Carousels and Water Play

While the princess lunch was the highlight of the day for Charlie and Sammy, the girls had hours of fun ahead of them after they filled their bellies with yummy food and gave hugs to the princesses.

The girls rode the King Neptune carousel several times, looking thoroughly adorable and completely blissful.


After going on several rides at California Adventure, Sam and Charlie got wet and silly at a couple of water play areas.


Once the girls were back in their princess costumes, they were off to get their punims painted. They were now cat princesses—and boy, were they cute!

By the time we left the amusement park, it was about 11 hours after we'd arrived! David and Lisa never imagined that Sam and Charlie would have enough energy (granted, we rented two strollers) to make it that long. As the girls piled into the car, they seemed ready for bed, though they mustered up enough energy to play with some overpriced light-up wands that Mommy and Daddy bought for them minutes before we made our exit.
