We were so lucky to go to California after the holidays and see family! It was wonderful to see everyone, hang out and not do much of anything. We did go to San Francisco one day and the kids had a blast!
Here are some of the kiddos on the Golden Gate Bridge. Aidan didn't make it all the way across... A big truck came across and shook the bridge a bit, we were about a quarter of the way across. Aidan took about 20 more steps and then he couldn't do it anymore, so he and I turned back and went to the car.
Makaela still doesn't like to have her picture taken.... not sure why, I tried not to over do picture taking when she was little... But perhaps, I did....
I got a Holga lens for Christmas and it is my new favorite toy! Here some of the images I took with it! I am so in love!
The kids swam a lot! The thing that was perhaps the best about this was that there was at least 1 kid from every family that was sick. So there were 2 from Colorado, 1 from California and 1 from either Texas or Tennessee (not positive on which state they found it in). So it was great to see them all swim in the pool together, mix up their sicknesses, dip in the hot tub to warm it all up and then they passed it off to the adults. Fun. I am still fighting their concoction. Most nights I sound like I smoked 5 packs of cigarettes that day and some days I sneeze so much I can barely breathe. I'm sure if they were in a science fair, they would have taken first place.
This is 1 branch of my nieces and nephews.
Here is another branch of nieces.
Here would be part of my branch. Part of our branch got left behind. I kept purchasing food for said child and I would look for him where ever we went. Some would say I was in denial. And I would perhaps have to agree with them. It is very hard to get used to not having 3 kids where ever we go. I wasn't quite prepared for just having 2 kiddos yet.
We were missing an entire branch, they had to leave the day before and we had meant to take a picture with all of them, but never got around to it.
