California Vacation

Here are some pictures of our Vacation there are lots of pictures but we were gone for a week. It was a lot of fun and the driving was not to bad because we stopped in Vegas to visit my grandpa on the way in and out.

Wednesday our first day in California we spent the whole day at the beach. We played in the water, and collected sea shells that Curt is planning to make me a necklace with.

This is my sister, my mom and me waiting for the wave. We spent most of the day jumping over the waves, can life get any better.

My sister made this heart in the sand

YEAH DISNEY LAND !!!!! We spent three days playing in Disney Land and Disney's California Adventure Park. We had a great time other then I was exhausted and my feet ached every night, but it was worth it.

Cinderellas Fairy Godmother, She is one of my favorite because I did a dance to "Bidity Bodity Boo" when I was little.

Tink!!

Hanging with the Mad Hatter, He was a funny guy

We got to meet Goffy, Curt did a Goffy Yell one of the times we went on Splash Mountain.

My Dad and sister Debbie

My Mom and I, we did not want to be in the same car as my Dad because he likes to spin the cup like crazy and it was our third day of rides. I don't think the workers wanted to clean up a mess :)

This was our very last ride on Splash Mountain and my brother deiced to go big or go home, so he created the biggest wave he has ever seen. My mom was wearing a rain coat and still got soaked. We all had a good laugh.

If you can't tell that says California it is the Sign for the California Adventure Park. while over here we went on a sweet roller coaster that launches you like a rocket at the beginning called the California Screamer, we went on soaring over California which I enjoyed, and Tower of Terror. Curt is not a fan of heights so he did not go on Tower of Terror. We also watched a "It's Tough to be a Bug" and "Muppets 3-D"

Mr. Incredible

After Disney Land we went to the Wild Animal Park. We walked around to see animals and rode on a tour car to see other animals.

I like Giraffes they are different and elegant with their long necks

This lions loved to sleep on and in this jeep

Oh look at the little elephant, there was also a baby but we did not get a picture. Also just before getting to the elephants I rolled my foot and pulled a muscle in my foot. It hurt bad but just stretching it out , resting it, and walking on it helped. I am so glad it was nothing more serious.

Look at the colorful Lorikeet it was posing for the picture.

This is my brother Brian with a lorikeet on his shoulder

SEA WORLD !! We went to Sea World on Monday. It was nice because it was not to busy

I really liked the Killer Whale Show, for being such big animals they can do some cool tricks. We chose to sit up by my Dad and not get splashed by "Shamu", while my mom, sister and brother Brian sat in the splash zone and got soaked.

Here is Curt playing with the Bat Rays, they look like they are flying through the water.

My Dad payed for my sister and I to do the dolphin experience, he was going to let us go swimming with a dolphin but it was really expensive. The dolphin we got to play with was a 3 year old girl named Captain, she was a silly little talkative dolphin. We got to pet captain, feed captain and learned how to get the dolphin to do tricks. My sister loves dolphins and was giggling the whole time. It was a fun experience.

This as Dolly the Dolphin Jumping I tried to crop it but i guess it did not work. Below is a penguin, my brother Allen wanted to take one home as a pet.

On our way to Universal Studios we stopped by the San Diego Temple. I think this is a beautiful temple, it reminds me of a Castle.

Curt took this picture I thought it turned our really well

On the last day of our trip we went to Universal Studios. There was some fun rides and cool things to see but I liked Disney Land better but it may have been that I was worn out and ready to go home.

Here is Curt at the KWIK-E-MART by the Simpson Ride, The Simpsons is not my favorite show but the ride was the coolest Magical motion ride I have every been on it actually felt like i was on the roller coaster.

The Back Lot tour was cool, you got to see where they filmed a lot of movies and TV shows and showed you how they did some of the special effects.

The Jurassic park ride was cool and it had a steep drop in to the water at the end and I thought splash mountain was steep. The Mummy ride was sweet too but really short.

Here is one of the cars from Jurassic Park

Here is a car from Back to the Future

Here are the cars from the fast and the furious, I thought the effects were cool

Here are some pictures of the souvenirs we got while on our trip

If you can't guess we had some one at SEA world draw this up for us

I got this cute bag from Disney Land, I am not a fan of big Logos, so I thought it would work well.

Thanks Family for a great trip, we have had fun and have a lot of good memories to cherish. We love you.
