Cameron's California Adventure

Rian and I wanted to take Cameron on a last hurrah before his brothers or sisters come and also while I was still comfortable traveling. We were supposed to go a few weeks ago, but had to reschedule because of some work related stuff. So we went this past weekend.

WE HAD A BLAST!

I found myself teary eyed a few times because of the fact that Cameron was so excited and smiling and glad to see everything.

So, without further ado, our trip to California...in pictures.
Cameron got his very own seat on the airplane. He was so excited to see the trucks and other planes.

So excited in fact, that he fell asleep 10 minutes after the plane took off and didn't wake up until about 10 minutes before we landed.

We are finally at Disneyland! We are taking the shuttle to Downtown Disney to get some dinner and explore. Cameron loved riding the buses almost more than he enjoyed the rides at Disneyland.

Waiting in line for dinner. Just chillin' with his hands in his pockets.

We ate dinner at a Mexican Restaurant located in Downtown Disney. They had a balloon artist and Cameron requested a shark. Funny story: On the way out of the restaurant, there was a group of 20-something year old girls. Cameron is carrying his shark, he walks by them, sees a girl and pretends the shark is biting her. He shoves the shark into her boobs and growls at her. Hilarious. The girls at the table all got a good laugh and of course told us how cute Cameron is. Mission accomplished.

Do you think we wore our little guy out? Airplane, bus, Downtown Disney, hitting on chicks, dinner = tired babe.

Most of the rides wouldn't allow photography during the ride. So a lot of our pictures are from waiting in line. This was our very first ride, "Pirates of the Carribean." Cameron was a tiny bit scared going down the little hills on the boat, but all of the characters and other stuff, he was just fine. If you were on our boat, you would of heard things like, "Oooohhh, look at that cute puppy." "Wow! Treasure!" "I don't want to get wet Mommy."

Being the boy he is, Cameron was more interested in the flying spaceships instead of the flying Dumbo ride. Daddy took him on this one while I put my feet up and rested a while.

Mommy and Cameron on one of Cameron's potential "favorites" for the day. He LOVED the carousel and cried when we had to get off. The other big favorite: The Jungle Cruise. The only ride that we actually rode twice that day.

Did I mention that the day we were there was the first day of Disney Christmas? It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The entire park was decorated in Christmas decorations. It was the first day of the Christmas parade. There was a giant Christmas tree. Above is Sleeping Beauty's castle. Do you see the snow on it? That was the first day! At 5:30 when it got dark, they did a lighting of the castle and made it snow in Disneyland! THEY MADE IT SNOW! The castle was lit up with millions of icicle lights.

One of the trees that I got a picture of in the park.

Disneyland all day. Drive to Oceanside right afterwards (about an hour and a half). What a trooper. He fell asleep in this position and didn't wake up when we changed his diaper, shirt or pants. He slept like a little rock. So did Rian and I.

Day 2. Sea World. We also ate lunch at In N' Out Burger before heading there...delicious as usual. We hit up Sea World and it was far from crowded. We felt like no one was there compared to Disneyland the day before. Here is Daddy and Cameron touching starfish!

Cameron waiting to see the Shamu show. We got there a bit early and were watching them play. There were 2 babies and 3 larger ones. You should have seen the babies playing. Jumping all over the place and entertaining us! Isn't Cameron's new Lighting McQueen hat from Disneyland cute? He has barely taken it off even to sleep the past four days.

Daddy and Cameron watching the Shamu show. They both thought it was hysterical when Shamu splashed everyone in the first few rows.

Shamu.

Cameron loves sharks. He was very interested in this one.

The brand new dolphin show at Sea World. Pretty awesome. A bunch of dolphins, divers and crazy tricks!

When we were leaving Sea World, we saw these two people taking pictures of each other by their cars. We thought it was kind of funny, so we did the same. It was a beautiful view and sunset in the background, but there were a lot of cars too. Rian is obviously trying to be a serious model in this picture.

And last but not least...the view from our hotel in Oceanside. This was right across the street from us.

We had a glorious time in California. Now it is time for us to focus on getting ready for these twins.
