On Sunday 22nd of August we left straight after church for Las Vegas, where we spent the night breaking up our trip to Disney, where the the next day we met up with Aaron, Kimberly, Josh and Rachael. We were all staying at the same Holiday Inn not far from Disney and we were able to cooled off in the pool before having a lovely meal in the Disney village.

The next day Tuesday 24th August was my 50th birthday and lucky me I got to spend the whole day and evening in Disney! It was hot, but thankfully there weren't as many people there as I thought there would be! We had a wonderful day, went on lots of rides, got soaked to the skin as Steve and Aaron decided to have a water fight on 'Splash Mountain'. One at each end of the ride, with Beth, Josh, me and a complete stranger in the middle. To say we were wet would be an understatement, but thankfully we dried off pretty quickly!

The highlight was being treated by Aaron and Kimmy to a lovely birthday meal at Ariel’s Grotto, that over looked the lake in the California adventure park, before watching the amazing light show. All I can say is it really had a the 'WOW' factor. We returned to our hotel exhausted.

The next day we went to Huntingdon Beach, were Steve and Aaron were daring enough to go for swim in the ocean. The waves reminded me of my childhood holidays in England when we would go to Cornwall and Wales. We then drove to Palm Springs for a few days, but we came to the conclusion that we won't got there again in August as it was just too hot. But in spite of the heat we had fun in the pool and played lots of Monopoly! All in All we had another fantastic week in California.
