Disney Christmas 2011-Day3

Day 3


We started the morning off with Keira driving us on the Indiana Jones ride! I was shocked that she wanted to ride this again! She had rode it once before and told me she never wanted to ride that again! And now she wanted to drive it?! LOL!

Go Keira!

Good Morning Disneyland! The little mouse snoozing away on his second day at Disneyland!

Carson and his blue sling! Carson looks so much like his Aunt Lisa and Mark in this picture! Love his little smirk!

Russell from Up and Keira! Mark took Keira over to the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail! Keira earned another Explorer badge and attended the Senior Wilderness Explorer Ceremony. Keira loves this area in California Adventure Park!

Cayden and Carson hit the rapids of Grizzly River Run a few times! The rest of us just watched and took pictures as they got wet! Good thing the sun was out to dry them off!

Carson didn't let his hurt arm get in the way of riding California Screamin' a few times! Yes, he is riding this by himself! This ride had about a 20 minute wait so Cayden, Carson and I got in the single rider line and practically walked right on! I lost track of how many times the boys rode this thrill ride!

Woody and Carson!

Churro Time! Nom, nom, nom!

Hey, It's Phineas and Ferb!

Taking some pictures in front of Mickey's Fun Wheel!

My 3 boys!

Cayden is such a good big brother! He took Kobe to meet Duffy!

Keira doing the Disney happy dance!

Look who's eating again! This time a chimichanga! I'm not quite sure where his skinny body stores all the food he eats sometimes!

Me and my new Disney friends riding California Screamin'! LOL! I bet they had a few good laughs about the crazy lady riding with them!

Cayden took Keira on the Ladybug ride!

Kobe looking good in his 3D glasses!

Cayden loves all the Muppet Movies and loves to go and see Muppet Vision 3D at California Adventure Park every time we visit! I love this picture of these two!

Carson, Cayden and I rode Tower of Terror a few times! Check us out in the back right of the elevator! LOL!

We love the adrenaline rush of this ride!

One last Turkey leg before heading home! I bet Cayden wished he hadn't ate it! LOL!

Good Bye, Disneyland! I loved my first visit! See you again real soon! I'm sure that is what Kobe was thinking! Disney is in his blood!

Disney Christmas Vacation 2011-Day 2

Day 2

We started off the morning in the Emergency Room at UC Irvine Medical Center! Carson had fell or been pushed off a huge cement tree pot in the tram area the night before at Disneyland. Carson isn't one to complain and when he still complained in the morning that his arm hurt we decided to take him to the emergency room(thank goodness for good insurance)! The kids and I waited sometime in the emergency room while Mark was with Carson, but we then made our way over to the awesome outlets right across the street. After a few hour wait, the doctor said Carson had a bad sprain and was given a sling to wear! Thank goodness no broken bones.

Mark once again found an awesome place off of Yelp for us to go and eat a late lunch/early dinner! We ate at BRUXIE Gourmet Waffle Sandwiches http://bruxie.com/ in cute Old Towne Orange! This food stand serves everything from breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert on a waffle (not your ordinary waffle) and it is delicious! I had a hard time not wanting to order everything on the menu! Next time you are in the Disneyland area, give this place a try. You will LOVE it!

Carson ate with one hand a huge Bruxie Burger! Who would of ever thought that a hamburger on a waffle would be so good?! Carson chowed that waffle burger right down! We had a good laugh at watching him eat this with only one hand!

Mark ordered the famous Hot Pastrami Bruxie and LOVED it!

I had the Roasted Mushroom & Goat Cheese with Sun-Dried Tomatoes Bruxie! It was to die for and so fresh! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Cayden ordered the Bacon, Egg & Cheddar Bruxie! I am going to attempt to make this yummy Bruxie at home for breakfast one of these days!

Little Miss Keira ordered a dessert waffle! She has a real sweet tooth like her mom! Check the S'Mores Bruxie out! Of course, I had a few bites and it was fabulous!

Little Miss Sweet tooth getting her chocolate fix on!
One arm Carson finishing up Keira's yummy S'mores Bruxie! Yes, it was that good!

We ended our day with a trip to Newport Beach! One of my favorite places to be is at the beach! I wish we lived much closer to one!

Kobe's first visit to the beach! We rolled him right out there in his stroller! Kobe's darling "BYU" hat was made by Mark's Aunt Kairle (Grandma Sharon's sister)!

Keira, Cayden and Carson having fun at Newport Beach! My kids love the sand and water!

The sun started to set in the distance and it was beautiful!

Carson's arm started feeling much better! LOL! He took his shoes off to run up and down the beach!

Keira digging away in the sand! I wish I would of brought our sand buckets and shovels, but who would of thought we would be playing at the beach like this in December?! LOL!

Nothing like the feeling of sand on your feet!

Mark and Kobe taking a stroll on the beach!

Another beautiful Newport beach sunset picture!

Keira making a sand angel (see video at the end of this post)! It's December, shouldn't she be making a snow angel?!

Keira adding a face and hair to her sand angel!

Carson managed to dig with mostly his one arm!

I guess I should of just put him in his swim shorts!

These two had so much fun splashing water at each other! I was freezing just watching them! Cayden wanted no part of this.

Crazy kid!

I LOVE this picture of Keira walking on the beach at sunset!

The sounds of the ocean put Kobe right to sleep!
