California Trip: Day Three

We had a 2 day pass to Disney so we planned to spend our second day in Anaheim at the California Adventure Park.  The day started with a fun character breakfast at the Disneyland Hotel.  Connor was thrilled to find an Autoptia car in the lobby.

Goofy's Kitchen had an amazing brunch that we all really enjoyed.  Especially the Mickey Mouse pancakes and waffles. :)

While we ate all the different characters came around to visit.

 I was surprised how much Carson enjoyed seeing them.  His face lit up every time they would come over.

 He made lots of friends.

Connor on the other hand was more reserved with them.  He would wave and say hi, but did not get too close.  The tables turned though as soon as the princesses showed up!  He ran right over to pose with Belle.  I was shocked to see him actually wanting me to take his picture.  Do you think Belle could make a trip to Austin for our family pictures in the fall? :)

True Love

 Carson thought they looked pretty nice too.  

After breakfast we headed to California Adventure where our first event was Disney Junior Live.  All of Connor's favorite shows rolled up into one... Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins, Handy Manny, and Jake and the Never Land Pirates.

 This show was perfect for him!  There were no seats so everyone sat on the floor and the kids could stand up and dance around with them.

 This park had different sections all representing some part of California.  There were also tons of street performances and parades.

Connor was good at helping us decide where to go next. 

 Another highlight of the day... meeting Lightning and TowMater!  They were there to promote Cars 2 coming out this summer.

 This picture sums up Connor right now.  He is so independent and truly believes he is as big as everyone else.  Luckily it wasn't very crowded so he was able to have a little freedom and walk "all by myself."

 Headed to the boardwalk.

 Connor was exhausted so we cut the day short and headed back to LA.

After checking in to our new hotel we headed back to see Kevin, Rachel, and Owen. 

 Dinner at the Farmer's Market and cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery was the perfect was to end the day.
