October Break Vacation

We had been counting down the days for Logan’s October Break from school.  We had a fun California vacation all planned out.  This is only part of the pictures from the trip, the majority of them are on Tika’s camera (hundreds of pics that I need to get a disk of them all from here) but I wanted to blog what I had in the meantime.

Logan was so excited to get to our hotel on Coronado. 

This is one of the rare times that I let him jump on a bed, and he takes full advantage of it!

Logan LOVED having his friends Roch and Shyla there during this trip, just one hotel room down.  They loved racing back and forth between the rooms

We overlapped by one day with my sister and her family too, so we met them for dinner the first night after they had spend the day at Sea World.

The next morning we were up bright and early to spend the day at Disneyland.  This was Logan’s first trip and he LOVED it all!  We can’t wait to go back and do it all again.  All the kids were great, we ended up staying for around 12 hours!!  What a day! (And my camera battery died halfway through the day, so this is just a glimpse…much more to come from Tika’s camera!)

I was so proud of Logan for going on the Haunted House!  I think it helped having his friends along, I’m sure he wanted to show them how brave he was!

So, up until we were about 10 people behind the ride, Logan had been excited about Splash Mountain.  However, he quickly changed his mind when it was almost our turn.  I talked him into it because I told him I would hold him super tight and we could sit next to each other in the back.  He obviously still wasn’t very happy about the idea.

But…as you can see by the end of the ride, he LOVED it.  He bragged about how only mommy got wet and he didn’t.  When I asked him the next day, he said the water slide was his favorite ride of the day!


Logan waved at every character on the floats.  All the kids were mesmerized by the parade.  Again…I’m sure Tika has much better parade pics to come!

So, by the beach day I had given up on my camera and relied solely on Tika’s (she has a fancy one that takes awesome pics).  I took this one with my phone though   Logan still has issues with sand and how “itchy” it is, so he wasn’t rolling around playing, but we still had a great time!

Logan loved his Mickey pancakes from Clayton’s Coffee Shop, and we can’t go to Coronado without going to Moo Time Ice Cream!

We bought Logan some glasses resembling Nick’s and he has been so proud of them ever since.

More time spent jumping!

Another love we have is riding the ferry from Coronado over to Sea Port village.

Ha! How funny is this, the woman had a long braided tail that even had a feather in it!  Wow!

Not a bad view for our last night’s dinner!

We caught an awesome sunset on the ferry ride back to the Coronado side.

And a trip to Cali would not be complete without stopping to shop at the Viejas outlets! Such a great trip!  I <3 my family!

Remember…watch for part 2 (with better pics to come!)
