What A Weekend

We had the best weekend and cannot believe how smooth it all went. First thing Saturday morning we got our carpets cleaned, and then we headed to the airport to go to Los Angeles. One of my best friends was got married Saturday night and we went to the wedding. From the airport we drove straight to the wedding, where we met up with Grandma and Papa! The wedding was beautiful, Brooke was beautiful, and of course Rylee was beautiful too. She was so excited to see Brooke that we had to take her to the back of the courtyard during the ceremony because she kept yelling, "Brooke, I can't see Brooke! Where Brooke, Mom?" After the ceremony there was dinner and dancing, and then off to our hotel to rest up for Sunday . . . DISNEYLAND!!

In October we are going to Disney World for a week, and we wanted to see how Rylee was going to do, and she did amazing. She went on every ride that she could, she needs less than 1/4" to go on the Matterhorn (which she really wanted to do!) We started with the Carousel, something easy but exciting and she loved it. Then off to Dumbo, the tea cups, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan's Flight, Pinocchio's Daring Journey, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and then it was lunch time. She did a great job on Dumbo with the controls, and after every ride she would look at us with a huge smile and say, "I do dat again!" After lunch we went to Autopia, It's a Small World, then road the train to the other side of the park, then Winnie the Pooh and Pirates of the Caribbean. By this time she was getting pretty tired, so we decided to let her go pick out a present and she picked a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal. Papa wanted to get her a hat with her name on it, and she picked out a Tinkerbell hat and it is so cute! We are so glad we went and we are now more excited then ever for the family vacation in October.

Nolan was a trooper all day long. He took a couple of big naps and then he went on a few rides too. Nolan went on Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh, and Pirates of the Caribbean. He was absolutely fascinated by all the colors and noises on the rides.
