Exciting News

For the past 12 days we have been on VACATION! Remember this post a few weeks ago? Well, the big day I had planned included the first leg of a 2 day drive to Southern California.

Unfortunately, my ducklings didn't get well in time and we had lots of vomiting in the car. But we survived. The trip was full of fun. Elisabeth got to meet my side of the family.....many of them for the first time. Here is a peek at our getaway (you may notice that the pictures I shared last week hinted at what we were doing on vacation):

My sister Jennifer graduated from Humboldt State University with a degree in archaeology:



My brother Michael graduated from Law School at Southwestern University:




We swam:


My girls played with their cousins:


We enjoyed a lovely day at the zoo (after getting escorted out initially due to an escaped animal):



More swimming.....this time at Grandma Coats' house:


And of course we had to pay our respects to Disneyland. It is so fun to share this part of my family history with our children!:



It's always nice to take a vacation. But it's also nice to get back to regular routines. I'm looking forward to a quiet week of normal!
