Sunny (hot) California

Despite the heat we kept very busy on our trip to California. A good question would be 'What didn't we do?" We celebrated birthdays with many presents, went swimming, fishing, bowling, horseback riding, miniature golfing, roasted marshmallows, slept in an R.V.(well, the kids and their aunt Kayce did), visited with family - a highlight of the trip - went to LEGOLAND, and laughed a lot.

We went fishing with Ezekiel and his Mom Gen. It was a lot of fun, since we went to a fish farm and each child was guaranteed a catch.

Little Kierah was thrilled to have her cousins visit from out of town, though she wasn't so excited about getting her picture taken, neither was Jack. Her Mom should have a baby girl by the time anyone reads this (today was her scheduled inducement day).

Mak loved driving in Lego town.
All those "people" are made from Lego's and this little driving course had actual stop lights and signs that the kids had to follow. They got their "driver license's at the end".

The Men went on an hour and a half horse ride through the mountains, while the women and Jack waited. Unfortunately we forgot to give them a camera, but they said the views were spectacular!

Can you see Jack below the huge Lego Giraffe? He and Mom went for a walk while his brothers build cars inside and raced with other kids.

Chatham turned six and lost his first tooth while we were out there!

Mak enjoyed just sitting and fishing without bait. We called it his Tom Sawyer moment.

TJ's highlight is always miniature golf where he gets special treatment and is allowed behind the counter to "help" as well as get in as much practice as he wants.
We had fun with young to old, Jack all the way to Grandma played the whole course.
