Swimming Pools, Movie Stars!

Now the hotel swimming pool is always a hit, but with our kids is almost a daily fight.  Everyday of fun at Disneyland, Cal Adventure, and Sea World was marked with the questions about weither we would have time to swim at night.  These kids are fish and love the pool almost as much as Disneyland!
They are awesome little swimmers!

Carson Celebrates 7th Birthday in California!!!


Although we had been celebrating Carson's birthday all week long, his actual birthday finally arrived on Thursday, May 13th!!!  Our little boy was 7!!!!  We started our day with a couple of gifts in our room and headed back to Disneyland!  It only the happiest place on earth, there could have been no better party or surprise to make his birthday more memorable!!!
Silly face!
The tea cups are always a favorite!
Don't spin too fast, mommy will puke!
Happy Birthday Carson!!!
I love your guts!!!!

Nice Hats!
Then we popped on over to California Adventure again.  Here's the Q-man ready for Toy Story Mania!
While Carson went on his favorite ride - California Screamin', again and again and again for his birthday.  Eden rode the carousel again and again!  I even took a turn on the rollicoaster...once. 
He shoots, he scores!

Adventures at Sea World!!!


Carson and Eden Arrive at Sea World
On Wednesday, we took a charter bus to San Diego and visited Sea World.  The bus ride was not as carefree and fun as I had thought it would be, but the kids met lots of other children on the way.  Eden's big thing was telling these kids that her name was "Bob" ??? Where she came up with this is beyond me, but she was hysterical.
We went to see the Sting Rays first.
Then we went to Shamu stadium to see the killer whales!

Eden loved it!!!
Those are our two blond boys in the lower right corner with their shirts off in the Splash Zone.
They actually didn't get as wet as they had hoped, but they sure wanted to see how cold the water was!
Buluga Whale
We were told that it was rare to catch the lazy polar bears awake.  Not only were they awake, but they were right next to the glass in their exhibit.  My pictures are funny due to the relections of our kids on the glass, but it was thrilling for them to see the bears!!!
Silly Polar Bears in their den...
Silly Carson in a Polar Bear den!
Dah, Dah, Dah,
"My, what big teeth you have!!!"

We love the flamingo's!
Sea Turtles
Star fish in the tide pools!


A Grouper and a Carson, both rare and unique!
We all got to feed a very friendly dolphin.  The kids were thrilled!
Flipper had a great smile for us after we had given him the snack!
Jon and the boys rode Journey to Atlantis!
While the boys were getting wet, Eden caught a much needed snooze with her new polar bear.
Q and C went twice more without their dad.  They were soaked and froze all the way back to Orange County, but had a ball!!!
A blast was had by all!!!
