California Trip

The boys and I flew to California to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We love having Jamie, Dan, and Bryson so close, as well as Auntie Allie who is home for the summer. We had such a great time and did so many fun things while we were there. The weather was gorgeous so we started out the week with a ferry ride from Tiberon to San Francisco with Jamie and Bryson. Dallin had never been on a boat so this was quite a fun adventure!


From there we headed up to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the rest of the week. We went swimming one day, had a picnic at the park, went to the beach and flew kites, rode paddle boats with grandma, lots of laser walks with grandpa, rode the train, pony, and merry go round. Dallin loves sleeping in his Cars sleeping bag when he visits grandma and grandpa's house. Dawson was quite content just pushing strollers around the backyard with cousin Bryson.



I loved spending time with my sisters, catching up with my friends, and spending father's day with my dad. I enjoyed letting my mom do all the cooking and taking the kids in the morning if I wanted a few extra minutes of sleep. If only It wasn't such a challenge flying alone with 2 boys (particularly the baby) I would go home more often! Thankfully I sat by some awesome and very patient people on both ends of my flight. The day after we returned home I asked Dallin what the best part of his trip was and he replied with out hesitation, "Getting to see my Dad!"

Whenever we travel Dallin just has to have his little green toy suitcase. He usually has it packed with toys for a week or two before we leave. I love this picture of the boys at the curb of the airport waiting for Auntie Jamie to pick us up.
