Wait, Pretend You're at Disneyland

We went over to Wil's parents house tonight for dinner and to visit. His cousins and aunt are in town this weekend and it's been fun to get to know them a little better (it was all kind of a blur at our wedding!).

Xujey walked past me crying about something. While trying to cheer her up, I asked, "what would be tons of fun that we could do right now?"

Her answer: "Disneyland!"

Me: "Disneyland?"

Xujey: "Ummm, the beach!"

Me: "Well, Disneyland and the beach are a little far away, but we can go to pretend Disneyland and the pretend beach."

And off we went, by the time we made it to the backdoor (for you see our pretend Disneyland and beach were in the backyard), Xujey, Clarisa, Karina, Adaly and Giovanni (Wil's cousin's son) had joined us. The swings, slide and barbie jeep were Disneyland...I think we decided the Jeep was Autopia although it would have made a good Indiana Jones ride too. There was a small patch of dirt where the grass seems to stubbornly be refusing to grow...that was the beach. We even found seashells (rocks) at the beach. I had so much fun! I forget how much fun it can be to play pretend!

my daughter really enjoyed this! She told me this morning - Jessica said that Tita's backyard is the beach. I figured you were so good to play pretend with them... but it makes even more sense now!
