Our California Vacation. Downtown Disney!!

This year for our family vacation we decided to go to California and do Disneyland, Sea World, the beach(Elizabeth's always wanted to go to a real beach!) and Las Vegas on the way back.  It was such a fun trip!  The kids traveled amazingly well, and Elizabeth was in pure heaven pretty much the entire time.  I've decided to do a little recap of the day(or sometimes possibly days) each post then just let the TONS of fun pictures to the rest of the talking.  So here goes.  We headed out Friday afternoon, drove to Primm(just outside of Vegas...it's way cheaper) spent the night, got up nice and early the next morning and drove to Fullerton(which is about ten minutes from Disneyland) where our hotel was.  We got there in the early afternoon and our first stop was to the Disney outlet store which was conveniently located just across the street from our hotel!  We found a few good deals then went to see if we could check in a bit early and lucky for us we could!  After settling in we drove to Downtown Disney where we spent the rest of the evening looking at the Lego Store then Build A Bear where Elizabeth built Puppy Paws her special custom made for Downtown Disney dog!  He's dang cute!!  We even built Devin his first bear which was the custom made for Downtown Disney bear, which we named Buddy and dressed up like Woody...Devin likes him alot!  We went to dinner at The Rainforest Cafe and to Elizabeth's delight we got to sit next to the elephants!  Then we perused the Disney store then called it a night!  (Just a side not there is a super cute picture of Elizabeth in a Belle dress, we didn't get it I just wanted to see her in it, and wasn't she adorable?! ...We of course got her the Snow White dress which I somehow forgot to get a picture of her in, so I'll work on that next week!)
