Day #3 Legoland

The 3rd and final day we were in California we went to Legoland.  Jeff's family had already headed home so it was just G, Jeff, and I.  Poor Jeff got really sick about half way through day#2 at Disney and still felt horrible at Legoland.  He didn't do anything but take pictures of G and I and sit on benches as we rode rides and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.  Poor guy :(  Other than Jeff being really sick we had a great day and enjoyed the crazy awesomeness of Legoland!






Poor Jeff was lagging behind...at least he was taking pictures :)

Here we go!
We were about to go on a very scary dragon roller coaster :)

The scary dragon

The scary roller coaster

And the dragon face painting G needed after all that dragon talk

Making sure it was exactly what he wanted :)

Looking good!


Yikes!

As the day wore on G's dragon lost a bit of it's scary factor

And just looked more like the dirty face of a cute boy :)



Sweet Jeff's face most of the day :(  Poor guy

4-D fun...(although the movie was seriously the dumbest thing I have ever seen...at least G like it)

G found a surfer lego guy that he said looked just like him!

And so they surfed...

and surfed :)






Where to next?



G couldn't help himself but to try and fight with Chewbacca :)



A ginormous StarWars ship made out of tiny lego's!  Unreal!



G was pretty impressed


Although he wasn't super impressed with the pilot...I don't think the pilot looked fierce enough 

 I won't post a caption for every single picture here, but miniland USA was simply amazing!  We spent tons of time just walking around and looking at all the amazing detail and accuracy and wondering how long it took them to put together all those tiny pieces together!!!!































































G LOVES Yoda!!

I feel a connection with Princess Leia...maybe it's the buns :)

Again punching lego figures


Fun with my son :)
 Whew that was a lot of fun packed into to 3 LONG days.  We were more than ready to hop on the plane the next day and head to NM to my family!!  

California Adventure Day #2

The first day of Disney was a success, so onto day 2!  Our day didn't start quite as early since we didn't have the character breakfast which was nice.  When we went to wake G up I said 

"Hey do you know what day it is?"
 G groggily with his eyes still closed "No what?"  
Me:  "It's Disneyland day"
G opened his eyes all excited and said: "Oh yay!"
He then closed his eyes and went right back to sleep and even started snoring! :)  It was really cute and very telling of how exhausted our little man was.  He finally got up and by the time we made it to the park he was bright eyed and ready to go for day #2!


After he woke up and said "Oh yay!" and fell right back asleep :)

The whole gang with Donald Duck

Me: "G what were you doing?"
G: "I pulled Donald's tongue to see if he was real.  It was dry, Donald is a fake"
Jeff and I laughed uncontrollably while G just looked at us unimpressed with Donald and us.  It was hilarious :)

Posing with Donald the fake!

Never ride the ferris wheel at California Adventure...longest line + super boring ride= ridiculous amounts of unnecessary screaming from bored kids...not impressed at all!!

G's attempt at dancing with Phineas and Ferb, but let's be honest that is way to embarrassing for my little man...why do I even try :)

Cars Land!

Secret Confession:  I would love nothing more than to be a dancer at Disneyland.  You get to dance around to fun music and wear a cheerleading outfit while people cheer you on...seriously not much in life that could be better than that!  I know this is a job people usually do before they have a family, but this job is on my bucket list for when my kids are all raised.  They can bring my grandkids to watch Grammy dance at Disney!  Straight up awesomeness!

G loved the Incredibles!

The Army dudes were awesome...although I think the needed just one girl back up dancer.  It took everything in me to stay seated and not insert myself into there dance, but when I spoke with them afterwards they said they would love to have me in a couple of years when I am known as GrammyA :)

G's youngest cousin Violet wasn't that impressed with California Adventure :)

"Give me your best Disney face"
