We missed the Diz!!

Posing with Pluto!

Rocking my Star Tours classes!

Ready for our Star Tours flight!

Danni saw the rocket ships!

Climbing aboard our rocket!

Danni was a little shy around Alice....

The Mickey Pumpkin is in place!  Guess that means Halloween is on its way!!! 
FINALLY!  Our passes aren't blocked out any more, and the weather isn't sweltering... so my parents took us back to the Diz!  We got to ride the new Star Tours for the first time!!  I wasn't scared at all -- but I was disappointed that Mommy wouldn't steal a pair of super-cool 3D glasses for me!  :)  We rode our favorite rides and, for the first time, I actually wanted to meet some of the characters that we saw!!  I was too shy to talk to Alice in Wonderland ... but I gave Pluto a High Paw!!  We're looking forward to more Disneyland trips this fall!!!

Go Team Stephanie!

Danni and I got a tour of the firetruck!!

Danni got behind the wheel of a fork lift!

Team Stephanie 2011!

Danni enjoying some quality time with Papa.

Crossing the Finish Line!


Danni made friends with a doggie!


Kisses for Papa!

'Let's close the door!'
We joined Team Stephanie to do a 5K Walk to raise money and awareness for Ovarian Cancer in honor of our cousin who passed away last year.  It was another perfect day... perfect for remembering Stephanie and her fight against Ovarian Cancer,  and visiting with our family!!  Papa, Auntie Suz, Auntie Lynn, Uncle Paul, and Aunt Kelly all joined us for a great cause!!   

Happy Birthday, 7-Baby!!

Ready to party!!

Danni found a seat that was just her size... and color!

Princess of the castle!

Bouncerizers!

My first time trying Cactus Cooler!

Peeking out the window to say hi!  (It was too small for both of us to fit!)

Danni says, "Go Away!!"

Time Outs make me sad.

Practicing her outside noises!

Pinata time!

Danni didn't want to hurt the cupcake

I got a couple of good hits in!!

Drifing!!

Giving the birthday girl a kiss!
Danni's friend Delaney (a.k.a. 7Baby) turned 2... so we celebrated at her cupcake-themed party!  We had fun playing with all of the kids and going crazy in the backyard!!  There were lots of treats to enjoy too!!  And, we both protested when it was time to leave.  Happy Birthday, Delaney!!  :)

Discovery Science Center!

Putting my face through a bed of nails!

Building at the Mr. Potato Head table!

She was looking for a tongue for her Potato Head!

She wanted to splash in the bubble wall!

Drifing a Jeep!

Rock Climbers!

Fishies!!

She loved the view!

The highlight of the trip was a trash-sorting game!

I found a can!

Inside 'The Cube' ... this had a water bottle rocket launcher!  Cool!

Zamboni Drifer Zashi!
Mommy wanted to scope out the Discovery Science Center for a field trip possibility for her kids... so Daddy, Danni, and I joined her to give it a test drive!  We had an amazing day!  The museum has tons of hands-on exhibits and activities for kids -- we didn't even realize we were learning!!  We just hope that when Mommy takes her class, we get to tag along too!  (By the way, it's FREE for teachers!  Sweet!!)

Making Friends a the Nut Farm!

We ALMOST have the hang of taking a staged, 'Say Cheeeese!' picture!

Feeding the goats some corn!

BIRDIES!!!

Danni only wanted to feed the 'baby goats'... the big goats had other plans!

These sheep kept nudging her and knocking the corn out of her hands!!

'This is my favorite best goat!'
While we were in San Diego, we took a little day trip to the Nut Farm... a place Mommy used to visit when she was a little girl.  Danni and I weren't really interested in any of the nuts that they sold... But we WERE interested in the animal feed!  We bought a couple of packs of corn and made some new friends...

Parents of the Year!

It's SUPER Zashi!!

Bouncing super high1!

Almost hitting the ceiling!!
I can't believe that my parents EVER let me try this!  It's called 'Air Bouncing' and I discovered it while I was at the mall with Mama Vee!  It is my newest addiction!  They strap you into a harness, then you jump on a trampoline and go SUUUUPER high in the air.  To Mommy's horror, the attendant even taught me to do flips!  :)  She hopes that this phase passes quickly!! ;)
