Bay of Play at Sea World

Sea World has opened a new Sesame Street area called "Bay of Play", so we went to check it out!


The flying Elmo ride was a big hit!

Pierce even had his own area to play which was such a treat for him!
There were lots of things to climb in, on, under, and over, so the kids got a good workout.Sea World is known for it's fabulous shows. The whole family delighted in the Sea Lion Show.

More Disney

Our plan of attack at Disney today was to head straight to Fantasyland to hit all the little kid rides.

We rode Dumbo first, and even Pierce got to enjoy the ride! After a few rides in Fantasyland, it started getting busy, so we went to the California Adventure theme park.

The girls took turns riding bumper cars with Daddy.
Daddy saved the twirling ride for Mommy - his stomach can't handle the spins.
We ended the day at the Playhouse Disney show, which was very entertaining!

Disneyland Again

We ventured again to Dineyland, and the first character we saw was Chip!
Our first ride was the Jungle Cruise - I think the girls really thought the animals were real - they looked so life-like!
Lucky for us, so many of the rides are baby friendly!
Our longest wait of the day was the Casey Jr. Train
I didn't realize that the train car we were in was "Wild Animals"! Pierce is "posing" again - mouth wide open!
Gepetto was the last character we saw before heading to the California Adventure theme park.

We only rode 1 ride at California Adventure because it was way past naptime for everyone!

The Monster Inc ride was great, we will see the rest of the park next time we go!

The Pacifier Fairy

The "Pacifier Fairy" finally came to our house...whew!! Rowan only used them at night to fall asleep, and we were dreading this day, but it all went better than we could have expected! She was very excited about the new goodies she got.

Disneyland

Since we have only been to Disney World, we noticed some differences at Disneyland...one of the most obvious being how tiny the castle was!
It took us a little longer than we expected to get our passes and get our photos taken, so one of our first stops was for lunch.
Pierce is now posing for the camera...how funny is his smile!
The teacups is a Disney classic. Doesn't Gavin look manly in a pink teacup?
We ventured into Mickey's house and explored around!


We ran around for a bit at the ToonTown playground.


The day ended on a sour note...our last ride was a bit bumpy. We asked before we got on if babies could ride on it, and they said yes. Once we were going, it was abundantly clear that babies SHOULD NOT ride this ride...it twisted and turned, and there were loud noises and lots of flashing lights. Luckily Pierce is a trooper and as his usual self, went with the flow.

We feel like we hardly got started at the Magic Kingdom, so we are looking forward to using our passes and exploring the other parks too!

A Boy on the Go

Pierce has a new pose - whenever he sees a camera, we opens his mouth wide open!!

He has mastered crawling - so my job has now gotten a lot harder because Pierce is on the go!
Going
