Back home from Southern California....

I loved being with the family but after
2 1/2 weeks I guess it was about time to
get back home.

We had a fabulous time!!!


One of my favorite spots is Yogurtland!!!
They have at least 12 flavors of frozen yogurt
to choose from and of course you can mix the flavors
and then add your favorite toppings.

My new favorite flavor is guava pineapple with
chunks of pineapple added in. But a close second is
Red Velvet cake dough.....heavenly.


Did I mention that we went back 3 times?


One of the reasons we went back so often was because
we had dollar off coupons...but who could
resist these sweet, happy faces eating
sweet, yummy yogurt?


And of course I can't go to California
without visiting Mickey Mouse!!!
(with thousands of other people)


We decided to spent two days and get a park
hopper pass so we could also go to
California Adventure.
This was the first time I had been to this
park and it was super fun!!!!
My favorite ride was Toy Story...



We needed 3D glasses!




I think Berkleigh looks like a rock star!!!



We stayed until the park closed on the first night
and watched the "World of Color." It was amazing!!
They showed different Disney movie shots on the
fountains of water.
Next time I will probably believe the sign that reads
"WET ZONE..You will get wet!!!"



A couple of days later we went back to see the
few things we missed the first day...
Like feeding the ducks.


...and Winnie the Pooh!!!


And the kids rides in storybook land...
like the Merry-go-Round!!!
So fun.....and more sweet smiles!!!!


On the last day of my visit, Jennifer reminded me
that we hadn't eaten at "In-and-Out" burger!!!
They make the best burgers, fries and shakes...
how could I have left without eating at my favorite
burger joint!!!


So we went for lunch and had a picnic at the park!!!
I think Merrick was tired of getting his picture taken!!!



But we did have fun!!!

A few other activities....

2 days at the beach
2 movies
at least 2 shopping days
a favorites party turned shower for Jennifer
flying airplanes with Tyson
bike ride to the beach and eating breakfast on the pier
kite flying
strawberry picking
and having a lot of fun hanging out and playing
with the gang...


Which is what I will miss the most!!!
Love you guys and thanks for
letting me stay forever!!!!
