The BIG Birthday Trip!

First of all, do you notice anything different about Rylie?

We cut off all of her hair!!!
She really needed a good trim, and her hair was long enough, so we asked her if she wanted to go a little shorter and donate her hair to Locks For Love. When we explained what it was, she was all over it! She looks so much older with her "new hair"!

So, for Rylie's birthday this year, she decided that she didn't want a party. Instead, she wanted to take Felicity and Elizabeth (her American Girl Dolls) to Sacramento to see her friend Mackenzee and to go see The Lion King! I was all over that idea...because that meant I got to see Aimee too! The best part of this idea...Rylie and I get our first trip together!

Here they are on the plane! When we were landing, Rylie was having her girls look out the window...it was so cute! She was so excited!

Mackenzee was already asleep when we arrived, so Rylie and I got to have a sleep over! She even tucked me in!

Here we are, dolls and girls in matching outfits, and all...ready to go to The Lion King!

Aren't they ALL so cute!

Me and Rylie just before the show began!

We loved it! Rylie thought the animals were really cool! Mackenzee thought young Simba was "so cute"!

Even Felicity, Elizabeth, and Gabrielle liked the show!

The show was right across from the State Capitol, so we took a walk over there afterwards for some pictures.

Pretty cool huh! Aimee explained to Rylie that this is where the "president" of California works!

Whenever we go to a show, the Cheesecake Factory is the place we eat...so the girls decided they needed to keep the tradition going! We had a great time!
