Dale and I found a new love. We love the beautiful state of California! We loved everything about it (minus the crazy driving...but we would gladly take it just to visit again soon!) We spent the last week soaking up the sun (on most days), meeting Disney characters, and just plain having the time of our lives. No cares in the world, just the beautiful California landscape and the salty breeze in our hair. It couldn't have been a better vacation! We spent the week at Grandma Gigi's (our Brother in law's grandmother) and were spoiled with home cooked meals and a beautiful home to stay in. Trey loved playing with his cousins (and hitting his little cousin Spencer...poor kid took a lot of bullying from Trey this weekend). We are so glad Dale's family invited us along on this trip!
The Alien Jerky place in Bakers CA.
Disneyland
Doesn't he look super excited to be on this ride? He didn't smile on any ride except for the teacups. Most of them scared him.
Lunch at Ariel's Grotto in California Adventure. It was not fantastic. We missed our breakfast time, so we had to do lunch instead...and I'm not gonna lie...definitely not worth the money. I think it would've been more fun for us if Trey cared at all about princesses. But, he doesn't. In fact, the only think that kept us sane during this whole ordeal were the stickers they gave him.
Belle was very sweet talking to Trey :).
Then he attacked her.
So these next few pics are super bright...my sis in law gave me a mini lesson on how to use my camera without just using auto. So, I ventured out into the scary world of using manual for most of my pics. I learned a very important lesson. Don't wear your sunglasses while taking pics...they make them all look dark :). I couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I just kept making them brighter :). So, don't mind the pics where Trey's hair blends in with the sand/sidewalk...lesson learned :).
In a lot of the pics we're pointing because it's the only way we could get Trey to look at the camera :)
My niece Faith buried my legs :)
All week there was a long line to see Mickey Mouse, and we weren't about to wait in it seeing how Trey doesn't even know who he is. But on Thursday we hung out in Toon Town for awhile and I thought it'd just be fun to check out his house. There was hardly anyone there, so I figured he wasn't around anymore. When we got to the back, there was a security guard waiting, and I asked him how to get out. He said to wait just a few minutes, but didn't say anything more. Then it dawned on me that Mickey was still here and we were first in line :). We didn't get a great pic (Trey kept trying to touch him and the lighting was horrible), but it was fun to see him!
Trey has discovered dumdum suckers. He thinks they are fabulous. I loved all of the pics of him eating his sucker, so here they are :).
