We went to Los Angeles, California to see Grandma Ila and packed just about as much as anyone could possibly imagine into those 5 lovely (and very exhausting days). We spent half of the timea at Eila's great Grandmother's house and Grandma (Gigi) came from Montana so we had all four generations of the ladies together for the first time ever. It was very nice and a lot of fun. Eila and Grandma Ila experienced the ocean through seashells together, ate together, played together and just hung out. It was a very meaningful gathering. We also went down South of LA to see Rasha and her absolutely precious little daughter Malaika. The two hit it off immediately and Disneyland was just icing on the cake for them. We met Eila's cousins and aunt and uncle for the day at the Disney park and all the kids had a absolute blast. Eila was wide eyed for almost 12 hours of absolute mania! We also made a trip to a park to ride ponies, went swimming, rode a little train, went to a zoo, and met up with our dear friend Adam who got to meet Eila for the first time! The trip was a not restful, but very joyful! Eila was inducted into the Mousekateer club by Malaika and received her very own Mickey ears with her name embroidered on the back. Thanks Malaika!
