California Day 3

I was so giddy to go to the beach! One summer I spent a month with my cousin at my uncle Bob's house in Mesa Verde. My uncle had to work and so to keep us entertained he would drop us off at the beach every day. I loved that summer! We had the time of our lives and I couldn't wait to go back! We decided on Huntington beach. It was a slightly cool day and the beach was empty but that didn't stop us from enjoying our time there!


Ian was not so sure about the water






Adam and Matthais body surfed. There was no way I was getting that wet, it was cold!

Ian was content in the sand

Matthais just happened to be wearing a Huntington Beach shirt.

After the beach we went to the hotel, rested, showered and then headed to California Adventure park!


Ian had this dollar he would not let go of. He carried it around all day and held on to it on all the rides.




We KNEW we would have to find Mater. We found him just as they were preparing to close this part up. Ian was enthralled. I wish we would have had more time for him to enjoy it!

He wouldn't take his eyes of him! Lightening McQueen was right next to Mater but I dont' think Ian even noticed!

I hate, Hate, HATED this ride. Ian was not happy to go on it and discovered right away that the seat belts unbuckled just like the ones in the car. I spent the entire time with my eyes closed, holding Ian's hand with my legs over his praying he would stop fighting me and not unbuckle the seat belt. The ride itself might not be that scary but this was definitely one of the scariest rides I went on!
Owen wasn't tall enough for this one! we rode the carousel instead!


One of our favorites! Toy story mania!
 
I knew we had to see world of color but our fast passes weren't until 9:15. Adam had no desire to hang around that long so we went to Ihop for dinner and then I went back with these 3. I would definitely say it was worth waiting around for! We had front row seats (yes we got wet) and it was amazing!


We came back to sleeping boys, Ian with Mater in hand! So sweet!

Looks like you guys had a great trip! I can't tell what the ride is that you hated. My kids don't like scary rides so we probably didn't go on it. I love the pictures of Adam and Ian - Adam is always taking such good care of Ian. He's such a good dad. World of Color didn't work out as nicely as it did for you - it was super crowded! We could hardly see it. And that was with fast passes. I guess we'll have to go back. Glad you guys had a good time.
