Today Cliff had to visit one of his customers who owns an airport in Perris. This customer built an indoor skydiving simulator. Cliff wanted all of us to go with him to see the airport and check out the sky diving simulator.
So we headed out at 8am and it took about an hour to get there. The weather was chilly and the clouds were getting dark and the wind gusty. Cliff met with his customer for about an hour while I took the girls and we ventured around the airport. There were all sorts of private planes and jets. There were many Sky Diving shops. We saw a lot of sky divers with their equipment getting ready to take a flight up that morning.
We rain into an 85 year old WWII veteran who flew planes during the war. He was fascinating to talk to. He lives in La Puente. I got a picture of him with the girls. He said he hoped to fly another 15 years and then retire. I really enjoyed his zest for life!!
We met some skydivers and the girls ran around on the grass and kicked a socker ball around with some boys. Then raindrops started coming down then a huge downpour. We headed into the restaurant where Cliff was having his meeting. He was wrapping up his meeting just as we arrived.
We had a bite to eat. Dave, the manager, and Bob, the owner invited Savannah to try out the Sky diving simulator. She was beyond excited. They had a slot for her at 12:30pm!! So we ventured over to this 4 story building that contained the flight simulator. There were loud engine noises to pump the huge amounts of air into the simulator. It looked just like a rocket ship!!
We watched with fascination at the instructors teaching people who signed up to try out the skydiving simulation. Savannah was called in to take a class on what to do and learn certain hand signals. Then she got to put on a really cool flight suit, goggles and a flight helmet. She looked so cute!!
She was so brave as she walked confidently into the flight simulator. She laid on the ground and followed the instructions on what to do. She floated and flew around. I was in amazement and so proud of my baby!! I couldn’t believe how good Savannah did! When she finished, the first thing out of her mouth was….when can I go again!!

This weekend is the last weekend for the Electric Parade at Disneyland. It will be moving to Disneyworld in Florida.
With this in mind, we decided to go to Disneyland today. Our friend Britney went with us. We had a total blast. We went on every ride in Fantasy Land. The girls had a blast driving cars and a nice cast member gave us fast passes to go on a couple of rides without waiting in line.
So, Britney took the triplets to the Rocket Ship ride and I took Savannah on Star Tours and then we went on Space Mountain. Space Mountain was the biggest ride Savannah has ever been on and this was a huge and big deal! She was scared and loved it all at the same time. When we coasted in after the ride, she asked, mommy, can we go again!! It was so much fun!!
At about 8pm, we ventured over to California to watch the Electric Parade. It was really crowded and we couldn’t find a spot to park and view. The girls were crashing out and exhausted. So we grabbed a quick dinner and then went home. Hopefully we can see it this weekend before it ends.

Today after our La Habra Moms Club meeting,we took my friend, Liz, out to lunch for her birthday. She brought her son and I brought all of the girls. We went to our favorite sushi spot, Higo Sushi.

Last night I dressed the girls in matching Christmas pajamas that I had purchased from JCPenney’s in November during their Door Buster Sale. They all looked so cute.
Unfortunately, Amanda and Savannah got sick in the middle of the night. They had a stomach bug. So I had to change their cute Christmas pajamas. Maryssa was sick a couple of nights ago and was throwing up through the night. They must have caught it from her. Anyway, the girls are fine now so all is good!1
Last night Cliff put together the triplets Mermaid Tricycles. They have a cute bubble and music machine. The girls went crazy for them this morning. These were supposed to be the triplets birthday present back in August, but Cliff was in Arkansas working for 6 weeks and was not here during their Birthday party to put them together, so I just hung onto them for Christmas.
The triplets got digital cameras by Discovery Kids. I had scored big time on these cameras at Bed Bath & Beyond. The cameras were on sale for $30 and I had coupons and saved $30 so I spent $60 for all 3 cameras…woo hoo!! I also got Savannah a real video camera and got it cheap for $25.
Savannah got a neat VTech Pocket handheld video game package. It is a little advanced for her but she will grow into it.
All of girls got Leap Frog Learn To Read Books.
They had a great Christmas.
Dad and Fran came this afternoon. We went for a nice walk. They enjoyed interacting with the girls. I made a nice lunch – homemade tomato & rice soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.
We had a nice dinner together. I baked chicken. We watched the movie Julie and Julia tonight.
