Thursday was the day we saved for California Adventure. Robin didn't come with us this day because she got sick during the night. When we woke up she was shivering but hot to the touch. We were all worried about her but knew there wasn't much any of us could do for her. Carla offered to stay with her but Robin told us that would make her feel worse. We checked on her throughout the day and she seemed to be getting better but never good enough to join us. I was worried about Robin before we came because she had gone to the ER two weeks in a row because of blood clots. This was better than having that. I was really glad we went to California Adventure on Monday so that Robin didn't miss it completely. We headed straight for Cars Land to ride the cars. There was a little wait but really not long for it being such a popular ride. It was fun. Patti and I took turns riding by ourselves. Carla doesn't like being by herself and so we didn't make her. I didn't mind though at all...except on the Toy Story ride. I wish I had been sideways with Carla and Patti instead of back to back. It would have been more fun but it was still fun.
I had received a text from Linda Love the night before and she wanted me to get her Jack Skeleton bag. We were just browsing in a gift shop when Patti saw some pants and shirts with that logo on them. She told me to look and then I heard: "Dawn Ropelato what are you doing here?" It was Suzie Arave, my neighbor. So funny. I was looking up the text to show her so that she too could keep her eyes open for the bag and before I could pull up the text Patti had it. As we talked to the gal ringing us up we noticed that she was from Liberty, UT. Carla's brother and her brother were great friends...we couldn't help but say: "It really is a Small World After All." Who'd of thought? Carla is always saying that we can't go anywhere without me knowing someone. hahaha I stuffed my purse into the bag I got for Linda and that is how I carried it around. (I hope she won't mind)
I will ride any ride once and held to that. Carla hated the California Screamin Roller Coaster. The whole time she was screaming..."I hate it...I hate it!". We went an saw Aladdin which was wonderful as usual and enjoyed a cute parade. Speaking of parade...right in front of Carla and Patti was a lady sitting on the curb. I was standing by the garbage can and so I didn't see what they did. The lady had a butt crack at least 6 inches showing and didn't seem to know or care. How do they NOT know? Both Carla and Patti took a picture to share with their kids. ☺
As we were sitting on a bench, Phoebe the Famous photographer came over to us. We all lied and told her we knew who she was ....who is Phoebe the Famous Photographer? There was also another lady walking around with a puppet dog and we didn't know who she was either...maybe she is Phoebe's friend. Anyway, Phoebe came over and made my day. She said look at you ladies. These two look so serious and there you are right between them with a big smile. She continued to say that I was like a light or ray of Sunshine! Comments like that make me want to continue smiling.
This week was fast and fun!
