Wow, there's a lot to say. I will try to sum it up!
My family and I drove to CA for vacation last Friday. We got back on Sunday night. We went to Disneyland and Sea World and stayed in a super nice condo. Overall it was the most awesome perfect vacation anyone could ask for! (except Josh wasn't there) Mckayla loved every minute of it and only had about 3 mini fits involving desire to see mickey, goofy and a choo-choo train. She did have a semi-hard time in the car on the way home but did remarkably well I think.
We bought a 3 day pass for Disneyland and just paid a one day admission to Sea World. My sister Mandy and her husband Chris and their 4 year old daughter Madilyn came as well. Mckayla and Maddie had a lot of fun playing together and were largely well behaved and did well waiting in lines. (most of which were fairly short considering the season) We got two little backpacks with the harnesses so the kids wouldn’t run off and they worked like a charm! We were at the parks most days, but were grateful for a rest day in between here and there. Our feet got pretty darn sore!
Mckayla seemed most enamored by: It's a small world, peter pan, the tea cups, the carousel, World of color and Fantasmic nighttime water shows, and the Aladdin mini Broadway play. At the play everyone was turning around to watch Mckayla because she was singing along with the music and clapping and dancing and being SO funny! She tolerated and seemed very interested by pirates of the Caribbean, and the haunted mansion. She never got scared or cried on any rides, but if she didn't like it she would hold on to me and say "all done". She only whimpered a little when she heard the loud booming noise from the fireworks. I asked her if she liked the fireworks and she said, “no, it’s too much”.
My parents were way nice to sit out a bunch of times with the kids so everyone else could go on the bigger rides like Tower of Terror, space mountain, soaring over California, the water rapid ride, and thunder mountain railroad. Tower of Terror was definitely the highlight ride. We went on it four times! Anyway, we had a great time! Thanks mom and dad for the wonderful time! Love you :)
