06.10.15 - California Vacation 2015

My Dearest Conor,

Hi Baby! Ohhh we had soo much fun in California. Original intent over a year ago was for lots of friends and family to join us, to celebrate my 40th birthday, but it ended up being a small group of you, me, Mandi and Content. Our little group has soo much fun!

You got to visit w/ Jessie and Buzz from Toy Story


You had a blast on the Merry-Go-Round at California Adventures


Content, Mandi, you and me on the tram headed to Day3 at Disneyland 


You and Content watching the light/firework show at California Adventures


You loved The World Of Color show at California Adventures 


You were sooo excited to see Woody from Toy Story.  


We got lucky. Went to see Mickey Mouse at his house in Toon Town, but he wasn't there.
We did catch him as we were leaving California Adventures though!


Waiting was not your strong suit. This was you waiting for the World of Color show. 


Memorial Day weekend..... Proved to be a lot of people. That plus was the first weekend of
the Diamond Celebration (60th Anniversary of Disneyland) 


Hi mom! This was our first day at Disneyland. You still didn't quite know where we were going. 


Content, Me, Mandi and of course you as we walked into the Disneyland Park. 


We even got to visit with our friend Shannon from Autism Live! Stopped by the studio to check it out
and she ended up doing an interview! Was awesome to have lunch w/ her and Kelby



Here is the interview Shannon did while we were visiting California. 




Another picture of us on Day 1, on the tram, heading to Disneyland. You were sooo curious....


Mandi took you on Splash Mountain at California Adventure. This was probably your least favorite ride, but you still seemed to have fun!


You waiting for World of Conor. You were soo tired.


You got to visit with Donald Duck too! 


Here you are with Jessie from Toy Story, before Buzz came out.


You and Mandi on one of the many ride we took you on. 


Yeah.... You tuckerd out for about an hour. Sooo glad we had gotten you that stroller.


HHMMM... You sure did sleep a lot! LOL This was you and Mandi.


You trying to sleep as you waiting for World of Color, but too much going on. 


Mandi here readying your favorite book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom"


We attempted to take you to the beach on our last day. Each day prior was drizzle filled and overcast, so we waiting as long as we could to get you some beach time in the hopes the weather would cooperate. We did take you to Long Beach (which I will never go back to - it was a crappy beach) but it was still over cast and a bit windy, making it a little cold. I am definitely going to make plans to take you back again before school starts though to get you some REAL beach time at a REAL beach! 


Oh this was fun! You really liked the Cars Ride at California Adventure. Can't say any of us liked getting stuck on the ride though. Luckily we probably only sat there for about 10 minutes. 


You saw Pluto too! 


Cousin love! Was so awesome for her to spend time w/ you. 


More pics of you and Woody. High Five! 


No fear.... That should be your nickname! This was you and Mandi on the ferris wheel at California Adventure. You definitely are not afraid of heights! 


Yeah..... THIS was a memorable dinner....... You threw up all over the table, the seat, yourself, and me! Was good times right there. Even better? We had used your spare set of clothes to change you when you got off the water ride w/ Mandi. I had to take you out of the restaurant and walk about a block to the cloests bathroom to clean you up, and then I had to go find and buy you new clothes. All while Mandi and Content finished (or tried to finish eating a rather expensive meal) as they watched the staff clean up your mess. Ehhhh it happens. I just appreciate Mandi and Content being such good troopers during that fiasco.  


Pluto signing your autograph book. 


You loved the fireworks too. I can't wait to take you to see fireworks on 4th of July!!!!


Content literally picked you up for both of the shows so you could see better.
She is like Superman, but a woman! :) LOL 


Yes Monkey. We had soo much much! I can't wait to take you back to the beach and back to Disneyland! 

I love you baby. 

All My Love, Forever.
Mom
