Disneyland Part 1

***Disclaimer***

These next few post will have many pictures and lots of journaling, which may be only interesting to the Lowry family!!

After two days in the car, the kids were more than excited to be going to Disneyland. The 3 big kids kept themselves busy while we drove and drove. Even though Carson was a bit bothered that Cooper got to fly with Grandpa and Grandma, they were all really good.

Our first day we started at California Adventure Park. The Soarin’ over California ride was our first ride and one of our absolute favorites. I think we went four times.

Paige loved Grizzly Bear Rapids. She would have gone all day if we let her.

Cooper the Trooper!! This boy was so patient to sit for so long in his stroller.

This is as close as my kids would get to Mickey. Carson really wanted to see the characters (especially Mickey Mouse) but only wanted to see them from afar.

It was really fun to get to see some of Carson’s favorite things.

Pictures with the CALIFORNIA letters at the California adventure park gate. Carson was the only one lucky enough to have the first letter of his name to take a picture with.

I am so glad we got a picture of that little pink pig with Carson. He and his dad won a big Dumbo and that little pig playing an arcade game. I thought for sure he would pick the elephant and give the Dumbo to a sister, but he chose the pig and promptly named it “Oinky.” Which is perfect since his duck at home is named “Quacky.”

That pig went everywhere with us our entire time at Disneyland. He would not leave it at the motel on our next day, and still sleeps with it now. It was a problem however, to only have one Dumbo when the girls returned from riding a ride with Grandma. To fix this little problem, we used our family to fill up all the seats of the Dumbo game, with the understanding that whoever won the prize, it was going to Paige.

Love all the pics! Keep em comin!! Caden just glanced at the screen and said "NO FAIR" I want to go there too! Soarin was my favorite when we were in Disney World - granted that was the most "extreme" ride I could go on being pregnant. I loved it! Looks like you had a great time and I have to say I love "Oinky"!! Too cute!

Zach is feeling a bit like Caden. He was just looking at the photos and whining...I want tickets to that place too!

I can't wait to meet Oinky. Are he and Quacky friends?
