CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE!!!

Yesterday James and I had a day all to ourselves! After I dropped Brianna off at school I dropped Jake off with my Mom and James and I headed off to Disneyland. I haven't spent a day with him like that since Jake was born. It was nice to be just the two of us. I wanted to go to California Adventure because we haven't taken him there yet, and I saw that they have a life size McQueen and Mater. Well, we have been there but just to eat dinner. So right when we got to the park he wanted to find Pooh, so I went into Disneyland and thought we could go on the Pooh ride first and then we would leave. Of course the Pooh ride is the furthest ride away from the entrance and when we get there he doesn't want to go on the ride! And there was a long line already for the characters and the characters weren't even there yet! Agh! Well we got this cute picture!

So we headed out and went to CA. adventure. Here is James Conlee on the "C"

I am not familiar with the park so I figured we would just start on one side and make our way around. Our first stop was a great one. It was at Mickey's Playhouse. It is a show with all his favorite characters, Handy Manny, Pooh & friends, and Little Einsteins. Oh and of course Mickey & friends! It was so fun! Here he is watching the show.

He did not want to go on any rides but I made him go on the caterpillar ride in a bug's life. He was a little whiny but we got through ok, except when we went through the watermelon that mists you with water. He freaked out!
After that we went on this ship that you could play on and he wouldn't have anything to do with it. He did like the surf boards though!
Suffer in training! Making his Daddy proud!

After that we went to find Mater and McQueen. I was bummed that it was only a picture spot and you couldn't really touch them. I thought James would flip out when he saw them but he was a little freaked out. He seemed excited but nervous. He wouldn't stand by himself so here is a picture of the two of us.

After that we got some ice-cream and called it a day!

How fun! Isn't it funny how special spending time with just the older child is? I spent some one on one time with Jack after Grady was born and it was amazing! Guess I just took it for granted before that. He is so cute (and so is Jake)!!!!
