Happy 4th Emma.

This is Quinn in anticipation of Emma's birthday cake coming out.  I couldn't resist the picture!

 We had cake and ice cream a little early at Sunday dinner with Papa and Grandma Barb. 
 
 
 She requested a snowman cake "just like aunt debs"
 
 
Disneyland!!!!  Daddy and Emma riding the Tea Cups.

Again....


 And again.....we rode them four times...
 
 
Daddy and Quinn on the Dumbo ride.  Emma and I were in front of them.

 Here is Emma and I in our Dumbo. 
 

Carousel ride. 


You can walk through a castle and meet princesses.  Not sure who this one was, but she was first.  Kind of a scary wig, but Emma thought she was pretty cool.

This is Ariel.  I'm not up on my princesses, but I think she may have something to do with the sea.

Meeting Cinderella, she was last and "the best".  She asked if Emma knew any princess songs and Emma sang her Itsy Bitsy Spider.  Very entertaining.  If I can get it to upload I will post it.

Quinn being very brave and talking to Cinderella.  Really the only one she voluntarily walked up to. 

We met my friend Erin and her daughter Marleigh.  Marleigh is dressed up as SnowWhite.

Who isn't excited to meet Mickey Mouse?  Quinn was great by this point.  She even kissed him on the nose.



We bumped into Goofy in Toontown. 


This is inside Goofys house.  Cant get her to sit still long enough to get a good picture, but here she is sitting in Goofys chair and saying Cheese before she runs off to another thing.


Hanging out at a playground while Daddy and Emma went on a big girl ride.  By this time it is really hot and Quinn is ready for a nap.


Only at Disneyland do you stumble upon a parade!!!
 

Emma waving to a Mermaid.

 This is when she spotted Simba the Lion King float.
 
 

After the parade.  Crashed out.  Her face paint didn't really stay on, but she has a flower on her cheek.

What Emma picked out for her birthday present.

And Quinn got a Goofy stuffed animal.  She hasn't put him down since we have been home.  He even walked around the block today with Buster.

Successful Birthday Bash!!


La Jolla Cove



 We went down to La Jolla Cove the other night hoping to be able to walk around some tide pools, but instead we chased some birds.  They were surprised you could walk right up to this one.
 
Quinn trying to see how Seagull tastes.


Pelicans barely above the water.


I read the sign to Emma and she said, "well then why are they here?"


"Cheese"

This is a beach where seals hang out.  It is roped off but we are pretty close to them.

Peaceful Popsicles

Sharing popsicles brings the world together peacefully.



Quietest they were all day and even sharing a chair!
 

 
Buster invading Emmas pillow pile.
 
 

Buster the ladybug.
 

Quinn working the watering cans at Grandma and Papas.
 


And digging on some corn (KC waiting patiently for some to drop)

We found a caterpillar at the beach.  Big fuzzy one. 

Climbed over Emmas foot, when it went up her leg she shook it off.

Our first time seeing jellyfish in the water.  We have seen them on shore, but not alive floating around.  Needless to say Buster was the only swimmer this day!
