My Vacation with Briella

I just had the most amazing two weeks! Our granddaughter, Briella, came to visit. She started flying by herself when she was 5 to spend a week with us in the summer. This year she decided to spend two weeks. I decided to just have fun while she was here and not spend too much time working. We went to California, just the two of us for a week. (It was just for girls!) While we were there, we went to Disneyland! What a blast! We went on all the rides that she wanted to! We spent the whole day and most of the night, but then at about 10:30 she said she was getting tired and I knew I couldn't carry her out of Disneyland if she fell asleep, so we went home to Grandma and Grandpa DeLancy's. The next few days, we went to the beach where some of my friends were staying and then went swimming at Eileen and Curt's with the cousins. We came back to Arizona where it has been hot! hot! and more hot! The swimming pool is feeling like a bathtub! Briella had to go back home yesterday...and now I have to start working again! But it was wonderful to experience her sweetness for two whole weeks! She will be getting baptized next month and it is hard to believe that almost eight years have gone by since her birth! This little time that I had with her makes me remember not to take life so seriously because time does fly!
