Day 6 - Seal Beach and drive home

 This was our last day here. This is the boys waiting for me to make sure we got everything packed up and ready to go. Huge helpers.....

 Yes, I know. I need some help on my packing skills. Bu we did have everything we needed,at least I can say that. But we had a great stay at this hotel. It was really fun.

 We drove to IHOP before we headed to the beach.

 The boys loved walking on the pier hand in hand. We went all the way to the end and turned back to get our suits on.

 There was a lot of fisherman on this pier and as we walked past these 2 guys caught a sting ray. It was so fun for the boys to see it. They said this was the 3rd one that day they had caught. They cut the stinger off and threw it back in. I think that was the reason Linc had a tough time going in the water.

 I tried getting this shot about 6 times and then I gave up and came up with something else. The tide kept coming in.....imagine that.

 So I had the boys gather all the broken shells they could find and we made this. This took longer than I thought it would. The pieces were tiny.

 Spencer loved playing in the water. Linc on the other hand, didn't want anything to do with it. He liked staying up on shore with me. Spencer did have a scare....a wave took his feet from under him and was under for a while. Luckily, Jason was right next to him and Spencer brushed past his leg underwater. It scared all of us. I had no idea this all happened because Lincoln and I were playing in the sand. I heard all about it later on. I would have freaked if I had seen it.

 Jason finally got Lincoln to like the water.

 Spencer finding me shells.

 Enjoying the hot sand.

 Lincoln's unique way of laying out.

 Spencer wanted to be buried.

 These roses were floating up on the beach from somewhere. They were all over the shoreline. It was a cute addition to our artwork.

 It didn't take long for this little boy to fall asleep on the way home. Too much fun at Seal Beach.

As you can see, we were so spoiled by using Grandma Bowler's minivan. The boys had the best time with the dvd player and for that, so did Jason and I. This sealed the deal that I desperately want and need one of these vehicles. It was so nice!!! So thank you again, Mom, your van was such an awesome bonus to an amazing vacation. Let me just say, I cried all the way home from St. George when we had to give back the minivan and were back in our Acura. I'm not kidding........

Day 5 - Guess where

 So on this morning, our last day there, Spencer wanted to go on Indiana Jones first thing. So Linc and I waited for them to get out. So we decided to pull the camera out while we were waiting. Lincoln was in a silly mood so here are his expressions.

 Lincoln and I decided to go our own way while Jason and Spencer went on Splsh Mountain. So we went on the Winnie the Pooh ride and then waited to see all the Hundred Acre Woods characters. Lincoln was in heaven.

 Linc and Tigger

 Linc and Pooh

 He wouldn't stop hugging him. I had to pry him off. It was so cute.

 The last time at the Jedi Academy

 Autotopia, the boys loved driving

 Linc is a crazy driver

 Spencer walked up to this Storm Trooper and hugged him. I wonder how much he gets that. The picture below is of Lincoln and Spencer at the Star Tours ride. Lincoln loved it. I'm glad we fixed his shoes.

 We walked Downtown Disney and went to the Lego Store. All of these statues and the background are all legos. It was so impressive.

 Spencer loved all the legos.

 I wish we went earlier in the day, but can you make out the giant dragon on top of the building. It is insane.

 Inside the store.

 Spencer was tired of walking so he decided to give Lincoln a ride.

 On Main Street.

 While we were taking pictures on Main Street, Chip walked right up to the boys and played with them. It was so fun for them. He played for so long. A line formed behind us and he just kept interacting with them. It was a huge highlight.

 Donald and Daisy.

 Then right after Donald and Daisy, Dale came up to the boys and interacted with them. He kept trying to drink Lincoln's orange juice. They had the best time.

 One last picture in front of the castle. Jason insisted I get these ears to match the boys.

Our last day was so awesome. We were there when it was so dead and we walked on every ride. It was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. The boys were angels the whole time. Every day was so long for them and they didn't complain once. It really was heaven.
