Ski Week - Part 2 - Disneyland

From the snow...to Disneyland we go!  3 days in Disneyland.  It was super fun.  I rode everything I wanted to ride....we rode Star Tours (3 times), Space Mountain, The Matterhorn (2x), Splash Mountain, the canoes, Radiator Springs (2x), Goofy's Sky School (formerly Mulhulland Drive), Luigi's Flying Tires, that Mater ride, the Zephyr, some bug's rides, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion and Autopia. There might be more, but I can't remember.  I think my favorite rides are Star Tours and Space Mountain and Radiator Springs.  

The first time we rode Radiator Springs, we had to get up super early in the morning to get in line - just to get the fast pass.  We got ours for 11:50 in the morning, so since we were already up, we did a bunch of other rides and came back for it.  It was awesome.  The next time, it was super late at night...like 9 or later and we only had to wait 30 minutes.  It was cool to see the place lit up at night, with fireworks going on in the background.

Beautiful day for some ice cream!

I'm gonna drive, baby!

In the driver's seat.  Too bad I'm too short to push the pedals...thanks Mom!

This is serious

Traffic.  LA.  What do you expect?

Ready to ride the Matterhorn...Yeti, here I come!

All ears.

Whoo hoo, Cars Land!

It's Lightning McQueen!

Break time

Love cookies with lots of sugar

Hmm...they call this the Matterhorn.

On Radiator Springs...it's gonna be good.

Lunch at Blue Bayou.

Littlest Rower

Auntie Kasie and Elle came to Disneyland to watch Cameron.  We had dinner

and rode a few rides together.  :)

Late night drive.

Making a wish

Hope it comes true.

Ski Week - Part 1 - Actually Skiing

It was Ski Week...so what do we do?  Well, go skiing of course!  After school on Friday, we packed up and drove down to Paw Paw and Gung Gung's house.  It took a while and we got to LA kinda late.  Course, super happy to see Paw Paw and Gung Gung!  On Saturday, we drove up to Big Bear.  It would have been an easy drive, but the grownups decided they wanted to eat at a place called Din Tai Fung....we must've taken the long way and by the time we got there, it was crazy packed...over an hour wait!  What?  We ended up eating at another Shanghai style restaurant that was still yummy.

With our bellies full, we carried on....up the mountain on a very windy road!

That's Cameron and I....

Here comes speed racer.

This is my face as I come down the mountain

Enjoying the view at lunch.  It's fab up here!

Okay, another one.

Snow play with Cameron at the peak.

Too bad C isn't smiling otherwise this would be a good picture...

There's our table.  HI Gung Gung!

Ahhhhhh!

Following Gung Gung's lead.  For some reason, I keep thinking if

I put my hands behind me, I'll go faster....but I'm wrong.

Thanks for skiing with us Gung Gung!!!

Okay, ready, set, go!!

Happy boy with happy grandpa!

Bye!!!

I'm in the lead!

Making snowballs

Look at my pile!

Hmm...this track...isn't working....

Such a nice day to go sledding...

We had so much fun romping around in the snow.

Ready for a snowball

Wahooooooooo!!!!!

Apple and cheese snack with Paw Paw

Some friends of Mom's and their kids came over for a visit. 

And we were crazy in the snow!

The night before we were leaving....the skies dumped over a foot of fresh powder.

Great for skiing and playing...but not so much for driving.

Kids at work...

Nice white roads...but slow going with chains.

On the way home, we did stop at Din Tai Fung for some Shanghai dumplings...they were so good, I ate 8 of them.  (one order has 10) I also ate 3 servings of green beans.  It was really good.  Then I had some dessert.  I was pretty darn full after that.  We had a great ski trip.  Two days on the slopes, I'm learning to parallel a little bit and ski with control.   And this is only part 1....

Here's video of my skiing...
