger Rabbit ride while dad and Ember played.  She was so excited to see Goofy!

 We went to see Tinkerbell and before you see her you see another faire.  I did not get any good shots of Ember with Tinkerbell, but this one turned out.

 Ember loved seeing all the princesses.  Here she is with Aurora, who talked to her the longest.  She had a Belle dress and we saw Belle and she waved at Ember but we never did find her again..

 Here is Ember and Cinderella.  She certainly has the hair to look like Cinderalla.  While we were waiting to see the Princesses Tayson and Brice were off riding Pirates of the Caribbean and Indiana Jones.  I of course had the camera so I didn't get any shots of the boys.

This is right in front of the Nemo ride with the Materhorn Bobsled ride behind us.

California: Part 2

 On Sunday we decided to head to the Los Angeles Temple.  It is one gorgeous Temple.  It was to peaceful and quiet there.

 This is Tayson at the visitors center.  You could draw a picture and then send it to someone's email.

 The grounds around the Temple were amazing.  It's hard to see my two!!

 I wanted to take pictures of everything, but the kids were not as willing to take a lot of pictures!!

 The flowers were so pretty.. here me and Ember are posing in front of them.

 Brice had the camera here so he was taking most of the pics, but I had him get in on a few.

 I loved this picture of the temple.

 Tayson took our picture by the sign, not bad for a seven year old!!

 I told you the flowers were pretty!!

 After the temple we went to take pictures in front of the hollywood sign.

And yes Tayson took this picture as well... up next is pictures from Disneyland!!
