Goodbye Disneyland, Hello Long Beach!


The next morning, we headed back to California Adventure. Jacob and Gavin shared their frozen lemonades while Daddy went on the roller coaster.


Gavin was exactly 42", so I was able to take him on the Grizzly River Ride. It was perfect for a really hot afternoon, keeping us drenched and cool for a long time.

We watched the 3-D Bug Life movie, but Jacob refused to put on the glasses because he didn't want the bugs coming out at him. ;) Then we took turns with Jacob and Gavin on the bumper cars and Splash Mountain.


Daddy really wanted to stop and get another fresh tortilla, which Casey was a big fan of also.
We saw Pluto on our way out, but Gavin wasn't so sure about him.
He decided to give him a hug goodbye though.
When we told Jacob he had to say goodbye to Disneyland, he was super distraught. I was sad too so we hugged really tight and I told him we would come back when he was 7. To which, of course, he pleaded his case for 6.

After letting the boys go on the pirate waterslides one last time, we were off to Long Beach. It was beautiful there and fun to see the place Adam had described in person. We had a nice dinner and walked along the pier with caramel apples and chocolate.

We arrived at the airport the next day just in time to discover that all of the flights were full. ;) Fortunately, God was looking out for us because not only did we make it on a flight, but we all got to sit together as well. Phew! I thought it was so funny that Gavin picked up the airline magazine and was looking through the pages with such sophistication. We might have another pilot on our hands!
