California trip part 1

I think our whole trip revolved around going to Livermore to see our friends that we miss so much. We waited to leave till Saturday morning just so the girls would be able to spend the whole afternoon with friends. Most of Jacobs friends have moved away, but he got to see Sarah, with bangs. (That was one of the first things he noticed)

Here are the girls with some of their friends. We went to our old ward on Sunday. Taryn was sick so she stayed in the hotel. Poor girl, she was throwing up all day. The car ride to LA was not fun for her.


Luckily Taryn felt better on Monday. Good thing too, we had bought tickets for Disneyland for Monday. We ran through both parks to get it all in. I didn't want to go a second day. None of the kids really like to ride the rides, we did convince (manipulate) Lauren into going on California Screamin'. She said she liked it but didn't want to go on it again. As the bad parents we are, and we did the same thing 6 years ago with Taryn and Lauren, we tricked Jacob into going on some rides he would not have chosen for himself. The tower of Terror. He didn't cry, but he was terrified. Another kid ruined.

Bree is still to young to enjoy too much, and being the youngest she will probably never go back, cause that's just the way it is with the youngest. At least I got a picture of her as proof that she went once.




These next two pictures were taken towards the end of the night, and Jacob had had enough. He didn't want to be in anymore pictures. Overall the kids had a good time, and we spent a small fortune. Sorry kids, there will be a delay on your braces.





On Tuesday the kids, ALL of them, got to spend the day at the office with their dad. Thanks to everyone else in the office that helped take care of them, brought them lunch, went to the store to get wipes, and a sippy cup. The kids were well behaved as far as I know. They were troopers
and were very patient, all they wanted to do was go back to the hotel and swim.
Stay tuned for part two, when I get around to it.
