Our Summer Trip To California


Way on top of Squaw Valley, a ski resort in tahoe. We had to take a tram up this cord for like 10 minutes, and it was way scarier then I had remembered it! We had a blast up at the top while we let the kids ice skate, and play on the mountain. My mom and dad couldnt join us cause Mom had hurt the cornea of her eye. It was too bad they werent at Squaw with us.

The boys were having a blast at Donner Lake, a beautiful day out there, perfect water, clear and a beautiful scenery to look at! Our first day with Granne and Papa we had a picnice and spent the day at Donner Lake. The boys fished a little, didnt catch anything!


Enjoy the slide show of our whole trip!



At the beginning of our trip we went to South Mission Beach. We got there early and had a bon fire at night. Levi and Judah must of caught 100 sand crabs, and Josiah enjoyed jumping the waves. Malachi didnt care what he was doing, he took his nap in the pack in play out on the sand. The sound of the waves always puts our boys to sleep! It was perfect weather out there.

Me and The Jude Building and hanging out






Rick and Pastor Jason getting excited for the ropes course at Family Camp in California!
Our trip this summer was a little different. On Saturday we headed to Alpine for For Family Camp for 3 days. We had fun, playing games and Rick enjoyed a good 'ole fashiones ropes course! The boys could do a rock climbing wall, and did archery. At night we had church and a camp fire. It was fun to hang out with our church friends. On Tuesday we started our first "road trip." I was a little nervous a road trip 4 active boys seemed a little crazy, it was 6 hours to our first destination, bishop, ca. where'd we stay the night before finshing the next 4 hours of trip the next day. The boys enjoyed swimming in the hotel with Rick that night. IT was good to see Granne and Papa and the boys had a great time with them. Rick and I enjoyed a date in Reno the first night we got there., We went to the casinos and ate yummy buffet food. We enjoyed a walk along the Truckee River in the middle of downtown Reno. That was crazy to us, a river in the middle of downtown! My dad got up every morning and made the boys breakfast usually before I woke up, that was awesome! My mom had torn her cornea just before we got there, so that was pretty hard for her, she was in a lot of pain. We were glad to see her though. WE enjoyed their nice house and deer in the neighborhood and their neighborhood donkey! On Thursday we went to Donner lake to swim and picnic, on Friday we went to Squw Valley and Lake Tahoe. The boys caught craw dads at lake tahoe with Dad. I usually stay out of that and just take pictures. And, on saturday it was time to do the 14 15 hour drive back. We did stay in Beaumont, Ca. Saturday night to cut the trip up a little bit. We were thankful we got to spend time with my parents and we had a nice safe time! Till next summer!!
