Great America and Dolls

Ten years ago this week my family moved to Washington from the Bay Area. It was a major transition to say the least. It was also one of the best things to ever happen to me. I am so grateful for all my WA friends and all the opportunities the move offered me. I'm only sorry I was such a California brat for so long....please forgive me.

Two weeks before our family moved I got my wisdom teeth out, and went to Great America. Since we now live 10 mins from Great America I thought it was a perfect way to celebrate the anniversary of the move and ride some coasters! Ten years has changed a lot at Great America. It's ghetto...but it has a water park. As Danny said, "Disneyland is 1000 times better. This really makes me appreciate Disney." The rides were fun but only had like 2 cars, boats, or whatever which made the medium size lines take forever plus the park was dirty. Glad we didn't do the water park.

The Rugrats

A lot of people ask me what I do during the day since I don't go into work. This is what I do...

Zoe (still not sure about the name) and her new wardrobe

Friends

crafts and other projects, visit the library, and check my email.


**The dolls were much cuter without faces. I didn't want to put faces on them because I am no artist and I know a face can make or break a doll or stuff animal. However, Danny said, "the dolls look freaky without faces." So they now have faces.**

Tennis, water polo, and a little Scooby Doo fun

Last week was really exciting. My cousin's daughter, Jasmine, played water polo in the Junior Olympics at Stanford so I met my Aunt Shirley and Uncle Bob at a couple of the games. It was really fun watching the games and hanging out with the team and family. I was so impressed with Jasmine's skill as goal keeper especially during the shoot outs! The team did awesome and brought home medals.

We also had some extra time between two of the water polo games so my Aunt Shirley and I were able to go see some of the Bank of the West Classic. We totally lucked out and were able to see Serena and Venus Williams play back to back. It was so fun and exciting. I feel bad Danny didn't get to go. I wish I would have taken some more action shots but I was too into the game to remember.

Serena was up first

Then Venus. Love her outfit!

It was also my cousin's son's birthday on Saturday so we went to a very fun Scooby Doo birthday party. There was a horrible crime and someone stole all the presents. Luckily Emma and Bryce were able to solve the mystery and get the presents back from the birthday monster.

It was a really fun weekend. Thanks cousins and aunt and uncle for including us!! I love hanging out with family. I only wish I would have taken more pictures!
