Hanging out at the pool :)
It really wasn't all that warm while we were in San Diego-I think it got up in the mid 60's while we were there. But that couldn't stop us. The sun came out in full force and after a day of walking around Sea World we couldn't resist the pool. The kids had a blast and it was nice to relax a little bit.
The kids all slept in the same bed for the trip. The first couple nights were hard because they wanted to play together-but they finally got used to it and loved sleeping sideways on the bed.
So everybody told us that the kids would absolutely LOVE the Bugs' Life area at California adventure. I guess we shouldn't have started with the 3-D movie they have "It's Tough Being a Bug". This is a picture of the kids before the movie-do you see how happy they are?
Here is the picture after we had to leave the movie after about 6 minutes . I guess they were not ready for the 3-D effects. 
They did not like the bugs flying toward them or the spiders coming down from the ceiling or the getting splattered with "acid" as the bugs fought each other. Cole thought it was pretty funny until the spiders looked like they were going to land on his head and then he completely freaked out just like Luke and Ellee. I know Damon and I shouldn't have thought it was funny-our kids being tormented-but we laughed so hard we were crying. I still have a grin on my face thinking about their reactions. It was so funny-Damon and I really enjoyed the first 6 minutes of the movie.
Needless to say, the kids were a little hesitant to try anything after that. We went on some rides in the Bugs' Life area and they finally relaxed and started enjoying themselves.
Another big highlight at California Adventure was finding Lightning McQueen and Mater--the kids were so excited they wouldn't hold still for a picture.
I love this picture-look what a good big brother he is. Luke was in Damon's arms, still a little freaked out by the Bug's Life movie :-)
We were a little hesitant to try the Toy Story ride because it was also 3-D but we decided to brave it and see how the kids would like it. It was a long line but such a fun ride! The kids all loved it and wouldn't stop talking about Mr. Potato Head, Woody, Buzz, and Jesse. Fun, fun, fun!
OK-Cole, Damon, and I all agree that our favorite ride from the vacation was definitely Screamin. It's the big roller coaster. It was awesome! We also loved the one where you fly over all of California-even if it did test my fear of heights a little bit :-)

Ellee's hand-on-hip pose is stinking adorable!
The before and after pics from the Bug's Life movie are HILARIOUS! I'm a bad auntie I guess, because I laughed out loud. D'oh.
It also cracks me up that Cole loved the big, bad ,loop-de-loop roller coaster (gooooo Cole!!!) but was afraid of the movie hehehe. (We loved Screamin' and Soaring Over CA too! Our favs for sure. Man it's been a long time since we've been there!)
Looks like you guys had such a great time!
Your kids are so crazy cute. I am laughing at the thought of you and Damon laughing at your panicked kids in a bugs life. That is so funny! Soaring over California is incredible, I think by favorite part is when you are flying over the orange grove.
Wow, TJ is loving the Lightning McQueen picture... "Mommy, can I see Lightning Mcqueen again?" Then he pointed to Luke and said "I know that little guy!" LOL I love the pictures! It looks like you guys had so much fun!
