During the end of May, we traveled to Mama's home digs of California. Elias had been looking forward to this trip eagerly since this is where Mickey Mouse lives (never mind Oma, Opa, and Uncle T). It was a very busy week filled with beaches, mice, elephants, pirates, Legos, birthday celebrations and more.
First Exposure to the beach. It was so much fun that not only did one toddler melt down when prompted to leave, but he ran off back towards it later on....
Happy 3rd birthday breakfast!
We traveled to the Magic Kingdom, and magic it was....
 |
| Meeting Mickey. (Not so sure at first, but he warmed up to him) |
 |
| Riding Dumbo in his Dumbo ears |
 |
| All Aboard Casey Jr.'s Train! |
Elias found his inner pirate, especially after riding in the front row of the Pirates of the Caribbean.
 |
| How pirates celebrate their birthday at Disney |
 |
| Loot... |
 |
| Definitely the Happiest Place on Earth |
Elias finally met his match and new best friend: Spike. Spike was his great Grandma's dog which now lives with Oma and Opa. Spike loved to herd around Elias and Elias well, the pictures say it all...
Miss Morgan took us to her beach for some more sand and sun time.

| Argh...after exploring the beach, we need to eat a pirate lunch! |
Then we were off down south to explore a whole world of legos at Legoland.
We enjoyed our trip to California very much. Until next time from the barrel...
