More Theme Park Fun!

Orange t-shirt vacation day found Glen in the kitchen first thing in the morning fixing a pancake and bacon breakfast for the group. He was great at fixing breakfasts while I got ready for the day and then I would arrive on the scene in time to clean up the mess--with others helping out of course.




The Excell family in front of the castle mural.
 Cute Natalie holding our very own darling Snow White.
Our first ride of the day--the tram. It never gets old.
Doesn't our big group stand out in a crowd when we are all dressed alike? It is such a great way to keep track of everyone.
Still standing in line with the masses waiting to get into California Adventure.
Looks like Glen, Natalie and Ben made it through the gate. It was Ben's last day with us. The rest of the family soon followed.



 Precious pose of Ben holding Carson.
We got to see Sulley in person. Jacob's family made it a point to go around and see all the characters and get autographs and their picture taken with the characters. For the rest of us, it was a novelty if we happened upon a character in the park.
Enjoying a moment with my baby boy in front of a fake road. It was only real for the first 20 feet and then it was fake the rest of the way.
Glen taking a taxi ride with the Goldens.
Here we are in Cars Land. Eli loved it when he saw a car near him.

Snack time and reading-the-map-to-figure-out-where-to-go-next time.

Eli was intrigued with a guy who was shooting out bubbles into the crowd.
While Jeff and Eli went off to ride a ride, Sarah, Ben and I went off to ride some rides while Carson was asleep. Glen did a great job with him when he woke up. It looks like it only took two boxes of teddy grahams for him to keep Carson as happy as could be.
I didn't take any more pictures the rest of the day. It was probably because we left to take Ben to the airport and we were so sad to see him go. He had missed several days of school and really needed to go back home so he could get caught up on what he missed. We appreciated he took the time he did to be with us. It was awesome!!

Is it just me...or are those shirts really ugly? :-)

Love the Claire/Natalie picture--Claire looks adorable.

Sad our Ben days are over already!

I love the picture of Carson gorging on his breakfast.

And at the park I thought our shirts were more red than orange, but they definitely look orange in all your pictures.
