California Vacation

Last week we took a trip with Grandma and Paca Tracy to southern California. We stayed a couple of days in San Diego then went up to Anaheim for 5 days. We ran ourselves ragged at all the parks but had a good time.

The first day down there we went to Sea World. Kaleb loved seeing all the marine animals, especially the whales and dolphins because we had seen them in the wild just a month ago in Canada. There is a little part of the park that is Sesame Street themed and the Elmo fish ride was Kaleb's favorite.

The penguins were also a hit.


Then back to ride the Elmo dog-fish, one of us is really excited... I'll let you decide who.


The next day we went to San Diego Zoo where the elephants were the 2nd favorite animal Kaleb found.


His favorite was the cougar. This is a picture of us in front of it's cage as Kaleb is finishing his rendition of the cougar fight song he sang to the cougar that he learned at the football games. gooooooooooo cougars!


That night we traveled to Anaheim where we went to Disneyland the next day.



Paca and Grandma were good sports to deal with all the mid-day heat and humidity induced temper tantrums.


Even though it didn't budge, he still thought he was pretty tough stuff.

Patiently waiting (Forest Gump style) for Goofy to draw a self portrait.


Thanks for the picture Goofy, you ROCK!

Disneyland is HOT!

California Adventure has a better parade than Disneyland.



SSSSUPER!!! nuff said.


Grandma and Paca had to go home a couple days earlier than we did so we went to the beach before dropping them off at the airport.

Can you hear the Baywatch music?


Hasselhoff has nothing on me!


The last 2 days we went back to Disneyland/California Adventure and hit the beach one more time. It was a fun trip but it was exhausting for sure.

Nice trip guys! After a vacation like that you need another vacation to recuperate! Did the house get finished? Kelly and I were wondering whose house was going to get done 1st: Yours or ours.

How fun! I'm jealous, I would love to go to Disneyland with Lincoln. One of these days. Of course, Disneyworld is loser to us. I love the picture of Kaleb running on the beach.
