We finally went on our trip down to see my family in LA. It seemed like we were talking about it all Summer! We had so much fun! First of all my sister, Connie flew up to Sacramento and we picked her up at the airport and immediately started driving back down the 5 fwy. She has been trying to talk me into reading the Twilight book series for a long time but since she had a captive audience she read the first several chapters to me in the car while I drove. I am so hooked!!! I read the rest of the book the next day and now I'm almost done with the second, New Moon. The drive went really fast because of the reading.
The next day we went to the LA ZOO. Alison was in heaven with all those animals and she keeps looking at the map and talking about what we saw and didn't see. My niece, Meshell and her baby, Cosette came al0ng as well as my sister. It was hot but we still had lots of fun! Thanks to Meshell for the free Zoo passes!
We rested and I read the whole next day at my parents house and we went to church with them there. It was nice to see some of the people I grew up with and visit.
On Monday we went to the Long Beach Aquarium with my mom and my friend Lisa, who lives quite close to the Aquarium. We say lots of beautiful fish and even got to touch sharks and rays! Then we went to Bubba Gumps for lunch and it was super yummy! Thanks Mom!!!
We visited with Aunt Susie and Gio for a bit on Tuesday then we drove out to Corona to help prepare for my nephew, Clint's arrival home from his mission in Arizona, Tempe mission.
He came home on Wednesday and my sister's house was filled to the rafters with family to welcome him home. The kids had a great time playing with all their "almost cousins" from my sister's husband's side of the family. We were so excited to see Clint and we are so proud of him and just know that the next year will be filled with even more adventures for him!
On Thursday we picked up my mom and headed back north. She read to me in the car too and helped me get a little more than half way through the New Moon book. My mom stayed at my house for a few days to help us prepare for Lily's party...to be continued...
