We went bundled up and went to “Candy Cane Lane” in Oxnard. There were so many lights! We stayed out for an hour and a half and didn’t even see all the lights. Santa came by with some elves!
If you haven’t gone to see them, take the time to go out there. There was a guy who set up his HUGE telescope outside and displayed the moon on a tv screen. There was also a very long train set up in front of one house.
 Avery came in to show me her “sheep.” She actually drew this on her own and called it a sheep. I was cracking up. She then drew a pig, a princess and a boo-boo. The boo-boo was a dot on the magna doodle, just like the dot her foot! Too funny!! We’ll see what she comes up with tomorrow.
We went to California Adventure & Disneyland!! This was Avery’s first trip and she was very excited to go. She had no idea what she was in for- she thought we were going to the “Mickey Store” at the mall! She loved the rides and the parades the best. We didn’t see too many characters, but we did get to sit with Santa.
Avery went on her first real roller coaster. She screamed the whole time, and when it was over, immediately asked to do it again!
We stayed at the resort. While being very pricey, was very worth it with a kid who still naps. We didn’t use our car at all, we didn’t have to fight the parking lot crowds or walk very far to get back to our room. We walked right into California Adventure.
Many people told us that Cal. Adventure wasn’t realy worth going to, to just skip it. We spent an entire day there. There was plenty for us to do- Bugs Life, shows (Play House Disney), and a lot other rides too. We stayed till they closed at 9!
