Wednesday, Day 4 of Disneyland Vacation

Wednesday we went to Sea World. I love the drive down to San Diego. I remember it from when I was little. Being right next to the ocean and the dense fog that seemed to always be there. It was a pretty day, perfectly overcast.

Pictures with the Clydesdale

My little girls

The main attraction:

Gotta love Shamu!!

However, our family could spend the whole day at the Forbidden Reef petting and feeding the

California bat rays

Appetizing.....right??

You'd think she'd done this before....if it weren't for her somewhat disgusted face.

I think it went for his finger

Everyone gettin' in on the action

Bright shining smiles!!

We watched the flamingos for a while & all I could think about was this song from when I was a kid "Mr. Stand on One Leg is such a funny bird, standing there on one leg is so absurd!" Anyway, just a little tidbit for ya...

The dolphin show

Atticus was mesmerized!

Anxiously awaiting the Clyde & Seymour show

And there he is.

The shark attraction

The underwater tube is extremely cool

Duh dum, duh dum, duh dum....

Penguin Encounter-One of Brandon's favorite attractions

Cutest penguins EVER!!!

Atticus loving the Commerson's dolphin.

Next we went back over to Journey to Atlantis

We had checked it out when we first got there, but

decided we would wait until the sun came out to get wet.

And there we are.

Brandon stayed back with Atticus as he was too little to ride. We got off the ride and met back with Brandon who was laughing hysterically, but trying to be nonchalant about what he was doing. He kept feeding money into the spray guns at the end of the hill and blasting poor, unsuspecting passengers that he had never before seen in his life!! The guns are placed perfectly so you think you are finally out of any possible range of water, and have finally managed to put your hair back in place and then you get pelted right in the face with a blast of water. He probably blew 20 bucks just in the time it took for us to get off the ride. I have to admit, it was pretty hilarious though.

The star fish at the California Tide Pool

I love all the hands-on exhibits at Sea World!!

Even Atticus got to touch them.

Waving goodbye to Shamu, until next time!!!

Tuesday, Day 3 of Disneyland Vacation

Tuesday we went to Disneyland!We had purchased some autograph books and pens for Braxton, Laini & Xanna as they were certain they would see many celebrities & wanted to have proof that they had acutally seen them. It was a good thing because upon arriving we were greeted by several celebrities!

Goofy-(I know, I couldn't tell which was which either),

Chip N Dale (at least that's who they said they were),

Donald Duck (notice the handy autograph books),

Pluto,

And our gracious host, Mickey Mouse himself!!

Atticus stared in amazement at most of them - Cutest picture ever!

Poor Pluto could barely see to sign the books.

We went on some rides

This Kid had such a good aim!!!

Only the non-pukers braved this ride. Although part way through Laini looked like she might lose it any second!!

Atticus was sad he couldn't go on the teacups, but Cotton Candy is a cure all!

We visited Toon Town which amazes me every time I see it.
It's so cartoony, but real.....weird!
I wish I could have this mailbox...It's so cute!!

Little Pumpkin Seed

Then the contest of strength:

Braxton
Laini

Xanna

Poor Minnie couldn't keep them out of her fridge either...

He wanted to slide down that banister SO BAD!!!

So I let him!! : -)

She's always wanted to play the piano. This really is the place where dreams come true!!

A few celebrities made random appearances

My little princesses.

One day she'll be a celebrity!!

And of course the wet photos. A great way to end the day!!!
