We woke up, got ready and had breakfast. We made the mistake of eating at the casino. We were planning on eating a buffet but they didn't have the buffet open so we just ate at the restraurant. They were really slow and as you know 5 hungry and anxious kids don't sit and wait patiently. We were sitting next to a table of truckers and I was just praying that the kids weren't listening too closely to their conversation. I doubt the kids heard anything because the decibel level at our table was too high to hear much of anything. The food ended up being really good, but incredibly expensive. I think it was our most expensive meal of the trip. The kids all ordered french toast. After breakfast we went back to our room gathered our belongings and checked out. As we were getting all the kids loaded in the car a lady approached Kyle and asked him if she could borrow a jack because she had a flat tire. Kyle, my knight in shining armor (and this lady's as well) changed her tire for her. She was incredibly sweet and ended up giving Kyle $20 for his trouble. Kyle wouldn't accept it so she brought it over to me and told me to take the kids out to lunch. While Kyle was changing the tire Katelynn was chasing the birds in the parking lot. It was very entertaining for me and the lady and the lady's mom and sister to watch. Katelynn kept trying to get the birds to come to her and that is what she is doing in the picture above. We were back on the road in no time flat due to my husbands amazing tire changing abilities!!! We drove to our condo in San Diego, checked in and got the kids dressed to go trick or treating at Disney California Adventures.
Parker is Captain Jack Sparrow, Carson is a skeleton pirate, Ashleigh is a oriental princess, Max is Jengo Fett, and Katelynn is a 5o's girl. I love the picture above because of the amazing posing that is going on in it. The kids were very much in character. We had a great time at the trick or treat party. Throughout the park they had trick or treat trails that would have trick or treat stations throughout the trail and at each station they would give the kids not just one piece of candy, but handfuls of candy. They also gave out small bags of baby carrots and sliced apples. The park was decorated with really cool Halloween decorations which I wish I had pictures of. All of the Pixar characters were out and almost everywhere you turned there were characters. They played live music and all of the rides were open. Carson, Ashleigh and I went on the Tower of Terror in the dark. It was so awesome. Ashleigh was very nervous because of the atmosphere of the ride and so I don't think she enjoyed it at all, but she ended up being the roller coaster fanatic on the trip. Space Mountain and California Screamin' were two of her favorite rides. We also went on the Monsters Inc ride. Katelynn's favorite movie is Monster's Inc and although she was a little nervous of the larger than life robotics and loud music I think she really enoyed seeing her favorite characters come to life. It was definately a memorable night and we had a great time.
As you can tell the condo we stayed in was right on the beach. It was cool because we slept with our windows open at night and you could hear the ocean in the background. We could look out the family room and master bedroom windows and see the ocean.
I didn't get any picures at the trick or treat party or of Max and Katelynn in their costumes....because we had camera issues which we solved by buying a new camera the next day!!! YIPEEEEE!!! I had been dying to get a new camera for over a year, and so I knew exactly what camera I wanted and everything. My CF card died about six months ago and I lost a ton of pictures so I was just using the CF card that came with the camera which would only hold about 18 picures. Before we left for our trip we had bought a new CF card. The night of the trick or treat party I put the new CF card in but it wouldn't work because our old camera is 5 years old and couldn't read the CF card. I guess the CF card had too much memory for our old outdated camera to read. Anyway although I was sad not to get any pictures of that night I was very excited to finally get the camera of my dreams!!!
