I believe the actual quote was, "Yes, Rubie - you can have whatever you want at Disneyland."

and, then I was scared...

yep, she did...


Rubie's usual "eating sugar" face (looks like she hates it and we are FORCING her to eat the lollipop)...


Meeting Cinderella...


Princess Minnie...

Princess Mulan...

yep...

Please notice the ice cream is mixed with the lollipop mess that was still on her face...

You can't tell by the look on her face, but she really did have the best time ever. Thanks, Gramma Pam...

Cousin Henry and Uncle Joe

came over to play...

Sure, Henry looks macho here with his truck...

But, he also has a softer side (look, I think he is even puckering)...

Warm October Evening

Cookies

Sierra (and her mommy) invited us over to make and decorate cookies yesterday. The girls had so much fun. Here is Sierra sampling the finished product...

Kidspace Children's Museum

Rubie wanted to go somewhere today, so we hopped in the car and drove out to the children's museum in Pasadena.




Here she is watering their garden. She thinks the water is supposed to come out of the top, so she just dumps the water out. Poor vegetables.

They have a river and pond that the kids get to play in...

Insect show...

Petting a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach (named Maddie) - yikes...

Rainy Day in October

Beach

We had nothing to do today, so Rubie and I drove out to the beach. I expected it to be chilly, but it was great weather (well, no sun - but other than that, warm). We started at the pier...


Then we walked down to the water and played in the sand...




I couldn't even get her to get her feet wet - usually, she won't stay away from the water...
