California Trip ~ Part 2

So, here is the remainder of our pics from Cali. We went Memorial Day weekend. It was cold & rainy most of the time ~ but we still fit in a lot. Here's a recap: Visited family, toured the farm & sat in on the school tours, met the farm animals, rode horse-back & tractor-rides, soaked up Grandma's wisdom & many stories of family history, enjoyed a Memorial Day bash, visited Lake Arrowhead & the property, and celebrated my 30th Birthday. It was pretty great!! Thanks to Mom & Dad, Grandma Bea and Scott & Jim for being such lovely hosts & Grandma letting us stay at the house, as well.


Us & Grandma Bea ~ It was so nice spending more time with her & Addie getting to know her a little more :) At first she was scared of her, but then whenever I couldn't find her, I could count on her being in with Grandma. She loved to spin her lazy-susan around (that holds her medicine) ~ Eek ~ and of course, Grandma would say "she's just fine, you let her be", with a smile. She gave her some blocks and hand-painted a couple, with scriptures on them. It's a tradition she's started with some of the grandkids & now we can continue it for our FHE's. So neat. Thanks Grandma!
