California Gurls

In September, Bria and I flew to California to watch my oldest sister's four kids while she went to Hawaii. It was a little crazy, but we (mostly) had fun. There was also a lot of tv and movie watching.

And on the last night, as I was getting the kids ready for bed, Stone, who is Bria's age, bumped the stereo which turned on a Michael Jackson CD full blast. So we had a little dance party. It was a great way to finish up watching them (and maybe overshadow some of the times I was a little less patient).

Bria and I stayed for another six days after my sister got home, which was so fun. She even made us fancy Hawaiian drinks.

And we went to a place called Happy Hollow, a little amusement park geared specifically toward young kids.

I have to admit that I enjoyed this ride, The Frog Hopper, a little too much.

There was also just a lot of time hanging out and going to parks.

My brother also lives about five minutes from my sister, so it was so fun to hang out with them too. Bria snapped this picture of the boys wrestling

And Rachel snapped this picture of my brother, Scott, and me. Good thing I look so tired. Give me a break, I had just finished watching five kids for four days. Also, I was in desperate need of a haircut (which I got the next day). One of the only things I don't like about living on the East Coast is living so far away from my family. I miss these guys! Hopefully it won't be too long until I get to see them again. Now I just need to convince them to visit me . . .
