The Lego Store and the Rainforest Cafe

 Daddy took you to the Lego store while we waited for our reservation at the Rainforest Cafe.  He said it was incredible, and there were lots of things for you to play with.  Serious tongue came out!

Look at that wall of Legos!

 The Rainforest Cafe was super fun and you were really obsessed with a pair of elephants that were behind us that would trumpet now and then.  Cute!

After this we went to watch the fireworks.  Another perfect day!

Astroblasters

 This ride turned out to be the unlikely favourite of the trip.  Astroblasters had a consistently small line and was a big entertainer.  You could sit three (max) to a car but there are only two guns and it is our job to help take out the bad guys (Blurg, that means you).

At the end you get a score and that only adds to the fun!

 

 Daddy really got into it:

 You are going through a gun phase right now so that explains why your were drawn to this ride.

 Sharp shooters!

Autopia, Space Mountain and the Haunted House

 On Day Two we went to Disneyland proper to see what it had to offer.  We headed straight to Autopia because we thought that would be up your alley and it was.  Then we hit up Space Mountain (!!!) which you totally took in stride.

 Note Mommy screaming her guts out and you looking cool, calm and collected...

 Then we headed to the Haunted House where James Franco budded in front of us.

 PS you did NOT enjoy the Haunted House.

Disney Day 1

 You know that the day is starting off right when you can have a Mickey cookie for breakfast!  Totally broke the rules but we figured we were on vacation!

 The first place we headed was to Radiator Springs and Racers of course!  The line was over two hours long and you were a total trouper.  That was the longest that we waited for anything, thank goodness!

 You and Daddy won this Dumbo stuffie playing a watergun game on the Midway.  You loved it!

Right before this photo you said "Mommy, take a picture of me and Dumbo."!!!

 After a full day at the park we found this place in Downtown Disney after dinner.  It was like the Build-A-Bear concept but with cars.  Needless to say you were in heaven.  We chose your frame, wheels, and all sorts of options and then got to put it together like a real mechanic!  We made several trips to this store over our stay...

At the end of the evening we had gelato and as we were walking back to the shuttle you said "This was the best day of my life."  Sniff.

On our way to Disney...

 For your fourth birthday Daddy and I decided to take you to Disneyland to celebrate (since you have everything else).  We went the three of us while Grandma and Papa stayed behind with Charlie so we could really do it up!

I think it was a really long trip for you since you were basically vibrating with excitment about going.  You kept asking when we were going to be at Disneyand...

First there were two flights...

 Then a loooong bus ride, a hotel sleep and then another shuttle ride...

 Then we were FINALLY at Disneyland and raring to go!!!

Mount Washington!

 This winter Will learned to ski!  We couldn't believe how quickly you picked it up too!  By the end of the season we were doing "family runs" all together on the 6 person Hawk lift, yay!

It was Mommy's first time skiing in a while too but she got her mountain legs back after a refresher lesson.

Coopers ski!

 Now we just have to get little Charlie out!

Soon enough, can't wait :).

Sheri Jackson Shoot

Last month we did a little shoot for Charlie but we all tagged along for a few family shots.  These are but a few of our favourites.  Charlie you are growing up too fast!
