Homebound





Auntie Kay took us to Yogurtland one more time before we left OC. Cups napped soon after the airplane took off around six in the evening. She had a surprised/scared reaction to seeing the plane getting further away from the ground for the first time. She buckled herself in before lying down. This is her fourth time traveling (after going to Hawaii, Boston and the Netherlands), and she started behaving like an experienced traveler already. (She put her jacket over her head.)

Cups really missed her kitchen. She went straight to her kitchen when we got home around ten. Somehow it took an extra hour airport to airport. The next morning she asked Mama to take her to her kitchen as soon as she woke up.

My silly baby







Still silly and happy after a long day at Disneyland. . .

When asked what she thought of Disneyland, she replied, "Scary!" Mama had a great time taking Cups. Thank you for taking us, sharing in the joy, treating us to yummy lunch and helping us navigate through both parks, Auntie Kay!!

On the rocket ride



Hey, Mama didn't make it in the picture!



Cups looked around curiously. We were on the rocket ride that swung out further and further from the center. This was the only Bigs' ride that Cups got on (and our last ride) for the day.



One can easily get sick from looking towards the center. Mama kept telling Cups to look out. She did both, haha.



At the end of the ride, Mama was surprised to see that Cups had a great time!

Bumper cars



Cups stood under the ruler again for Mama to take a picture. When she stood straight the first time, she barely made the mark. The attendant let us in.



Cups didn't like the bumping part. Mama used to not liking getting stuck in a position. That happened to us once. Towards the end of the ride Mama was able to drive around without bumping others or being bumped. Cups liked that better.

Spinning ladybugs





Cups didn't enjoy the spinning around too much. She ended up in Mama's lap towards the end. The attendant yelled for no riding in the lap. Mama yelled back that she was scared. The attendant yelled for her to sit on her own still. The ride stopped shortly. Cups didn't cry. She just had that face you see here.

Mama's favorite ride at California Adventures



Mama liked the exit sign even.



This was the caterpillar that we rode.



Mama had no idea what to expect. Then we smelled watermelon when we went through the watermelon. We smelled animal crackers when we went by them. It was fun and heavenly.

"Eat your fruits and vegetables. I miss you already!" the caterpillar says at the end of each ride.
