Disneyland and Legoland 2009

Socal Trip
This year my In-Laws wanted to do a Christmas trip, as their gift to us. So we went to Socal. Medieval Theatre, Disneyland, Legoland. This was the first time that all 9 of us have been on a trip together. And i will have to say it was a lot of fun. Not just getting to go to all these fun places, but to actually get to hang out and be together. Because when we go home to visit we always have to much going on, and we don't get to see them much.
Dave and Buster @ the Orange Block: The 1st night we were in town. Jaime and I took Christopher to Dave and Busters. We knew that he would love it there. Because of all the games and lights. It was hard to eat dinner and following him around but we manged after a couple drinks at the bar.


Disneyland Resort on the 2nd day. I'm so glad that Christopher enjoyed every minute of it. We arrived in the morning, and decided to do a couple rides as a family. Then afterwards spilt up. We figured since the kids were all different ages it would be a lot easier on everyone. Our main goal was to do what ever Chris wanted and we did not want him crying all day. But never the less he busted his chin open and should have gotten stitches but did not. You can thank me for that. I was trying to take a lot of pictures of him laughing and everything was wet because it has rained a lot the day before. But Christopher enjoyed the rest of the day and was in a great mood. He rode his first roller coaster "Thunder Mountain" lets just say he enjoyed it more than his grandmother did. I'm happy to report he even enjoyed meeting the characters for the first time and was not scared at all. It was nice staying close to the park so that we could go back and rest up for the night time parade and the fireworks. I was also happy that we went during Christmas. The lines were not long, and i think it is a great time to see all the lights. I just remember the summers were hot and there were to many people. Christopher would be to young to wait in the lines. I could not post all the pictures, but here are a couple to remember the awesome day we had.


The 3rd was spend at LegoLand California in Carlsbad, Ca. It was about 1hr drive from our hotel. Again i was not sure how Christopher would do, but he loves Lego's and rides so i figured he was have a lot of fun. I know everyone who are huge Disney fans are not happy when i say Christopher enjoyed today far more than the day before. I think it was because it was smaller and he could ride every ride at the park, but 1. There is something for everyone at Legoland. From ride, to shows, interactive building, xbox360, shopping, play areas, and etc. We said that we would do the same thing as the day before. Go on a couple rides as a family, and then spilt up. But we found that everyone could do everything, so we pretty much stayed together the whole day. At the end of the day, everyone spilt and the old kids wanted to ride some of the rides again. I took Christopher to the building area, while Jaime and Joe played Xbox360 across the way. We all watched Bob the builder in 4D, and then they light the Lego Christmas Tree and then it Snowed. Everyone had a wonderful time. Again there were so many pictures, but here are a couple
