STORYTELLERS CAFE

The morning after Disneyland, I went to The Grand Californian Hotel to have breakfast with Nana & Papa and a bunch of Disney characters.

As soon as I walked in to the Storytellers Cafe, I saw Chip and gave him a high five and a hug!

After I sat down at my table, Mickey came by!

I told him a bunch of cities and asked if he’d ever been to them. Mickey has been EVERYWHERE. Even North River, North Dakota, population 55.

I also asked Pluto where he’s been and he hasn’t really been anywhere.

Dale has been to lots of national and state parks, but he seems to avoid big cities. When I asked if he’d ever been to London, he indicated that he’s afraid of airplanes.

And I got to see Minnie again. She was just hanging out at her house yesterday!

Dale and Pluto really liked the horn on my rhino hoodie.

Even though it was time to go, I just couldn’t stop giving the characters a list of places and asking if they’d ever been there. They answered dozens of my questions.

I originally planned to go to California Adventure after breakfast, but it was so rainy and windy, we had to resort to Plan B. So I basically played with the hotel curtains and hung out with Nana and Papa. It was a nice rest day!

RAINY DAY WANDERINGS

It was super rainy in Los Angeles, so the plans we had fell through.

So it’s a good thing that I love nothing more than wandering around buildings and checking everything out. While Daddy worked, Mommy and I took the elevator to every floor in our North Hollywood hotel and explored.

I saw this weird end of a hallway and wanted Mommy to take a picture of me there.

This is a mural that was in the parking garage.

BABYSITTING KENJI

While we were in Seattle over the weekend, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Ryan went out to dinner, so we took care of Kenji!

First, we had a big dance party.

Then Kenji took Mommy’s shoes and keys and tried to escape.

Eventually, Kenji wheeled in his Radio Flyer. I pulled him around for a little while…

…Then it was his turn to wheel me around. I think he had fun being my chauffeur!

DECK LIFE

Our deck is a scorcher in the afternoon, so I only go out wearing Mommy’s deck sandals. (I have my own, but why would I wear those??)

Just hanging out with Hugs on the deck stairs. Perhaps, I will one day set foot in our yard. We’ll see…
