August 2011…Trip to California

Just before Aunt Kendra left for home, the kids and I headed off to Sacramento to show Finn off.  Of course the flight was full so there was no extra space for Finn and it made for a long flight to California, but we made it and it was well worth it.  The kids enjoyed spending time with Ava and just getting to play in Nana and Papa’s backyard.  One day my aunt and grandma took us all to Funderland which Reese was in love with.  All the rides there are just her size and she was running from one to the other while Finn rested in the shade with his Great Ma, which I think both of them enjoyed.

While we were visiting my parents took the whole family to go to Gilroy Gardens which is a fun little theme park a few hours away.  It was nice to get to spend a whole day with everyone accept Nate and to get to know my soon to be brother in law David a little bit better.  It was a hot day so we went to a little water area and Reese wanted nothing to do with it, but Finn enjoyed getting a little wet with Aunt Lissa and Uncle David.  It was so hot later in the afternoon that I had to coax Reese into one of the little splash zones with candy just so I could get her to cool off and we kept getting Finn’s hat wet to cool him off as well.

We also spent some time on the river with David and Melissa’s boat (but I have no clue where those pictures are at the moment) and made a trip up to Grandma’s house to introduce her to her great grandson.  We always have such a great time in Sacramento and it gets harder and harder each time to leave.
