Sea World, Universal Studios, and Wicked

The last few days we went to Sea World, Universal Studios and then Saturday we went to see the musical Wicked. Sydney absolutly loved Sea World. She loves fish and she thought it was the coolest thing to see all the fish. She loved the star fish. She was fearless and would pick them up out of the water and play with them. At Universal Studios she moslty just stayed in the stroller because there was not much for her to do except for play with her cousin Brennon!She loves him so much and they are such good friends. On Satuday we left the kids back at that hotel and Ryan, me, Natalie, Brian and Alexa got to go and see Wicked. It was such a good show. If you ever get the chance you sould go and see it! Sunday we got up and headed for the airport. This time without any problems and made it home safe and sound! We had such a wonderful time in California!

Day Three: Disneyland and California Adventure

On Wednesday we went back to Disneyland and then to California Adventure. They have a little kid area so Sydney had fun playing there with her cousins.

Our next day we headed to Disneyland- The Happiest Place on Earth! We had a good time riding all the rides and doing all there is to do there. Sydney was only big enough to ride a couple of rides but she definatly had a good time doing the ones that she could. Ryan and I always enjoy Splash Mountain so of course we hit that one. Disneyland is decorated for Halloween and the Mickey out front is all made of pumpkins so it was fun to see it a little different!

Day One: Wild Animal Park and the beach

Once we finally arrived in California at about 11:30 pm on Sunday all we could think about was getting into bed. So the next morning we were refreshed and headed out to the Wild Animal Park. Sydney really like the animals. I think because they were not very close and we were riding a train.

This is Sydney with her glasses. They are her favorite thing and she loved to wear them. I was pretty suprised that she kept them on!

This picture is funny because at first Sydney wanted nothing at all to do with the sand or the water. She likes to always be clean so when the sand stuck to her she was not happy but once she saw her cousins playing she warmed up to the idea, we could not keep her out of the water. This was on a beautiful beach in La Jolla!

We finally made it :)

We have had quite the trip so far but we are finally here in sunny southern California! Our day started out on Sunday. Our flight was suppose to leave at 11:30. First class had boarded already and they came over the loud speaker and told us that our flight had been canceled. It was then a mad dash to reschedule our flights along with the rest of the people on our flight. We had quite the ordeal getting a new flight but we finally found something at 4:30. Looking at the clock we didn't have enough time to go home but it was such a long day in the airport espically with an 18 month old! We were only able to fly into San Diego but our rental car and hotel were in Newport Beach. Once we landed we had another hour and a half taxi ride up to Newport. We finally made it about 11:30 that evening! My what a day. Sydney has been such a angel though. I don;t know what we would have done if she wasn't so easy going! We got up this morning and decided to go to the wild animal park. After getting lost we finally arrived and had a good day with the animals. After that we went over to La Jolla to the beach. It was beautiful and we played in the water. Sydney was very skeptical at first but she warmed up to the idea and then we couldn't keep her away from the water! So after the never ending day trying to get here- we finally made it and were able to start a wonderful trip! So tomorrow we are off to Disneyland-so hopefully we will have no kinks! I will post some pictures as soon and we get them off our camera.
