We began our adventures at Knott's Berry Farm with Brynley and Matt's family. We rode quite a few daring roller coasters! If you haven't tried the "Accelerator" you must. But be prepared--it's the fastest roller coaster Matt and I have ever been on. Brynley chose to sit that one out which was probably wise. But Barbara (Matt's Mom) rode it with us. She's crazy!
More trains. . . .
Abby made Brynley carry her almost everywhere!
After a full, long day at the park Brynley was still up for entertaining!
The next day: DISNEYLAND!
After we parked and started down the escalator to the trams to take us to Disneyland Matt received a phone call from the president of Bakersfield College. He did not expect to get this job, but the president offered it to him right there. He was very excited and Disneyland really was the "happiest place on earth!"
After first riding the train around Disneyland we saw Minnie Mouse!
We found out there is now a Pixie Hollow where you can meet Tinkerbell and other fairies, so we stopped in to see her. But Abby was a little bit shy.
The Jungle Cruise was another of Abby's favorite things in Disneyland.
She also enjoyed the parade and Mickey and Minnie stopped right in front of us!
Our next adventure was at a place called Adventure City. It had rides the perfect size for Abby and even included a petting zoo. We once again rode the train! She also liked the cars on the track and kept saying "again!"
The next day Matt's whole family went to the Strawberry Festival. It was much warmer than we expected, but we rode a few rides, looked at booths, and ate excellent corn, hot dogs and strawberries!
Heather and Brandon!
After a long hot day at a city fair Brynley decided the pool sounded great! Unfortunately it is only heated by the sun and the sun hasn't warmed up the pool quite enough yet!
Heather, Dexter, Matt and Barbara by the pool.
Abby's quiet book for Church made by Aunt Heather. Thanks Auntie!
Cousins--Dexter and Abby!
Ready for Church.
The drive home.
Side walk chalk friends!
Dinner outside!
Bye-Bye cousin Brynley. . . .we love you.
Please come back soon.

Then it was straight to the castle and Fantasy Land.
We decided to celebrate Matt's good news with some Mickey Mouse ice cream. It was the most solidly frozen ice cream bar I think I've ever eaten. You can tell by Abby's expression!
This is Brynley before we went on Small World which was one of Abby's favorite rides!
