California Dream

So I am way behind! Anyways, I went home to California for a week and it was so much fun. It was for my grandma's 80th and great-grandma's 100th birthdays. We just turned it into a family reunion type celebration. I came early so I could get some quality time with Darin and Logan, I also got to see Heather a few times, get tan and fall in love with California again. I forget how beautiful it is at home and how it is sunny with natural air conditioning. Plus, I just loved being with the family and having no cares of my adult life...a true vacation!

Mom and I had so much fun taking care of the boys. My first day there we went crawdad fishing, berry picking, and swimming. Then on Sunday, I went to the San Francisco singles ward. It was fun and interesting. Monday, I went to lunch with Aunt Melanie and Heather, who I just love talking to and seeing. I also went swimming at Aunt CC's with the boys, which was fun because I got to talk a lot with LeeAnne. Tuesday, we played at a park and went swimming again. We went to the fair on Wednesday. Thursday, we went swimming!

On Friday, the family reunion part started. We went to this cool park thing and did some easy hikes along with a picnic. The worse part was trying to get our BBQ started, but finally we got it going and thoroughly enjoyed my hot dog! After we played frisbee in the field and I actually could throw it! After we went to the beach and the best part was when Hyrum, Dad, and Spencer got in the freezing water to body surf. They are awesome!

Saturday, we went to Aunt CC's for swimming, dinner, and the birthday celebration. I ate so much good food and my favorite dessert was the gluten-free lemon cake....I would have never guessed that one!

I had to leave on Sunday, but it was such a great week. I love being with the family. I love that our family does so many activities in a chill way. Party rock in the house tonight!
