Thea was the last of the littles to go on her special trip. We left bright and early on a Monday morning and went to Orange County. The seats getting there got tighter and tighter and I ended up using almost all of my miles to make sure we would get there. That made me pretty sad. We got to the hotel, they charged me $50 to do an early checkin. That was less than they charged me when I took Harper.
We uber'ed to the park. It was so very cold!!!! It rained our entire time there, pretty much. Our first day was in California Adventure. It was kind of frustrating. So many rides were "broken" or out of service due to the rain. We did manage to get on a few. She loved the Muppets 3-D movie. She loved the Crush feature - so cute. But, sad that we couldn't go on Luigi or Ariel. Soaring came back up before we left, so we went and got on that. We left shortly after that. We went back to the hotel, soaking wet, and got our swimsuits on and went and hung out in the hot tub.
Thea was not real interested in the pool. Unlike her sisters. That was the only time we got in the pool.
The next two days were spent at Disneyland. The first day was really nice. We actually took our jackets off. We went on almost everything. But Disneyland had the same problem that California Adventure had. Rides breaking down. The first day, while in line for Roger Rabbit, that one went down. They actually gave us a "fast pass" like code and we were able to go through pretty quickly and get on the Autopia ride. She drove. The next day while we were in line for Peter Pan, it broke. Never got to go back. I was sad, it's my favorite Fantasyland ride.
My cute little Thea is such a daredevil kiddo. She loved Pirates, Thunder Mountain, Soaring, Matterhorn. She liked those bigger rides that were fast moving and kind of rollercoaster like. Her smile and face were just so joyous.
I loved this trip so much. She made me so happy. I loved that she wanted to stay and ride as long as she could. She was so good. We would go home those two next nights and she would just want to shower. She would eat. We would call home to talk to her parents. She would pass out. She was amazing. I love that I get this time with them.

This week has been one for the books. There has been some good things, not so good things and more. I will explain. Last Saturday, my daughter and I drove to Idaho Falls. We went to visit my bonus daughter and her family. I wasn't feeling great. But I wasn't feeling horrible. By the time I got home, I had a lot of swelling. I have been dealing with that for a few months. I had started to see a specialist about my liver and my pancreas. I had recently started a medication, it is a very pricey medication, but it's supposed to help me break down calories and nutrients so that my body absorbs them. Even though I eat, my body was just shedding the nutrients and food I was eating and making it so I was not gaining weight. I was 95 pounds. And nothing I did would gain weight. But I've gained 20 pounds over the last few months. My clothes were uncomfortable. But, I don't know if it's just the water retenti...
