Today the Cox family (in from Texas, Becky and I have been friends since High School, I am not going to mention how many years that's been...) came down to visit Disneyland. This was Jesse (Becky's husband) and their son Jayden's first time to the "Happiest Place on Earth!" How exciting!!! Since they were so close my brother Craig and friend Amanda and I took the girls up to Downtown Disney to have lunch with them. We all went to the Rainforest Cafe. Cadence has been there before with Meena but this was Kendall's first time, and probably her last! If you have never been there it is exactly what it sounds like. The whole place is covered from top to bottom and looks like a rain forest with (fake) animals everywhere making a lot of noise. About every twenty minutes or so the lights would dim, the animals would start making a lot of noises, thunder would crack and lightning would flash. A very tropical experience to everyone, well everyone that is except little Kendall. She was so freaked out by the whole thing she didn't even touch her lunch. She just sat there cautiously looking around as if someone or something was going to jump out and grab her at any second. When the storms would start, her own waterworks started up as well. I tried my hardest to be upbeat and show her that it was fun, but she wasn't having any of it. Poor kid...
We have officially celebrated Cadence's third birthday with a Hawaiian Luau themed party. I think of all the girls birthday this was my most favorite and easiest party. Grandpa and Grandma Cilderman were gracious enough to allow us to use their home and pool for the party. Here are some highlights. (*The word some can be substituted for the words a lot.)
