Back in October, I traveled to see my Nana and Papa and some of the extended family for a weekend of togetherness. This weekend was planned prior to Papa having his third stoke leaving him hospitalized, so it was a good time to get family together, see Papa, and take care of and keep Nana distracted. Most of us cousins all grew up in Southern California we were used to summer trips to Disneyland together and having 'Camp Nana'. 'Camp Nana' was when my sisters and cousins and I all spend the week at Nana and Papa's house selling lemonaid and found golf balls to the golfers, sleeping on the living room floor, having fashion shows, eating Italian food, going to the Family Fun Center to play mini golf and ride rides and playing many hands of cards; this weekend reminded us of all those fun memories and gave us a taste of the past as now we are all adults sleeping on the floor, playing cards, having big family meals, and going to Disneyland of course!

There were a total of 15 of us, that headed to Disneyland on a Saturday with what seemed like the rest of Southern California. We had 2 wheelchairs, one for Nana, and one for a cousin with a hurt knee, and then a stroller for my cousins 5 month old, talk about quite the parade we had.

We had a great day of nostaligia riding our favorite rides, watching the magical fireworks and being together as a big family that we are.

Nana came in the afternoon with my aunt and it was really special to have her with us at Disneyland, I think she enjoyed being there with most of her grandchildren as well, I sure had a great day!
