Breakfast with Santa and CA Trip

After a few days of daddy being away. After talking we decided that I was going to surprise the boys and after we got done with Breakfast with Santa I was going to tell them that we where going to drive and see dad in CA. To top this all off on the way to CA we where going to drop Gma Bird off at the airport.
Got to the school early since it was Breakfast with Santa. No I didn't bring my kids cuz they don't like Santa and I didn't have anyone to watch them while I worked. It was a great turn out and fun to see everyone having fun. Before it was over and when it slowed down I headed out and left the rest for the other members of the PTO to finish up.
We stopped for lunch in Quartzite at Mc Donalds, everyone thought the kids are so cute.


They where so excited that we where going to be able to spend the weekend with daddy. Blaine was in class for part of the day Saturday. He said that he was going to go and see a movie since he was going to be waiting for us to get there. The funny thing was he forgot to take into consideration that there was a time difference. I told him to leave a key for us at the desk and he didn't do so he got to come out of his movie about an hour early.


Gracie was soooo excited to see her daddy. The boys where to but they where more excited to see daddys hotel room on the 6th floor and they had there "own" room. Blaine was at Embassy Suites so he did have a nice room. Gracie didn't really want to sleep in her pack n play and it was a little nicer cuz we had a King bed instead of the Queen that we have at home. Speaking of a King bed this little girl decided she wanted all of it.

 We found some pretty cheep tickets to Knotts Berry Farm so we decided to spend the day. Gracie got all cute for the day. We got to the park right before they opened so we walked around the stores for a little bit. I took a picture of this right after they open the park they do the National Anthem. It was sooooo cool to see how everyone stopped and stood still and some even sang along. Good for you Knotts Berry Farm



If anyone remembers from our Disneyland trip we have tramatized him for life. Gracie was happy to go on the ride. Cameron on the other hand wasn't so sure about it.


Cameron LOVES this ride. Its a ride with semi trucks I lost count of how many times we had to do this ride. I stayed in the little kids area while Ryan and dad hit the roller costar.
 Gracie wasn't sure about this but she went along for the ride.

 I think Cameron would have loved to live in Camp Snoopy. He loved all those rides this kid can do the circle rides. We did these a few times okay so a few hundred times.

 Finally Gracie passed out. We did have to leave Camp Snoopy for a while to do some big boy rides. This isn't that great of a picture but Ryan and Blaine are in the front. Ryan made him wait in all the lines for the front seat. So some of these rides took a while and yes Cameron Grace and I got pretty board.

 Back to Camp Snoopy. At first when Cam did these he couldn't figure out how to make them go up so I had Ryan go on the ride with him and they thought this was great.



This is what they waited in line for an hour for so they could have the front seat. The last time we where here Ryan was an 1" to small to ride this but he really wanted to. This time he was well past it. This is CRAZY no way would I ever ride this. Okay maybe when I was young and dumb but not now. You hit 4Gs before hitting the top and then its straight down. The whole ride is about a minuet and he loved every second of it. I wish my phone hadn't died so I could have take a picture when he got off he was so proud of himself.
 
Yep they are pretty crazy!!!!

 We had to head back to Camp Snoopy before we headed out. We had been at the park all day and it was getting dark the park was closing and the kids where starting to get really cold. But they wanted to hit there favorite rides one more time.

This was funny cuz they where in this race car and Ryan told Cameron that when we go around the corner raise your hands.
The last thing we did before we headed out was take the Train ride. By this time we where all tired and some where crying but it was nice to sit down cuz my back and feet where killing me.
 

 All in all we had a super fun day at Knotts Berry Farm even though we are all tired.
After we got back to the hotel these kids still wanted to go swimming. Seriously I was so tired but we had to drive home so we had to do it now or never.

 Gracie wasn't sure about it. The pool was indoor but it was super COLD. It didn't bother Ryan he was just super excited to go swimming inside.

 Cameron on the other hand wasn't so sure about it. So I sent Blaine back up to the room and stayed with the boys for a little bit so they could swim.

 After we got back to the room it didn't take long to get everyone to bed. Then in the morning after Blaine left and the boys ended up in our bed. When I got up to go to the bathroom and tired to go back to bed I found there was no more room. Stikin kids
Our Christmas card or at least it will be when I get it made. We drove home Monday so Ryan got to miss a day of school and then Saturday we went and picked dad up from the airport.
