Adam’s 8th Birthday

Adam turned 8 on the 10th. He had a great day! Started it off with the traditional number pancake. 

We had a family party for him At home. 

He got a bunch of Bluey toys and a Cars track. He loves soccer so we got him a soccer goal and a ball, but we can’t play with that outside yet because of the cold. He loved his birthday cake. I couldn’t find a Bluey cake, so I bought a toy play set and stick them on his cake. It worked pretty well! Adam had a great birthday weekend. We also went to the Killpack’s and had a cake there as well and sang to him. Happy Birthday to Adam! Eight is great!

Disneyland

On Sunday we went to California Adventure. We woke up for rope drop. Wanted to do Cars ride but it was broken down, then got in line for another ride and was told it was back up. Left the line, and then got in line for Cars. It broke down again. It finally came back up and we ended up waiting an hour or so before we got to ride. Glad we did though. The line just got longer as the day went on. We loved Guardians of the Galaxy. We rode that 3 times. Incredicoaster was fun too. I was made to go on the Pixar wheel. It was scary for me, but my family loved it. They swing us around twice. We went on a swinging car. Hope my family appreciated the one I took for the team. It was not fun for me. On the ride James admitted that it had made him nauseous. He had to look at the floor. 🙂 Glad I am not the only one. We ate well at the park. Had a Chinese dish for lunch that was the hottest thing James had ever eaten. My wonton nachos were delicious and Adam and Audrey like their pork ramen noodles. For dinner we had pacific wharf soup in a bread bowl. I had corn chowder and it was delicious. I also got try a lemon churro and it was yummy! Audrey bought herself a few churros. 🙂

Universal Studios

We arrived Friday night and the next morning we were in our way to Universal. We got there just as they opened but we were met with a few more people than when we went in October.  We still had a great time! We did the Harry Potter ride first which is an excellent  ride. Easily the favorite. We headed to the Simpsons which had a decent wait time but we wanted to get it done with so we rode it and had a great time. I loved the Studio Tour! They had the Jaws shark working again (wasn’t working in October). We did the Studio tour again at night and it was a bit different. So glad we did it twice in a day. Longest wait was The Mummy. We passed the time in line with Disney trivia which between me and Audrey we cleaned up! We had a big donut from Lard Lad’s which was delicious.  Grant bought himself a stuffed Bart and a t-shirt that said best vacation ever. Audrey got her a small Maggie stuffed animal. We had a great day! 

The minions ride was pretty cute! Adam loved it! We all did!

I had to laugh at Adam who was a little scared of sticking his hand through this hole. A small burst of air will spray out. The kids ahead of us loved it and then got Adam curious. He finally did it! He found his brave!

We ate really good! We had a delicious pizza for lunch and for dinner we had this big donut and a chocolate iced one underneath. They are huge! We still felt hungry so we stopped for something on our way back from the park. 

Last picture of the day. All tired, but happy!

Super cute! Audrey shared the top bunk with him. So fun!
