Trip to California

My sister Zoe is serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Madrid Spain, and we were able to go down and see her and be a part of her experience of going through the temple for the first time.

We were able to surprise my Mom and sisters and had a great time.


The cousins had lots of fun playing together; there was a lot of Smash Brothers ( a LOT), hide-and-seek, playing on the tramp (which Mason liked to say 'boing' instead of bounce..funny), playing baseball, swinging on the swings, hungry hungry hippos, making cookies, and playing and laughing all day.











I was so happy to be a part of Zoe going through the temple and being with family for that great experience, and of course we went for milkshakes after.


I loved seeing all my family and we were lucky enough to all be together and take a family picture with all of us.  The kids were great and sat still through all the pictures, even if we had to use a little candy bribe at the end if was a lot of fun.


Christopher was able to go on a bike ride with my Dad and they had a great time, and stayed a lot cleaner than last time they went, and of course had a lot of fun.

Loved laughing, talking, and singing with my family, getting to walk and run with my mom, reminisce with my siblings and enjoy everything about being at home with my family.
