A day in the Mountains

I will be the first to admit that yesterday did not start well in our home. Thankfully things got a lot better and we ended up having a great day.  We spent the afternoon enjoying the great weather in the mountains and being together as a family.

  

Family Vacation

 In September we went to Disneyland with Adams family.  I really love going to Disneyland with my family, it was fun to share the experience with the rest of the family.  Emilee had fun playing with her cousins, especially in the morning during breakfast.
 This year Emilee was big enough to go on almost every ride, she loved the bigger rides.  I was worried about her going on Tower of Terror, she was more scared of how dirty everything looked instead of the ride.  She even wanted to keep going on the ride, I was proud of how brave she was.  The only ride we have found so far that Emilee does not like is the Matterhorn.  She hated the ride last year, this year we got her to go on it one more time and she still hates it.  Last year she hated how jerky it was and the monster, this year she hated the monster.

Adam saved up some extra money so we could take Emilee to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.  Emilee loved the whole experience.  She loved dressing up like a princess, having her hair done, and having her picture taken.  Her Fairy Godmother in training made a huge impression on her.  She loves doing my hair, even more now and she loves giving me fairy wishes with her wand.

We went to the beach one day.  Emilee didn't spend a lot of time in the water this year.  She had more fun playing in the sand with her cousins.  It was nice to have a relaxing day on the beach and playing in the water.  Watching Emilee play with her cousins reminded me of my vacations with my cousins.

We also went to an Angels game, it was nice to go to the game.  Emilee had so much fun at the game she wants to go back to a baseball game.  It was sad that the game went by so fast, and that they lost.
It was a fun vacation, and I am thankful that we were able to go on vacation.  I know that Adam worked really hard and gave up most of his summer so that we could go.  On the way home Emilee told Adam that she didn't want him to go back to work.  We should stay on vacation forever go to Disneyland and Paris.  I love that daughter of mine.  I am glad she had fun being on vacation with us.
