last week my friend rashelle and her daughter lily came to visit. we had many grand adventures and a wonderful time reminiscing and laughing. here's a synopsis of what we did...
we went to santa monica. we enjoyed a nice stormy sea...
we rode the carousel. i think everyone felt the way ella looked!
we went to the zoo. the girls had a great time sharing lunch and the wagon. it poured rain on us as we sprinted through the parking lot with three tiny girls. it was a funny sight.
we had a reunion with nicki and christa (and lindy too) who lived with us in belize. and we ate at a belizian restaurant. yum!
the big adventure was disneyland!
addie was a little scared of mickey, but lily was so excited to see him and greeted him enthusiastically with a hug.
the funniest part of the day was the new orleans show. there was a part of the show where little kids were invited to come up and shake tambourines so lily and addie volunteered. the singer said to addie, "how about you itty-bitty? you wanna play?" so she joined the others but refused to take a tambourine, instead she clung to her anti-bacterial hand gel like an ocd kid. lily danced her heart out and played her tambourine and addie just stood there holding her purell. so funny. oh that itty-bitty girl of ours!
the pooh bear ride was one of the "scary" parts of the day. addie told us that she was "crying" in the ride but has of course continued to talk about it everyday.
ella took some naps.
addie loved toon town. mickey's and minnie's houses were her favorite.
ella's favorite part of the day was watching cartoons of mickey while waiting in line.
the girls did really well together all week and by the end loved each other very much!
