54 Hours With India..........

.......and we made every hour count!

India flew in from Anaheim very late

Tuesday night.

This trip was a combination Father's Day

present for Don, and a

"Get'er done" trip for India.

And silly Mama(!!) was having 

so much fun, that she didn't take 

many photos with the camera.

So, you will have to see a few

"trombone arm" photos from my cell phone instead.

Wednesday morning, both girls

climbed into my bed to snuggle 

and watch "Phineas And Ferb".

They have missed each other so much!

So after a morning of serious snuggling,

and Banana Crumb Muffins for breakfast,

(Click that link, you won't be sorry!)

we hopped into the van to head for 

Discovery Kingdom.

We had gotten season passes and 

still needed to get India's picture taken to 

activate hers. 

She can use it at Magic Mountain down South,

and Ahnalin wanted to show her the sharks,

butterflies, walrus, dolphins, sting rays, 

penguins, and...and...and...

Ahnalin had to show her 

the "Walrus window".

They got rock candy together

(no corn syrup or red dye, lucky Ahnalin!)

Ahnalin was hoping that butterflies 

would land on them.

After a few hours at Discovery Kingdom,

we drove back home

and had to get to the church

for rehearsal. 

India worked on her resume in Daddy's office

while Ahnalin hoola-hooped.

After rehearsal, we came home

and ate enchiladas (India's request)

and then India finally got to snuggle with Daddy!

Thursday morning, we went over

to Santa Rosa Junior College

to get India registered, assessed,

financial-aided, and counseled.

India was impressed at how gorgeous

the campus was and how professional 

everyone was.

She is excited to start school again!

Then we ran to the mall,

so she could speak to the manager

of the Disney Store about

working there in the Fall.

The girls bought Tinkerbell Light Up Jelly shoes

to match!

(India's cast member discount works 

at the Disney Store too!)

 Because we did not get to celebrate

India's anniversary in February,

we had our special dinner Thursday night.

We always celebrate India's 

diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes,

because we are grateful for her and 

for each year of health.

India always requests steak and artichokes!

After dinner, we all went to

see "Pirates Of The Caribbean- On Stranger Tides"

at the cheap theater.

The girl's shoes were lighting up the whole time.

It was so funny!

After the movie,

we went home for a few 

short hours of sleep because India's flight

was to leave bright and early Friday morning.

Friday morning, we left the house at 5:00AM 

for the Charles Schulz airport

here in Santa Rosa.

Fortunately it is only a 15 minute drive.

This airport is so tiny, 

that you are actually allowed to park 

right in front, 

as in 15 feet away from the door!

I got the one and only family picture

of this short little visit there at the airport.

It was short, but very nice

Father's Day present for Daddy

to have both of his girls together for a few days.

So, India is back at the 

Disney College Program now.

She graduates from the program

next month.

We are so very proud of her!!!

We miss her so much!!

But we know she has learned so much

and grown up so much while 

working in "Fantasyland".

Thank you for your continued prayers

for my India. 

If you happen to visit Disneyland

between now and 

August 10,

you can visit her at the 

Storybook Land Canal Boats

in Fantasyland. 

Did I mention that I am a proud mama?
