Birthday in Disneyland

Danya's best friend Ryan and his mom went with us and it was amazing how much fun they had together.

In Minnie's house where she just had to sit on all the furniture.

For Danya's birthday we were is Disneyland over the weekend. Danya the explorer loved it, she said hi to all the characters, enjoyed the rides and loved to see all the other kids having fun. Here she is with Daddy taking a boat ride to see all the princess castles.

Strep throat = Bad Vacation

Two days after getting back from Arkansas, the three of us left for beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The morning of the flight Danya started to run a slight fever, naively, we thought we will just take it easy there and everything will be OK. Unfortunately, her fever got worse and the crankiness got a lot worse. She had no other symptoms but was not up for anything, which is unusual because she is a great traveler and loves adventure. So we thought it best to head home, we were only there one day. We got no pictures, no souvenirs, but would highly recommend the place, it was gorgeous (the parts we saw from our hotel windows). Monday we found out she has Strep and she is recovering nicely, thanks to the antibiotics. Ahhh, the lessons you learn as a parent…..

Family Time

We went to the Little Rock Zoo on a very cold day but still managed to ride the carousal and see all the animals.
Here is Harris, my other sister's adorable little boy sitting in his ride, for the moment.
We went for walks on the Arkansas River bridge which the kiddies loved. It was hard to keep them in their strollers. On the way back they got to walk and take some pictures. This is Danya and I with my younger sister Aisha.

We just returned from a couple of wonderful weeks in Arkansas. It was so great to spend time with family and just relax. We went to Way (not sure of the spelling) Mountain where there is a beautiful field full of daffodils. At first Danya tried to eat them until she figured out that they taste bad.
