DIsneyLand

On Thursday we flew to California to visit old college friends and take Izzy to Disney Land. Thursday we went to Katie's house and ate a delicious dinner (she is seriously the best cook ever). That night we hung out talking and laughing about the good old days.  Her husband and Mike are best friends too so we hung out a lot in Provo when we got married. 

Friday we went to DisneyLand. Izzy and Brighton with Cinderella.  Katie's kids were the best and Izzy loved playing with them. They all got along so well. 

 Izzy and I before Dumbo.  This was our first ride of the day, I didn't know how it would go, but she loved it!

 When it ended she yelled more, more and did not want to get off.

 So we found a ride nearby with a short line, the carousel.  Izzy has ridden the "horses" a lot at other places, but she still loves it!

 Then we rode "It's a small world."  I loved this ride because it was really long and Izzy was mesmerized with all the characters.

 The Pinocchio ride scared her a little bit.

 More of It's a small world. She looks scared in the picture, but really she had a great time.

Before the Winnie the Pooh ride with our friend, Elizabeth.

Winnie the Pooh.  Izzy loved all the characters.

Brighton really wanted to see the parade so I figured Izzy would like it to. That's an understatement, Izzy  LOVED the parade. She loved the music, the characters, the dancing, everything! They even danced a little before the parade started. 

"The princesses" as Izzy called them. Since we've been home Izzy constantly talks about Mickey Mouse, princesses, Lion King; it's so cute!

Paul, "Baby Alan," and Izzy. On Saturday we went to Paul and Elizabeth's house near San Diego. We went to the beach, ate at a great sandwich place, and got shakes. Then we met Mike's old pitching coach, Coach Applegate, and his family for dinner.

On Sunday we went to Kellie and Greg's house, friends from our Provo ward.  Izzy loved Kellie's jewelry.

Kellie and Izzy, wearing all the jewelry.

Izzy and Baby Ayla in the bath. Ayla is such a cute, happy baby.

Playing a Little Texas Hold 'em. Back in the Provo days this was an every weekend occurrence.

Look who is smiling now with all the chips!

Izzy and Ayla. She is precious!

We had such a great weekend visiting with old friends. It was so nice to see everyone, chat, eat, laugh, and just hang out.  Now we just need to get our friends to move back to Utah!!
