California Trip

One of our best friends moved to California at the beginning of summer, so Kayden and I headed down to visit her and the family, while also hitting up Aunt Sissy on our adventure.  We had a great time and loved every minute of it.  We did so many fun activities and enjoyed being with our friends and exploring parts of California I haven't been before. 

We showed up on a Monday and after almost forgetting our carry on on the airplane, we met Linzie, Emily and Parker at the baggage claim.

Anyway we spent the first day chilling at their new house and learning what California heat is all about.  It was so stinkin' hot....like really hot.

Then we headed to the fair on Tuesday, where it was even hotter than the day before, I didn't know that was possible.

Um, if at all possible, enlarge the above picture and look at the terrified look on Emily's face!  I'm pretty sure the whole fair could hear her screams of panic.

 

 

I may or may not have consumed fried peaches, mac and cheese stuffed burger, capt' crunch chicken burger and a wine slushy. 

We did activities through out the week and spent some lazy mornings letting the kids play and watch tv while Linzie and I chatted and drank coffee and enoyed the air conditioning.

We took some walks around the neighborhood and let the kids ride bikes to a couple parks.  We tried some new, and amazing shaved ice dessert and a few other restaurants.  Linzie and I snuck away one night to get pedicures, and another night for massages and shopping. 

One day we went to a World of Wonders museum then walked around a little town. 

Then on Friday we met up with Aunt Sissy at the Jelly Belly factory, and took the tour around.  Sadly, the factory wasn't really operating that day, for whatever reason, but a good time was had anyway.

After the Jelly Belly factory we headed home with sissy and enjoyed chatting and lounging around the rest of the day.  Then Saturday we got up and headed to Six Flags and spent the whole day there, allowing Kayden to take the lead.  We had a great time and were all tired by the end. Then it was time to get up Sunday morning and head home.  Thankfully I didn't forget my luggage on the plane this time! 

We had a great time being in California, but were excited to come home and see Kyle and get back to a summer schedule.
