Our Last Day in California...

On the last day of our vacation we decided that we were going to take it easy. The boys played with their new toys while we got ready to go to visit Josh's aunt in Oceanside. They play fought with their light sabers and played with the new Mr. Potato stuff we got. I even caught Jantzen watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while wearing Donald Duck's beak that belongs to the Mr. Potato Head. Have I mentioned how funny my boys are?





When we got to Vickie's house we decided that we weren't going to go to the beach like we had planned, instead we just let the kids play while we relaxed and visited. Vickie has a play house in her backyard that Jaron remembers from two years ago when we were last there that he wanted to play in. We found out that John had started using it as a storage area (and it was full) so Vickie told Jaron if he wanted to play in it that he would have to clean it out. About 20 minutes later she looked outside and Jaron had everything out of the playhouse on the grass. We all thought it was funny how he was so determined to play in it that he cleaned it out. Vickie had also gotten the boys their own Easter basket and filled eggs for them to have an Easter Egg hunt. Jaron hid the eggs and then helped Jantzen and Raeley find them. After that, the boys just played while Raeley ate the candy.

We had a really good visit with the family and hope to see more of them soon. Our vacation this year was a lot of fun. It was nice to get a break from reality for a week and just enjoy being together. We have lots of memories now to share with others and hope to have many more in the future.
