Spring Break in California


We left at 5am on our long road trip to California.
Of course, no one could sleep because of the excitement!



 We arrived at Tim and Rachel's house that night at 10 pm.  The next morning they took us to the sand dunes next to there home in Arroyo Grande.  

The kids played for hours hiking up and sliding down the massive sand hills!

Tim also got wet suits for all the kids, and taught them how to boogie board.  This was one of Alley and Lucy's favorite parts of the trip.

We then made our way to Tia's house and we hiked up to the Hollywood sign.  They all wanted their pictures with the sign.




We loved that Tia had a pool and we had some beautiful sunny days to spend by it.

 This picture needs some explaining.  Tod has just finished dental school and Ben needed a cleaning.  So, naturally, they decided to do the cleaning pool side.   Yeah it was a sight to see!

The kids love the playground and the BBQ's outside






 Shopping at all the fun malls.  These girls were in heaven!


 Pink Berry Frozen Yogurt?
Reese is saying it all!















 Lots more fun was had at 6 flags and the air park!   Thanks California family for hosting our huge family of 9.  We had a GREAT time!

Wonderful trip!! Loved all the pictures and comments and I can't believe what a great family you have down there to take care of you all. But we would do it too, if you came to Oklahoma! So COME!

I agree with Stafani, that is the best, funniest picture of all of these. It looks like you had a total blast! Good post!

Also, your girls are getting big (tall). I guess it's about time for you to have another one. They are beauties!
