Adventures of Maverick & Patricio

Maverick was assigned the class duck in October to take home. His name is Patricio. When you take the duck home, you are supposed to take pictures so the kiddos can share a show and tell of their weekend with Patricio. Well we just happened to get assigned Patricio on the weekend we went for our annual Halloween-time visit to Disneyland. Ultimately, we got totally into it and in my normal fashion of embracing the fun stuff and doing it 110%, we ended up having a blast finding times to utilize our new family member. The following is Maverick's presentation on his weekend adventure with Patricio.

The Crazy Adventures of Maverick and Patricio

October 14-19,2011

Patricio had quite the adventurous weekend with Maverick. We were very happy to have him join us on our adventures. Maverick and his brother, Radley, told Patricio about all the fun they were going to have in the next few days.

We did some final shopping at Costco and Maverick shared his Pizza with Patricio. It was delicious.

Next Patricio came with us to the Pumpkin Festival and helped Maverick paint pumpkins and got a little paint on him. He also took a rest on the grass with brother when he got a little tired out. It sure was fun!

Soon it was time to load up the car and head out on our special Halloween Vacation to Disneyland! We were all soooo excited!

We got to the hotel and got a good night sleep for our big day.

The next day we took Patricio to Disneyland. Maverick was excited to get his first Annual Pass ticket into the park and was very excited to take Patricio with him. We all shared the stroller and experienced many fun and exciting things.

We visited the Fire Station

We rode Small World boat ride

And played in an awesome Redwood Challenge Playground.

Patricio was very helpful when brother was having a hard time and sat with him for a while to keep him company.

Patricio was having so much fun on this wilderness adventure!

We went home to take a nap and unfortunately Maverick woke up and his ear was “hurting inside”. So we had to take a trip to a medical clinic where the doctor looked in Maverick’s ears and said he needed some medicine and a shot. He was very brave even though his shot hurt very much. Patricio sat with him the entire time and was a very good friend. He also played with brother to keep him entertained while we waited.

Soon we were back at Disneyland and back on our adventure. Today we got to see Lightning McQueen and meet Sully too!

We went to see the Disney Junior show. They had lots of confetti there!

We rode the Monsters Inc ride in a taxi. It was really fun!

Maverick and Patricio had so much fun running crazy around Disneyland

They shared some popcorn.

Rode more rides together.

Watched a scary Bug Life movie with silly glasses.

So much fun all in one day. Soon Patricio and Maverick talked about what they wanted to do next.

They decided that it would be fun to spend some time at the pool. So we did.

That evening Patricio and Maverick talked about how much fun they had and their plans for the Mickey Mouse Halloween Party they were going to attend the next day!

Soon it was time for the party. We all dressed in costume. Maverick was a Dalmation. Radley was a Pirate. And Patricio was Super Duck! They all wore their costumes, went trick or treat and rode rides all night long until it was very very late. At one point Maverick changed to a Pirate costume too!

Soon it was late and we were sooooo tired. So it was time to head home.

The next morning we checked out all the candy we got at Trick or Treat. There was SO MUCH!

We decided to have a little more fun before we left for home. So we stopped in and tried on a bunch of silly hats.

And then we were SO excited to see the “other” duck! Donald Duck! So we took our picture with him and Patricio got to see his duck friend.

Soon it was time to ride the monorail to go home.

We did make a quick stop to play with giant Lego’s

But soon we were home and tucked into our warm beds dreaming of all the fun adventures we had . Hopefully Patricio had some fun too!
