Back in September we went to California for 10 days. My dear friend Dara was getting married, so we decided to make a full vacation out of it. We had a blast. Here is a little breakdown of our visit:
-We stopped in Vegas on the way there. My Dad and brothers were heading to Utah for the Deer hunt, so we met up with them for the night and had a great time.
-We took the kids to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach with Grandma Michelle.
-Took a trip to Lake Arrowhead with my Mom and shopped, fed the ducks, played on the toys and had delicious dinner.
-My friend Kerrstyn came up from San Diego and we went to Victoria Gardens & Yardhouse, and enjoyed a night out while the kids stayed with Grandma Michelle and Grandpa Barry.
-Met up with my friend Ashley who just moved to Rancho (and is in my Mom's ward!) We went to the Cheesecake factory and enjoyed way too many calories.
-Enjoyed both Grandparents pools, and enjoyed the California weather.
-Left the kids with my parents and headed to the wedding in Northridge. It was the most extravagent wedding Scotty or I had ever been too. The ceremony was amazing and the reception was beautiful. Dara is amazing and took care of every single detail. (Tons of games and activities on the kids tables, flip flops for all the girls when our feet got sore from all the dancing, care kits in the bathrooms for the guests: tylenol, perfume, makeup, hairspray, gum, mouthwash....homemade treats, too many favors, and the most amazing food and drinks.) It was quite the party! It went from 4:00pm until 1:30am. Thank you Dara!
-Met up with our friend Jessica (who just ditched us Utah folks and moved back to Cali) and had a night out at BJ's.
-Spent many nights in the hot tub with my brothers and my Dad.
-Went to work with my Dad and brother Carson. They showed Jax and Chloe tons of horses, bulls, cows & chickens.
-Visited with my friend Michelle and her little boy Carson. The kids loved playing together!
-Went to dinner with my friend Gretchen and did alot of catching up.
-Family dinner with all the brothers and Dad and Stacy.
-Went to Jayce's soccer practice, which I loved. Especially since were weren't able to be there for a game. And Jaxon wanted to join in soooo bad.
-Enjoyed spending time with family. (I'm totally homesick for it all already.)
Upon returning I lost my phone and my camera broke, so many of our pictures from the trip were lost. (So Sad!) But here are a few that I still have.
