Our kids LOVE Auntie Shirley from Africa! We got to Disneyland with her while she was here and we had so much fun that we stayed until 11:00PM! We have NEVER stayed that late before! We hit Peter Pan, Dumbo, Finding Nemo (1st time!), Ferris Wheel at CA adventures, Carousel, Jungle Cruise, Storybook boat ride, Circus train, Tea Cups, Small World, the parade (the girls and I were in it! They invited them into it and we joined a little train. I knew they really wanted to "be on stage," but they didn't want to go by themselves. So I went with them. ) Sammie just said, "Do you know what happened at Disneyland? We were on stage!" We really couldn't have done all of that without Auntie Shirley's help. They were so excited when they heard she was coming to visit. They kept counting down the days. We all miss you already, Shirley! Say, "Hi!" to all your friends down in Mozambique for us!
Sammie and her daddy. She was all nice and bundled up. I think she had four layers on! It gets cold way up there on the ferris wheel.
Josiah's first tea cup ride!
Auntie Shirley and Sammie on Dumbo.
Josiah danced for everyone.
Our last family dinner before she left. You can see how much they love her in these pictures.
We hope to see you soon, Shirley!
