California Trip - Day 11 - our last day

On our last day we made a mad dash for DISNEYLAND before our flight at 5:30. Boy do we miss that place and Austin had so much fun. We found Nemo!
It's a small world


Dumbo

Train ride

All tuckered out and ready to fly home to his cozy bed

We love California, especially the weather, family and friends. We will miss you, until next time!

California Trip - Day 10

On our last full day we took Austin to central park, Paul loved playing here as a small child.


Austin had a lot of fun making holes and playing in the sand



Then we were off to Two Brothers for some of their famous pizza

Andrew stayed behind to be cuddled by his grandparents and take a nap

Later on that night we went out to dinner and boomers with my parents

my happy boy

Todd also met us there so he could meet Andrew and see how much Austin had grown since the last time they saw each other

Austin had so much fun on the rides and loved that there was never a line and he could go on the train as much as he wanted to.
