So Monday was our last day in Cali but luckily our flight wasn’t till 6pm so we pretty much had all day. Nyla slept really good last night and didn’t wake up till 6am. We did play time till 11:15am. We had plans with my good cheer buddy Stephanie and her little boy Gabe.

So we met at Victoria Gardens Mall and had lunch at Yard House. I was so happy she mentioned it for lunch cause it is another place we don’t have here that I just love. Nyla and Gabe were cute together. The were coloring together, playing with some of Gabe’s toys and sharing their lunch’s. We then were planning on riding the train but it for some reason wasn’t running when we went to it. So we did the carousel next. I haven’t actually seen it there before. They must have added it after we moved. It was super cute and the kids were excited to go on. We sat in the little carriage seat and normally they don’t move but this on actually rocked up and down. Then stopped at Jamba Juice. I got Nyla her own little smoothie. She just loves them. Next we did some shopping and went to Gymboree and Children’s Place. The little ones were having fun shopping and playing together in the shops and were pretty good for the most part.

I think she got a brain freeze. She sucks it down so quickly. And she decided she wanted my big cup so I got her kids cup, haha.

They were both getting pretty tired and ready for naps so we were off back home. Nyla fell asleep in the car and I was going to just sit in there with her but when I was looking at my camera I realized my camera memory card fell out when I dropped it somewhere. I remember dropping it once but I didn’t think anything happened. So luckily my mom could sit with Nyla in the car so she could nap and I took my mom’s car and rushed back over there to see if I could find it. It ended up being in Gymboree under one of the racks.

I found it fairly quickly so I thought I could fit in some Pinkberry quickly since it was right there. I was still cutting it kinda close since I was planning on leaving to the airport at 3:50pm and I got home at 3:30. I packed mainly last night  so I didn’t have much to do but I knew it would take a little longer with a baby. We ended up getting there quickly and I loved that it was pretty empty. We got checked in really quickly and got to relax. We got some dinner at Schlotzsky’s and got a nice hot ham and cheese sandwich. Nyla did good just hanging out and running all over the place. She has been doing some fits lately when she doesn’t want to go somewhere, We had to board the plane and she didn’t want to go so I had to pick her up and she just throws a fit and arches her back screaming. So not fun and I know the people waiting to board were worried. Luckily we had amazing people around us and an amazing lady right next to us. it makes it so much easier. Nyla did the best she has ever done. She stayed occupied really easily. I brought some play dough that she likes to play with now and doesn’t think its food. We did some coloring. We played with some stickers that she likes to put all over her self, and she enjoyed talking to all the people around us. I was so happy she did good. It was funny though when we landed and she saw Josh she actually acted like she didn’t know him. It was that long to her. I think she was just tired she wasn’t sure what was going on. It was a good trip but I was happy to have our family together again.
