California

We had a really fun vacation in Cali. It didn't start out the best though I was in a bad mood when we were loading the RV, and then once we got on the road there were some complications with the RV that were really frustrating. But once we got things sorted out it started to get fun. I realized its not good trying to do things in a moving vehicle, you end up doing back flips and getting thrown onto the driver, alot of good laughs! :)
First we went to Sea World, we saw the Sea Lion Show and Shawna got to be an assistant during the pre show, she thought that was pretty cool. The Show was really funny and Mariah still talks about it. We saw Shamu and got soaked. The show was amazing! Then we walked around to see the sharks, dolphins and other animals there. And went on the Atlantis ride, it was so much fun.
The next day we hung out and went to the beach. It was so nice just to walk along the beach and watch the sunset. The girls like trying to jump over the waves, look for sea shells and build sand castles. We also made some spongebobs and buried them in the sand for the girls to find, they thought that was awsome and wanted to try and find Sandy, Mr. Krabbs and all the other characters.
Then Thursday we went to Universal Studios. The rides were fun, but I don't think we'll go back until Mariahs at least 10. She couldn't go on any of the rides, and there werent to many rides there anyway. The coolest part of being there was there were some performers dancing and they picked Mariah to dance with them! Mariah was sooo cute and was doing the dance and shaking her booty. I was so mad at myself cuz i didn't have my camcorder on me but I got some pics of it.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we went to Disneyland. It was so much fun! Mariah got to meet Tinkerbell, All the Princess, Mickey, Minnie and alot of other Characters! She was in Disney Heaven. We did breakfast with the Princesses and thats where we saw Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, and Aurora. Then later we went to see Jasmine at her palace. The rides were awsome! Mariah still talks about all of it! Her favorite rides were Dumbo the Lady bug ride at California adventure, and all the boat rides like its a small world and Pirates.
Its so much fun to do things like this with your kids because you can see things through there eyes. The joy that they have and the smile on their faces, you catch yourself looking at them more then the rides. I have all the pics on my facebook page cuz I haven't figured out how to post more than one pic at a time on here. Any way, our trip was amazing. I'm glad we can do things like this with Mariah to give her some good memories and fun times.
