After the funeral and visiting family I took Dyllan and Rileigh to the park. I took tons of pictures of both the girls, Rileigh laying on a blanket on the grass and Dyllan playing on the equipment and loving on her sister. While at the park, Dyllan made a new friend named Suzie. It was so cute, Dyllan took her hand and brought her over to color with her new color box that her Uncle Danny and his girlfriend Marie got her. They sat there and colored and after about 10 minutes Dyllan comes running to me and asks me if she is being a good helper, it was so sweet. They played for another 20 minutes or so until it started getting a little chilly and I decided it was time to go. They hugged and we left.
That night Dave and I packed our bags for Disneyland while Dyllan watched TV at the hotel. It was so awesome knowing she had no clue what was going on or where we were going the next day. After a long two days we knew she deserved it.
Sunday morning we got up early and met Dave's brother Josh and drove to Disneyland. Dyllan kept asking where we were going and we kept telling her we were going to see some friends. She was asking about the "friends" like "Are they big kids, little kids, or big people?" It was the cutest thing. We parked at Disneyland and she kept seeing small things and she would say "That looks like Disneyland!" and we would say "Oh I wish we could go there!" Finally she saw the sign and started screaming and jumping up and down. It was great! She was so surprised!!
We had a great day. Spent lots of money, ate lots of good food, rode tons of fun rides and enjoyed our time as a family. Rileigh was awake most of the day, was kickin it in the stroller and loved looking around at things. Dyllan was super excited to ride the rides she wasn't able to the last time we went to Disneyland. Rileigh rode Pirates of the Carribean and The Haunted Mansion while I wore her. She didn't even budge during the louds noises! Dyllan's favorite ride was Splash Mountain, she loved it so much we got on two times in a row.
We had a very short but long day at Disneyland and will always remember the day we surprised Dyllan.
