California here we come!

Our annual summer trip to California happened the 1st day of June. Everyone was super excited and we had a great trip! Luckiest treat for us was that Daniel flew out with us Thursday night!! Woohoo! He stayed until Sunday night and then we stayed until the next Saturday. It was a great trip. Probably could have stayed a few days longer. 
We stayed with Grandpa and Mimi and had excellent accomodations as always. Plenty of room to sleep comfortably, even a vehicle to drive, a pool to swim in and excellent company - complete with plenty of American Ninja Warrior!
Jeff and Hannah drove out from Arizona to see us which was so so nice. We loved spending time with them and little Brookie and Shaylee.
Nate and Dara's kids were still in school but we saw them just about every evening we could. We dined and swam pretty much to our hearts content. We made sure we had a couple sleepovers, the kids even got to go toilet papering (a favorite for sure!)
We drove down and met my Aunt Sue in San Clemente for pizza and the park with my cousin Rachels kids, who my kids loved playing with!
We watched Jake play basketball, we had a pool party at my Aunt Sandee's, we went to the La Brea Tar Pits to see some legit ice aged fossils, we went to the El Dorado Nature Center with my cousin Rob's kids and to the park, did more and more swimming with my cousin Jill's kids. 
We spend the day with Uncle Sam at Seal Beach... was a little cold but catching crabs is always a favorite. He took the kids frisbee golfing and ninja warrioring at the skate park. 
We made sure to visit with our GG. The kids really took to her and gave her lots of love and attention which made my heart so happy!! It was a really nice visit and I'm so happy I got a couple pictures of her with the kids. 
I didn't get pictures of everything but I got some goodies. Can't wait for next summer!!
