Oh by the way we went to Cali...

...here are the pictures of all the fun places and people we were able to visit! (I didn't get any pictures with Sarah and Sammy or Aaron and Kristen or The Farley Fam or Ryan and Joelle - But their visits were no less special!)

 In Mesa waiting to board. I was happy they sat us in the front of the plane. I don't mind waiting to be last to board - that means I didn't have to wait in the line to get to our seats and we were among the first off the plane - BIG plus points!

 We landed in Oakland and the amazing Melanie picked us up and took us back to their wonderful hotel. We spent the night there and had a great time hanging out and swimming. A big highlight for me was the free breakfast that the hotel provided - LOVED it! 


 Melanie drove us to meet my mom in Gilroy and eventually we made it to Fresno! Papa and Charlotte were frequently found out front riding in the power chairs.


 Elle and Teagan came to play and they had a blast together! (doesn't the picture below look like a Holly and Crystal playing in the pool?)

 The girls and I enjoyed our visit at the Draper's House. We were able to see almost all the boy cousins. Above is Baby Elliot

 Grandma Barbara and Daphne :)

 Leah and Abby became victim of my picture taking :)

 All the boy with my girls and Grandma

 We love Grandma Barbara and Cousin Leah. We had fun with Melanie, Beau, Aunt Carol, Jazz and Abby too! Oh and Luke even stopped in to join the fun.

 At Aunt Crystal's we got to see the baby chickens and their new coop. The girls as always had fun together. 


 At  Ashley's we were able to join in with some science experiments and also visit with Heidi and her girls.





Luke and Melanie took me to Kabob Express in Fig Garden and it was amazing! Their garlic cream is still haunting me - because I want MORE! Miss Daphne was in love with Melanie - which was so great for me because Daphne has become very clingy and with all the new people she was constantly meeting - I had little breaks from having her in my arms. 



 And of course we were able to see the Grandparents and get some good squeezes that you can't get on skype.


 We also got to visit the Children's Museum in Oakhurst. So so Fun! Charlotte loved dressing up and performing for us on stage. 

It was a great visit and our hero Joelle drove us all the way to Oakland so we could fly home and our other hero Rachel drove all the way to Mesa to pick us up. We are so blessed and feel so loved by all our family and friends. Thank you all for your love and support of our family!
