California Adventure

After our day at Disneyland we went to California Adventure.  The first thing we did is get fast passes for the World of Color and the Radiator Springs Racers.  Then we headed to Car's Land.  It was really cool.  It looked just like Radiator Springs in the movie.  Sienna and I waited in line first for Mater's Junkyard Jamboree.  It was about a 30 minute wait I think but it was ok.  Garrett caught up with us at the front of the line so he could go with us.  Then we got a stroller pass and after the three of us went, my mom and Sienna got to go again. 

 We saw Donald Duck and he was pretty silly.  He was trying to get in our stoller.

 
 
 In A Bug's Land they had this thing with water coming down and Carter had fun playing in it.

 
 We got in our spot and waited for World of Color for over an hour.  If we knew what to expect more we could have gotten a better spot but we were able to see it fine.  It was really cool.

 After that our fast pass for Radiator Springs Racers was finally good.  Garrett, Sienna, and I got in line.  My parents took Carter who was sleeping and headed back to the hotel.  We had to wait about 25 minutes in the fast pass line.  The lines for that ride are crazy.  It was really fun though.

The three of us headed back to the hotel after that.  Sienna fell asleep and we didn't have a stroller so me and Garrett took turns carrying her on the way back.  It was mostly Garrett.  She is heavy and our feet were so tired from walking.  We got back to the hotel at about 10:30 and crashed.

Disneyland 2012!

We made a countdown chain 30 days before we went and every day Sienna would take a ring off and then she would let Carter throw it in the trash.  We were so excited.  We looked at Disneyland stuff a lot on the internet so she couldn't wait to go.

At the end of August we went to California with my parents.  We drove and got there Monday evening.  We stayed really close so we walked down to Downtown Disney and ate dinner and went to a shop.  The first thing Sienna wanted to get was her Minnie ears.  We got her name put on the back of them and she loved them.

Tuesday morning, ready for Disneyland!

 
 

 We had breakfast at the Paradise Pier with the characters.  It was Surf's Up with Mickey and friends.  It was fun to be able to do this and the breakfast was good.

We saw Max. 

Carter gave him five.

 Sienna loved seeing Minnie.

 
 It was pretty hot when we were there but it could've been worse.  It was nice in the evenings.

 Our first ride.  Sienna decided the first one would be Dumbo.

 Sienna liked going on this "pirate ship".  She said we were sailing the seas.

 The jungle cruise.  For whatever reason Sienna says she's on Grandpa's team even though she loves her Grandma.  She loves to tease her with Grandpa.  She says that Carter is on Grandma's team.  Sienna and Grandpa like to call Grandma, "Granny".  My mom pretends to get mad and she thinks it's hilarious.

 
The kids both really liked It's a Small World.

We had so much fun on Splash Mountain.  Sienna is way more brave than I was at her age.  She said it was scary fun.  The worker asked Garrett if he wanted to sit in the back with her and she said she wanted to be in front.  She's so fun.  We got on Pirates of the Caribbean and at first when it was going really slow she said, "boring!".  She likes the exciting rides.

 We didn't quite make it for the Fantasmic show or the fireworks.  We were too busy trying to fit in all the rides we wanted to go on.  We saw part of the fireworks but Sienna had already crashed.  On the walk home Carter fell asleep on Garrett.  We stayed til about ten.  We had so much fun!  We were all worn out.

 He climbed up to squish his sister because he wants to do everything she does.

Carter is 30.25 inches tall and 23.6 lbs.  He's 25% in height and weight.  He says ball, woof woof, hi, wow, whoa.  He sure is a mess, but he's still a sweet boy.

D-Backs Game

On August 11th we went to the D-Backs game with my parents, Papa, Brad, Lyndsey, Weston, and Wyatt.  Garrett had to work so he couldn't go.  The kids went up to the clubhouse area with my parents.  They got to play up there and see Baxter.  The three little kids all had matching Baxter shirts.  Baxter signed Sienna and Carter's shirts.  Carter really liked him. 

 

The kids got to go in this area that they did batting practice.  Both kids hit the ball off the tee.  My dad helped Carter.  They loved it.  Carter loves balls. The kids were both really good.  The Diamondbacks didn't win but we had a great time.
