Disney and Seaworld


Our first afternoon at Disney! We had a blast, the girls were so excited to see everything.


California Adventure in the bug area! Kami was so brave with rides and even rode Splash Mountain...I thought for sure she would cry but Andrew said she LOVED it!

Sorry I don't know how to rotate my pics. Jami at the Shamu show hoping not to get wet...we were in the splash zone but got lucky... not one drop.


The kids enjoying the freezing cold water. We tried to keep them dry but that's a pretty impossible task with little ones and water.

Sorry, enjoy this cute pic sideways. Andrew and sis enjoying the turtles at Seaworld.


We got to stand in line for two hours for this cute picture. It made the girls happy so it was worth it to me. They only have 3 princesses at a time and Kami kept telling me Snow White was the one she really wanted to see. I was able to breathe a sigh of relief when she was one of the 3 when we finally made it to them.

So cute!

This was a highlight for the girls they were so excited to get their faces painted. I thought they looked really cute!

We had a really good time going to Cali with Andrews family. We spent a night in Vegas on the way down at our new favorite place to stay Tahiti Village. They have really nice rooms and fun swimming pools. We've yet to get down there when it was warm to swim but the kids braved it on the way back home. I wouldn't even get in my suit..too cold for me. We spent four nights by Disneyland and had 3 day hopper passes. I loved it! It was so nice to be able to go to the parks and not worry about having to see everything in one shot. I think its how we'll do it from now on. The girls loved the teapots and wanted to ride it over and over...thanks Grandma J and Danica for riding with them. We didn't do too many of the rides, with me being pregnant and Andrew didn't really care so we just let the kids decide what we did. We played in the playgrounds for most of the last day at Toon Town. The second day we went over to California Adventure. I've never been there and I would have loved to ride some of those rides. Next time. The kids loved all the rides in the bug area. We debated on getting Kami on Tower of Terror because she did so good on Splash Mountain but I didn't want to freak her out so we opted out. Almost everyone that went got super sick one day and so Andrew and I decided to just spend the day by the pool. It was probably one of our favorite days the whole week. It was so relaxing and the girls loved it. We literally were at the pool all day. Andrew and I decided to go out to dinner that night to Outback, we got our food and Kami said she was tired so she laid down on my lap and within minutes she was asleep, Genna wanted to do the same and she fell asleep as well. Andrew and I took advantage and took our time eating and enjoying our meals. They both slept thru dinner, the ride home, us carrying them to the room and the whole night. I couldn't believe it! After Disney we drove to San Diego for Seaworld. That was my favorite day. I love Seaworld. Mainly the Shamu show. We had perfect seats and the girls were in awe. Kami after the show said she wanted to be a whale trainer when she grows up...how cute is that. They loved seeing all the animals. They even threw fish to the sea lions, they didn't like the smell after but they had fun. It was another great day. We were going to spend two nights in San Diego but the hotel wasn't fabulous and we all decided we wanted to go back to Vegas and enjoy the pools at Tahiti Village. So when we were done with Sea World we loaded up and took off. Driving home always seems so long but all in all it was a great vacation. I had a really good time. It was nice to have one last get away before Andrew left for the summer. He left a day after we got home. So it was nice to be able to have some time with him. Thanks Jami for always getting the ball rolling on family vacations.
