California Fun 2012: Part 5

A day of swimming at an indoor pool.

Reagan loved this litttle chair that has been in Nana's family a long time!!

California Fun 2012: Part 4

These pictures are easier to handle in parts, which is why there are so many of them. Well, and we were there TEN nights. That is a lot to document, and there were so many wonderful moments undocumented. It is a good thing we have them nestled in our memories:-)

Smiley little Anthony:-)

We had a picnic at the park with Grandpa, Nana, my sister and her kids, and me and my kids.  It was a great time, and a gorgeous day.

Hot dogs on the grill, macaroni salad, chips, fruit, gatorade, and cupcakes! Mmm-mmmm!!

I was holding my sisters arm here, so she wouldn't get me back for the bunny ears she sported in the previous picture:-))

All ELEVEN kids!!!

One beautiful crew:-)

A day at the Sacramento Zoo with Grandma Nancy, me and the kids.

This is a cute one of the four kids. Ryan had to head home on this day, before we headed to the zoo.

NuYo after the Zoo: what a yummy treat!

Matthew LOVED this frozen yogurt shop: NuYo. It was a new discovery for us, and wasn't around when we lived in California. He told me he wished every ice cream place around could be converted to one of these.  He got to go here three times while we were in California. It is located in the same area as where we used to live!

California Fun 2012: Part 3

Sidewalk chalk and a sunny day=smiles!

Aaaaah, SUN!

Some down time. That was the nice thing about having a nice lengthy stay...we could relax and not have to work so hard to squeeze it all in.

Our visit up to Aunt Sharon's for dinner. Addison is my cousin's daughter, and we got to meet her for the first time.  What a smart, cute little girl!

The kids, me, Addison and Aunt Sharon.  My Aunt own many acres, and she has lived in the same house since before I was born!

Grandma Nancy with the kids.

Addi and Reagan. The girls all had a great time playing together!

My cousin, Chris, his wife, Brittany, and Addi. What a cute family! They are due with a little boy in April.

Ready to eat! Aunt Sharon was so kind to have us all over for dinner, and my heart was filled to be able to have this visit with her:-)

California Fun 2012: Part 2: Disney On Ice

More California Fun:

Disney On Ice: Toy Story 3, here we come!

Barbie was great!

We were about 4 rows up and center stage, so we had the perfect view!

"Toy Story 3" was spelled out in blocks at the end, but you don't even notice it is being done until they exit the stage, and there it is!

Some videos, for those who feel like watching a few clips from the show:












This clip is when Ken Doll was trying on different outfits for Barbie...really funny! If you watch this clip to the end, you can see the big smile Reagan gave me!
