Halloween, Disneyland, and stuff Mick ate; a picture blog
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
we spent our first night at my cousins house in santa monica. mick didn't think he was tired, but after dinner he realized it was sleep time and we had to refuse my cousins push to get us to go out with her
his first meal was at our favorite mexican restaurant, La Cabana. both my mother and my cousins mother called to make sure he ordered the carne asada. Carly got the mariachi band to sing for us and even sung mick happy birthday...
the next morning we went to the 50's diner and mick had his first american hamburger and thoroughly enjoyed it
then we took a walk on Venice beach and mick got all wet. he wanted to swim in the "sea" but i wouldn't let him...
unfortunately, we had to drive back to my place during some nasty weather and mick couldn't behold the beauty that pch sometimes is
our hotel room in ventura was nice. my friend who works there got me a sweet discount
we took a stroll down mainstreet and i pointed out all the boring stuff he prolly didn't care about. we went to urban outfitters and i found this dress for an unbeatable price. this wasn't the only time mick voluntarily strutted around in it....
i already had a few punkins at home but i really wanted to take mick to a pumpkin patch to pick more stuff out. unfortunately we had to go on a weekday, so i couldn't take him to the big one with the petting zoo and tractor rides, but something tells me he doesn't mind
we got only the best of punkins
we did some spook decorating at my house. my dad previously announced that he wanted a tunnel of cobwebs this year and i happily obliged. we also made an awesome zombie
micks desire for greasy spoon 50's themed diners was great
i taught mick how to carve a pumpkin
he liked feeding rowdie bits of pumkin which was adorable at first but ended up being a bad idea. now that rowdie had the taste for pumpkin, he chewed up our jack o lanterns when we were gone and totally ripped off my big pumpkins awesome curly stem :<
micks pumpkin was tim burrton inspired and i decided to go a more traditional route with my little one
mick inspired me to be a smartass with my big pumpkin
they turned out quite well indeed
before entering the gates of disneyland we put on my sisters sunscreen that made us look like retarded ghosts....
yaaaay halloween disneytime!
yaaay ice cream
yaaaay nightmare before christmas mansion
mick picked out an excellent hat to compliment his mickey mouse costume
pretty castle...mick got better pics of it being spooky castle
there happened to be an ihop next to our hotel and i wouldn't be a good american if i didn't make us have breakfast there
boobies make it better
california adventure was great despite all the construction and closed down parts. the new monsters inc. ride was top notch and the toy story game ride was sooo much fun. tower of terror and scream'n are two of my new favorites and im glad i finally went on them
who ever decided the swinging carts on mickeys "fun" wheel was a good idea is a fucking asshole!
the second night in anaheim, i decided on a wild whim to take mick to a party mindance invited us to. it ended up being not so bad an idea after all...
i made sure to feed mick tacos and a torta at my favorite hole in the wall. those who know ventura should recognize this place by the silly tables
btw, i costumed my parents for their halloween party. my mother awoke me the next morning to tell me she lost the priceless hat i didn't want to let her borrow.... but luckly and 80 dollar bribe made the cab driver "find" it and bring it back
stripper mickey is my favorite mickey
if mick and i attended a costume party, we would have won FO SHO
i helped my friends out with costumes too and turned darryl into Kobe and Jon into a sultan of unimaginable riches
our zombie became a hillbilly zombie by night
i convinced sam to wear a green m&m costume becasue it made for the perfect rondo...and it was comfy and warm!
the party was great, lots of good people
dr. jizzenstien
the little girl realized
i did kat's lady nosferatu makeup
cat people fuck, fuck like the wind
a robber and a ninja...mustaches make everything better
vietcong
an explorer.... "you didn't tell me you were gonna be a DEAD explorer!"- bewildered and very happy partier
an excellent hamburgalur and josh in the very opposite of his usual suit
hitgirl!
the little girl has a knack for passing out and vomiting all over himself
we spent the first half of actual halloween day exploring more stores that mick wanted to see. he was so steadfast on experience a walmart but after about 5 minutes in one, he decided he was done with that idea
mick learned that not all of america is america, some of it is mexico...
i took him to Dargen's on hallowen night where i introduced him to an AMF. and even though my margarita was incredibly tasty, mick still seems to think that tequilla is gross. we went to a friends "party" afterwards where his geeky friends wouldn't stop paddling eachothers asses. i finally got the last king on a game of kings cup, but ssshhh, i didn't drink it all
mick fell in love with the wildberry mojitos at woodranch. "the second best thing in america"
om nom nom ribs
om nom nom burrito
om nom nom sushi
the capybaras are back at the santa barbara zoo and they were being fucking adorable, all swimming around and stuff
these stupid birds are currently replacing the lemurs :<
after the zoo, we met up with kat and wondered around state street and had yummy pizza and bought shit
^ this guy is great
i want this chair
we went to my favorite cafe for breakfast on our last day in ventura. mick still isn't used to "american larges"
how fucking representative of the impending fate is that....
one last visit to in and out so mick could get a shirt and an xl drink
his last night in cali was spent at my cousins house again where we jammed late into the night. i became "ticket girl" for the little kids' performance and let me tell you, it was VERY entertaining. those kinds are way too cute. i also drew a picture of mick, he kept moving around so i don't think it turned out very well, but i made him take it anyways
LAX SUCKS
i miss you, my silly dutchman
too bad he didn't get to see the gorgeous sunset on my drive home
