California Vacation: Days 6 & 7

Sunday, August 9th, started early with going to church at 9am.  Kyle is a nursery leader, so we hung out with him in nursery the whole time.  Their nursery is nice with a rocking chair, pictures on the wall and lots of toys.  Kylie had a lot of fun playing in nursery.  When we got back from church, we fed Kylie a quick lunch and then put her down for a nap.  In the process of putting her to sleep, I fell asleep as well!  Scott woke me up when it was time to eat, but Kylie slept a little longer.  All of Kyle's siblings came over for lunch as they live close by and they're all in the same ward.  After that, it seemed that there was too much going on to be able to play games and we didn't want to arrive at David & Kristene's too late, so we left around 4:30pm.  It was good to see Brianna and Kyle and we pawned Kylie off on them as much as we could since their time to see her was so short.  Kylie warmed up to both of them pretty quickly since she wasn't sure she remembered who they were at first.  We had dinner back in San Bernadino and then went on a walk to the park before bedtime.  It was a nice, relaxing day.

Monday, August 10th, was another relaxing day.  Kristene was nice and took Abrie and Kylie shopping, so Scott and I were able to go out to lunch at Farmer Boys.  We made a plan to only eat at places that are in California and we stuck to that plan!  After lunch, the girls went down for a nap and we just hung out and watched TV.  Around 3:30pm, we headed to the neighborhood pool.  Kylie had so much fun and loved jumping in the pool from the side.  We had to take her out a few times to warm her up and she hated when we did that to where she was only out for a few minutes before wanting back in.  Around 6, Scott's parents, Andrew and David showed up and we had a dinner of hot dogs, chips and fruit.  Kylie got some fun presents from her family in California, one of her favorites being a baby doll.  We had a Costco cake for her and she loved eating all the frosting off of it.  After eating, we noticed that there was a group of ladies doing Zumba around the corner.  Kylie and Abrie kept running over there to dance with them and it was super cute to watch.  I should have gotten a video because they were dancing fools and did not want to leave.  Once we got back to the house, the kids went down for bed while the adults sat and talked for a bit.  We went to bed at 11pm, woke up at 5:30am and left for Utah by 6:00am!

It was a fabulous vacation and we stuck to our agenda the whole time!  I love it when that happens.  Everything ran pretty smoothly and there were no huge hiccups, which makes a vacation so rewarding and memorable.  I'm so glad that this trip turned out well as it's probably the last big family vacation since Scott's program has started up again.
