Vacation; Day 1!!!

Rooaad Trip!

We all piled into the motorhome

for the long drive down to DISNEYLAND!







YAY! Finally here with Mickey!






The weather was warm and beautiful for November!

We were so thankful for t-shirts

looking at the ducks



Watching the Elephants on the Jungle Cruise














Cayden was fascinated with the huge ornaments!

'Kisses'










Getting ready for Indiana Jones!


Here we go!





Cayden and Mommy on 'a bugs life'

The spinning ladybugs that spin way too much!

Cayden had fun though

Paradise Pier

Beautiful new watershow in California Adventure





Day 1; Complete!

Cayden did so great! He was occupied by all the lights, decorations and people, and he had fun on the rides too!

Vacation; Day 2

Day 2 and Off to Knott's Berry Farm

Fun with Chickens in the parking lot

First Up for Cayden - The Log Ride!



Here we go!

Cayden reclined in my lap and looked around for the ride

He didn't even mind the big drop at the end


Cayden meeting Snoopy.

He kept trying to give him kisses.

I guess he thought it was just a big stuffed animal


So much fun on the Cars with Daddy!

He smiled and giggled the whole time!


Next Up- Monster Trucks



Enjoying the Wild Wild West Show








Vacation; Day 3

Day 3 of our Vacation was back at Disneyland!



Headed to the park





Lots of fun on the Carousel with Nana;

they even rode it twice!



All bundled up for the night;

the park is open till midnight!



Having fun with Daddy's light-sword

All the Boys with Mickey



Cayden exploring the Christmas Tree

He just couldn't quite get close enough to the presents :)





I was so excited for Cayden to go on 'It's a Small World'!

I thought he would love the lights and music.

But he started getting sleepy...

And the line was just a little too long for him. This is how he looked while we waited.

"I swear mom; I'm not even a little tired"

Cayden fell asleep before we made it on the ride



And he slept through the whole thing

I guess we will just tell him about it



Ok, so we wanted to see the fireworks, but we were on rides and didn't get there early enough for a spot. The employees were everywhere waving their light-sticks and saying 'keep moving' 'no stopping'. So we just kept wandering while we watched the fireworks.

Roped areas forced us to walk right in front of the castle and just as we did the finale happened!! It was so funny! Hundreds of people waited a long time to be packed into roped off areas; and there we were being directed to walk right in front of all of them!
We literally were this close to the castle and the fireworks!

And the 'snow' followed




We had an amazing time on vacation. It was great to get away with the family and make lots of fun memories with Cayden!
