The End (I promise)

I promise this is the end of the pictures from our trip to California.

Just a few random pictures.

All three kids in the hotel

Parker wanted to check out the other floors at the hotel, so we took a tour of several different floors, which of course, all looked identical. 

Looking around

Also, we used an elevator to go up and down and when we would say something like: "Let's go downstairs for breakfast" or "let's go upstairs to our room"... Parker would correct us: "Not upstairs, up-elevator"

Parker loved, loved looking at the maps of Disneyland- finding where we were and looking at them again when we got back to the hotel. We brought a couple home and he pulls them out often and talks about the rides and things we saw.

A few other random stories:

We stopped in the middle of the 'street' and Parker noticed that his stroller was in the middle of the 'train tracks' and he quickly got up and moved it so he wouldn't get run over by a train.

One morning we woke up to Parker singing (to the tune of Mickey Mouse Club)

"C-A-R-C-A-R, Mickey Mouse!" Over and over. How cute! He didn't know how to spell mickey, but he did know how to spell car

Also, before we went I explained that Disneyland was in California. And later Parker was excited to see Donovan and Hunter (who live in Florida). When I asked him about it, he explained that we were going to 'Califlorida" where Donovan and Hunter live.

When we got ready for the beach Aria kept saying "pool, pool" and when we got to the beach she growled all loud and dramatically (while pointing at the water) "POOOOL!" To her it was a big, exciting pool.

And last, Parker wanted to make a list of food for us to buy and bring to California: Here's a cute video of him writing his shopping list: Shopping List Video
