California!

Brittany started Junior High today! Emily and Tyler start school tomorrow. Last night we got home from a fun trip to California. We stayed with Sister McDermitt, a sweet neighbor of the Prices. It was nice to have a comfortable place to stay and she seemed to enjoy having company in her home.
We arrived in Temecula, California on Tuesday night. Wednesday morning we went to Newport Beach with the Price family.

Thursday we went to Knott's Berry Farm. The California kids started school this week and so the crowds weren't too bad. We really enjoyed ourselves. If purchased ahead of time, they have an all you can eat lunch buffet for $8. They served corn, beans, bbq chicken, salad, Mrs. Knotts famous berry pies, ice cream and more! It was delicious and such a great price!
Later I really regretted that I did not purchase the splash picture at the end of this ride. Emily HATES to get wet at amusement parks. The only reason she got on the ride is because I had already gone and told her you don't get wet on this ride. (Surprisingly, you really don't) We looked at the picture at the end of the ride and Emily was behind Brittany and had her head inside Brittany's shirt just to insure that she didn't get her head wet!

Friday, we went to the San Diego Zoo. Just Mike, Jordan, Ashlee, Tyler and I went. All of my boys LOVE animals and we had such a good time.



Saturday, was the California reception for Jordan and Ashlee. It was so beautiful!

The happy couple!

After dinner all the girls went down stairs and we surprised Connie and Danica with a baby shower.

There was a different melted candy bar in each diaper and you had to guess the candy bar. It looked just like a messy diaper.

Congrats Danica on cute baby Lila born last week and congrats Connie on baby boy to be born soon!
