California Dreamin!

*WARNING* Picture overload!!!

Last week the boys and I ventured off to Mesquite to pick up my 2 nieces and nephew. My sister Celeste was going to have a baby so I took her kids and mine to California to visit my parents and to celebrate Candi's graduation. With the 6 of us loaded up, we headed off Wednesday morning. (Just in time too because Celeste had her baby that evening!) The kids were AMAZING on the way down, I couldn't have asked for them to be more perfect! (since it was 5 of them and 1 of me!)

We kept them busy the whole week, but they still managed to drive my family crazy with the loudness and craziness!

The kids pretty much went swimming everyday!

And ate Cheetos!

We went to the Friant Fish Hatchery...it was totally free and so much fun (we were able to feed the fish too).

My good friend Melissa and her family were able to come too! It was so good seeing some friends!

After the hatchery we went to Loss Lake for some lunch. The water was freezing cold, but that didn't stop the kids!

We also went to Rodery Park, there is the Zoo, a Playland and Storyland and a bunch of playground and picnic areas that are way fun! We always went to the zoo so this time we went to Storyland and Playland.

I could have stayed longer, but the kids and my family were ready for it to be over. Plus the Hughe's wanted to see their new baby brother! So Monday we loaded them all in the car and took off (this time I had my mom with me so it was even easier!)
Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us crash your house (literally). And Dad, I hope you're enjoying the peace and quiet and cleanliness of you house!
