California

So my family ended up doing a California girls trip. It actually began as a trip for my mom and dad to visit my aunt Pat (Dad’s sister) but then my dad ended up having to work and couldn’t go and all the sisters did end up going. We spent the first night in St. George where we watched Tangled, went swimming and did some line dancing put together by Michaelene. She spent so much time on it and it turned out really good. We laughed so much. Here’s a picture of the sisters in the garage where we danced.

After St. George, my dad and Amanda headed home since they couldn’t make the entire trip. Me, mom, Michaelene, Kaylee, Rashelle, Abby, Alicia, Eve, Andrea and aunt MaryAnn continued the journey to California. We got to my aunt Pat’s about 10:30 that night. The next morning we went to Dana Point which is a lagoon type beach. Behind us was a cliff wall and in front was a beautiful beach with all these different buildings. We ended up doing random activities. Michaelene and I did paddle boarding while Alicia, Andrea and Rashelle went sailing. I really enjoyed Paddle Boarding, it is a great way to work out your core. Although I did fall in which was pretty funny.

After we were all done playing in the water we enjoyed wadingers! You might ask what are wadingers? They are the newest campfire sensation. You take wooden poles that is thicker at the top and work a biscuit around it and cook the biscuit over a fire. Then you can put anything you want in the middle. I had sloppy joe meat for the main dish and then layered yogurt and cherry pie filling for dessert. It was YUMMY!

 

Then we wanted to go look at the tide pools, but the tide was too high so we couldn’t go. We did take pictures of everyone where we were standing since it was beautiful.

Finally we ended the day getting pictures of the kids in the water. Eve is so cute in the water. She is Cranney, loves the water.

The next day we went to Church at one of the most beautiful buildings that I have ever seen. We were going to go back and took pictures later, but forgot. My mom her famous Roast dinner and then we went for a walk at this reserve park in the area that my aunt uncle live. It was so pretty!

We ended up the trip by being on the price is right. Sunday after everyone put their kids to bed, Me, MaryAnn, Rashelle, Andrea, Alicia, Pat and Chuck went down to L.A. and stayed in a hotel across the street from the CBS studios. I slept for a couple hours and then went down to the line with Rashelle to hold our place in line. It was fun because we talked to some really nice ladies who were there for one of the girls birthday. It was a long day that started out at 1:00 for me. The episode was a Beatles tribute that had a Beatles cover band that played. No one in our group got on the show, but we’re in the second row so you see us a lot! There are no pictures from this day since camera’s are forbidden.

After Price is Right we headed back to St. George to sleep and then got up the next morning and headed home.

So while I was writing this blog, the part about the price is right, I was about to put, it will air May 4th. The very next thought was, it’s May 6th I missed it. Thank Goodness for modern technology and you can just watch it on your computer.
