This trip to California was fun. Not only did I see the family, but some friends too! I hadn't seen them for SO long. So, here's the California week in review:
Day 1: Drive a long time. The kids were GREAT! Arrive in Santa Monica, eat tasty blueberry waffles.
Day 2: Play with Sarah Jane, lunch at Campo's, play at park, go to Torrance to see old friends . . . leave Logan there after a YUMMY dinner and good visiting. Congratulations to Alyssa for graduating from high school!
Day 3: Logan comes back. Laurie & kids come to visit, so good to see such a good friend after such a long time. Play at the park. Hang out.
Day 4: Church. Go to friends' house and play and eat and talk and hang. More good friends we haven't seen for too long. Congratulations to Brody for graduating from high school!
Day 5: Play with Sarah Jane. Drive to Westlake Village to see MORE friends! Lunch and playing with Michelle & Brenda and our 9 kids! Just like old times, except with kids. We haven't changed a bit. Go to Simi Valley (where we always have fun and eat well)! Swim.
Day 6: Go to Kelly's middle school commencement. Yeah for Kelly! Swim. Leave the kids home and go to Craig's high school graduation. Nice job Craig! Eat and play.
Day 7: Swim. Shop. Leave Easton in the car to take a nap (when I got back he looked at Elizabeth and me and said, "you left me!" He really wanted to go shopping, so Elizabeth took him for ice cream and shopping. By the way, Craig, Kelly, Logan & Lauren were there, we didn't leave him alone somewhere.) Play. Eat. Pack.
Day 8: Drive a long time. The kids were good. Get to swap Logan for Craig . . . nice for conversation and singing Tarzan songs. Home.
P.S. Logan is smiling in all four of these pictures!
