We attended the annual convention of the National Down Syndrome Congress, which was held on the weekend of July 29-31, 2005.  The convention was held in Anaheim, California, so we took some time out on Saturday evening to go to Disneyland.

During one session of the convention, we met a beautiful, nine-year-old girl named Whitney, who loved to hold Chelsea.   Whitney and Chandler drew pictures together during the session.

Chandler went with Grandma and Grandpa to the open house for the Newport Beach Temple.  We all visited the temple before heading home.Chandler went with Grandma and Grandpa to the open house for the Newport Beach Temple.  We all visited the temple before heading home.
