We went to the beach several times, but unfortunately Riley got salt water in her mouth and eyes on the first wave. It was hard to convince her to get back in after that. We had dinner and ice cream at Ruby's, the diner at the end of the pier on Seal Beach. I love that place-- so quaint. Eric, Stephanie, and I went to a Dodger's game and watched the fireworks after, which was very fun. We went to Disneyland-- Riley and Iris's first time, and my first time since I was about 10. I was a little aprehensive on top of my excitment; I thought the kids would drag and make things miserable. Just the opposite! They were so great! Riley had such a blast, and Iris was a trooper with only one nap. We loved it! Unfortunately Riley is going through a new stage where she covers her face in all pictures, but that's OK. That was an all day adventure, of course, and we took time to recuperate the next day. Eric and I were able to see our good friends Drew and Sarah, who moved out there last year, which was great. We have so much fun with them, and wish we could see them more often.
The main purpose of the trip was to get Eric's grandpa's car, to replace the Civic lost in the wreck. It's a Lincoln Towncar, baby! We're riding in style! After a few mishaps, we got home safely on Saturday night (or Sunday morning-- it was about 1:30 am...).
It was such a good trip. Patti, Stephanie, and Grandpa were all great-- thank you!
I have pictures almost exactly like this from two summers ago when we visited. They're both even wearing the same coats. We should shop more.
Very stoic

Tinker Bell's friend, Faun was so bored... no wonder Riley wouldn't look at her
Even Tink herself couldn't get the hands down
