Indoor Mini Golf

Pirate-Mania

LegoLand

On our last day we spent three quick hours at Cooper's favorite theme park.


We rode the Sky Cruisers first.





Cooper and Camden put out a fire. They're showing off their drivers licenses.

We drove boats.



Then visited Mini-Land.






One of the fave family rides was Lost Kingdom.




Camden rode the wave runners twice.



Camden and Dad rode the only roller coaster open.


Camden got up in the helicopter by herself too.


The kids did the Volvo Driving School twice.







Pretty good day. Legoland was a hit for the kids.

SeaWorld

NOT a busy day at SeaWorld. The thrill rides weren't running and there was only one performance of each show. We visited the penguins first.


Camden and Dad rode Wild Arctic..a lower case Star Tours kind of ride that lets you out to see arctic animals.








Then it was off to the shows: Sea Lions Live


Followed by shark encounter


and some sun





Then Pets Rule followed by Blue Horizons starring dolphins and divers.


The final show was One Ocean starring orcas.


We stayed at a hotel with a pool


We watched the sun set at nearby Mission Beach

California Adventure

After watching Soarin' Over California in seats that flew along with the helicopter...





we boarded the Grizzly River Run. Mom did not want to get wet.





But as it turned out...



Mom was the only one who really got soaked. Sweatshirts next door were $50 so she dried off naturally.


We headed to the Hollywood Pictures backlot for a drawing lesson, rode See Monsters, saw the Muppets in 3D and took a few pictures.

The animation building had a cool zoetrope exhibit.

One ride we DID not go on: California Screamin'.





Cooper Camden and Mom rode a much smaller rollercoaster called Goofy's Sky School. (Dad was too big) It was still too much for Coop.

Camden and Dad like Ferris Wheels. But Mickey's Fun Wheel had cars that rocked.



And rolled



And rocked again until we both felt nauseous


Not truth in advertising.

We left California Adventure and went back to Disneyland where we visited the Tiki Room.

We rode some favorite rides for a second ( or third time)

Cooper and Dad went on Star Tours.

And all of us went on the Peter Pan ride.

Somehow Camden and Dad got up the nerve to ride the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at night.




This ride takes your picture just before it drops you. Camden loved it. Dad appreciated the shot of adrenaline but didn't like plummeting.



Camden ranks her rides:

#1 Tower of Terror #2 Big Thunder #3 Indiana Jones #4 Pirates of the Caribbean.




We finished up our Disneyland trip by watching The World of Color.
