California Adventure

Disneyland

At our favorite place - the Blue Bayou! Since it was Caroline's birthday, Disneyland gave her a special button. Every cast member wished her a Happy Birthday and at every place we ate, she got something special! I think she really liked all the attention, it was fun.

Caroline trying to drive on Autopia. She is a wild and crazy driver, hopefully that will get better before she turns 16!

Caroline's surprise birthday

This year I decided to surprise Caroline for her 9th birthday. I took her to the American Girl Store in Los Angeles followed by a day at Disneyland. We had an absolutely marvelous time! Here she is at the Cafe, where your doll gets a spot at the table with its very own cup and saucer!

I ordered the birthday cake - it was very pretty.


Here the doll is getting its hair styled. It even had its ears pierced! So exciting when you are at the store, but looking back, a bit weird to pierce a doll's ears, and have its hair styled. But I would never tell Caroline that...

William's 11th Birthday

William turned 11 this year. For his birthday he wanted Kelly and I to take him to fancy dinner (he wanted to wear his suit), so we took him to the Portland City Grill. We had a great table with a fantastic view. Its 30 floors up!



He got a microscope and has already collected pond water and seen all sorts of swimming things...

The Wisshack's gave him a Confederate Flag - boy, he is all set for Fort Stevens this year!
