California love...

In May we took a long trip to California to visit family and friends. We wanted to make sure to get a summer vacation in before our baby came. So, we packed up the car and headed to L.A. to meet up with our loved ones.

We had a great time visiting with the Cordova side of the family, attending a Davenport family reunion, and of course, seeing Mickey Mouse too!

I took this picture of us while we were flying around on the Dumbo ride. Ariyah doesn't look like she is having fun, but she really was. Granted, it was 9:30 p.m. and we had been at Disneyland ALL DAY! If we look a little giddy, that's why!

Ariyah loves carousels. Here she is with her Prince Daddy.

These are not great pictures, but if you look close you can see Granny Najor, Chris and Ariyah enjoying a ride on the teacups. Ariyah was so excited to ride the big teacups and kept talking about it all day.

In jail at in Toontown!

Disneyland was a lot of fun this time around. Ariyah was timid about some of the rides and downright scared on some of the others, but overall, she had a great time. I loved experiencing Disneyland through her eyes. I hope we can make this an annual trip!

Auntie Andrea was so kind to organize a Cordova family BBQ while we were in L.A. It was wonderful to see her, Uncle Chris and all the Cordova clan. We absolutely LOVE spending time with the Cordova side of the family. We always have GREAT food and even GREATER company. Ariyah had fun getting to know her family better too. We spent a perfect afternoon eating, talking and enjoying each other.



Thanks Auntie Andrea for playing bubbles! Ariyah had a great time hanging out with you, Uncle Chris and with cousin Nick too. What great memories we have of the time we spend with the Cordova family!
