{February 18th 2018}
Beckett is OBSESSED with all things Cars and Lightening McQueen. It is the only movie or show he wants to watch and he has slowly collected every car in the movie for his birthdays, Christmas, etc. It was no surprise when I showed him a video of Cars Land at California Adventure he about lost his mind. I thought rather than do a birthday party for him this year we would take a trip instead. We talked about it for months leading up to his actual birthday and Cars Land did not disappoint!
We drove down Friday night and stayed in hotel then and met friends at Newport Beach on Saturday. Saturday night we went to the Mikey Mouse characters dinner, which was a huge hit. Sunday we went to California Adventure all day/ night. On Monday we spent a few hours at the hotel "waterpark" then headed home. It was such a magical weekend at the Happiest Place on Earth!
I can't handle the sass with these two. on our way to brunch with friends in Newport
funniest / weirdest story about this picture: so I see this cute photo opportunity and have Brooklyn pose for the picture. what I dont realize there are two homeless men on the other side starting to smoke weed. Lydia and Beckett are walking around the structure like right where the guys are and cops pull up and start screaming at the guys that they can't smoke in public and how awful that they are smoking in front of children. it was quite the scene and I was still taking pictures. rob ran to grab me and we ran off. im oblivious apparently
walking to the beach from our friend's house. they live one block from the ocean!
We hit the waterpark at the hotel quick after the beach and before dinner. the kids had a blast! it was the perfect size for younger kids
Mickey's kitchen was a hit! Extremely overpriced and terrible food but the kids were in heaven getting to hug all the characters. They sang to Beckett and brought him a special cupcake and pin. It was a really special night for him.
Back to the hotel and the kids immediately passed out. We had two double beds and bunkbeds. They might have been most excited about the bunkbeds. It was a hit.
Sunday morning we woke up bright and early, sang to Beckett again - his actual birthday 2/18!- then headed straight to the park
Lydia is always posing, its the cutest thing!
Lightening McQueen said Happy Birthday Beckett. I think he almost died.
end of the night everyone other than me(?!) was still going strong. 36 weeks pregnant I was having a hard time walking around the park for so many hours. I actually was the reason we left and didnt stay for the parade. first time ever rob wanted to stay the whole day!
the bump went on all the rides!
Last day we went back to the waterpark for a few hours before hitting the road home. It was quite eventful. We of course stopped for Cafe Rio and both Brooklyn and Beckett threw up en route causing us to stop twice.
