pixar parade

we've been cleaning house this week and i decided we needed a break. so, we went out to run some errands. mama wanted to get some school supplies for xander so he could start learning stuff that i used to teach, (uh oh, highlands curriculum?? just kidding). we went to lakeshore and then to walmart, then i asked xander where he wanted to go. usually, he says to xander's house because he wants to play with his toys, but today he said, "mama, let's shoot bad guys" so, off to our large playground in anaheim (we were halfway there already). since we got there late, it was perfect for us to see the pixar parade. xander's a big fan! if you don't believe me, check out his room! zack waiting for the parade to start.
who starts off the parade? lightning mcqueen! xander was taking his nap but when he heard that lightning was coming, he instantly woke up.

here we are right on the parade line. xander waving at everyone in the parade.

xander's hand was constantly waving. he kept telling me "mama look!" he didn't want me to miss a thing.

one of xander's favorites, ratatoille! he likes helping me around the kitchen because of this movie.

it's crush the turtle from nemo!

a picture of us watching! zack was really into it. i had to take him out of the stroller because this parade was a wet one. they were spraying water on us as they passed by and i didn't want zack soaking wet like kuya.

according to xander, his friend buzz lightyear! we yelled his name and he gave us a salute.

xander likes mr.potato head because of the toy story ride. he's silly!

and the end of the parade is mater! we had so much fun! after we headed to disneyland to shoot bad guys and also headed over to frontier land to see woody and jesse. it'll be a while till we come here again. gotta get our living room ready for xander's school table. until next time, see you later, mater!
