Our trip to California: November 5th-14th

We went to California to spend some time with Uncle Dennis and our friends. We had lots of fun and we were very happy to be in California again surrounded by our extended family.
This was Mika's first trip to California!






On our way!








Arriving in Los Angeles....we're finally here!




Playing a game of pool at Uncle Dennis' house on the beach. It's a great place and is very relaxing.














Enjoying a delicious dinner together. Me, Max, Mika, Uncle Dennis, Katie, Kevin, Nicole and Linda.










Mika with her Godfather, Uncle Dennis.











A beautiful California sunset.....























Mika and Kathy's Mom, Sandi. Kathy was my best friend who passed away six years ago. Sandi has a special place in my heart and she and Mika got along great with each other immediately.












Uncle Dennis got me a rental car to drive while we were there as a surprise. I love this car!
















Going for a walk at the street fair on the Huntington Beach pier.





























Having a fun day at Disneyland.....




















































Having a fun day at the ESPN Zone at Downtown Disney.

Snuggled up on the couch watching a movie at Uncle Dennis' house.

Mika with Katie and Kevin. Kevin is Katie's boyfriend and he's super nice. We went to Dave and Busters to play games, eat dinner, and have lots of fun.














We love going to Dave and Buster's! It's a fun restaurant that serves great food and we played lots of fun games.














We won lots of tickets at Dave and Buster's! Mika got a beach towel, a purse, a yo-yo, and a princess book. Max got a sweatshirt, a tshirt and a yo-yo.

  2. Your daughter is just so precious! My husband and I are just starting our own international adoption journey, and love seeing families who have done the same :-)

    Happy New Year!
