We are back from California, here's some pictures from all our adventures.
This is Claire right after I woke her up to change her at 6:00 am, as you can see it was a bit early for her and fell back asleep on the changing table.
We arrived in California about 9:30 in the morning and Claire did great on the flight, I was hoping she would have slept since she woke up so early but I was wrong, she had fun watching TV and playing with the window. As soon as we got into the car she was out and slept all the way to Arcadia (even missed out on our first stop, In-N-Out)
We stopped at Auntie Ree's house to unload our bags and Claire started exploring, she loved her big bath tub and...
... loved feeling the cool air come out of the vents
(our vents at home are up on the walls so this was new to her)
I have had 3 friends that had babies and we got to meet them all first here is
Tessa Kathleen (almost 1 month old)
Brooke Taylor (2 hours old!)
Conner Ryan (3 months old)

Friday night we did go to Disneyland but as you can see I don't have any pictures. While we were at the hospital to visit my friend Katie, Claire decided to drop my camera on the hospital floor and it bounced twice, and it moved something on my camera and those Disneyland pictures are no where to be found right now. There weren't many pictures so I'll just explain what we did.
We went to Rain Forest Cafe for dinner- Claire loved all the animals and plants to look at. Then got on the monorail and went into Tomorrowland, went on Buzz Lightyear, Carousel, Snow White, and walked down Main Street and did some pin trading. By then Claire had had enough so we walked back to the car. It was a quick trip but we enjoyed being there. If I ever find the pictures I'll add them.
Saturday was WICKED!!! The day was finally here, Jason got me the tickets for my birthday. Grandma Patti and Auntie Ree watched Claire (they went to the car wash, had a Popsicle, and went to Target) Wicked was so incredibly GREAT! I loved every minute of it, except the fact that the temperature inside was almost the same as the outside- HOT!
Saturday night we went to one of our favorite restaurants- BJ's. Claire had fun coloring.
Back at Auntie Ree's house- Claire loved playing with all of her beads. I knew I didn't need to bring toys!
Sunday morning we headed out to Ventura so Claire could meet Great Grandma Vi for the first time. We met up at Souplantation and had a great visit!
On the way there we stopped somewhere off the 101 fwy to get some gas.... $4.09 a gallon! Then on the way back the temperature started rising and it got up to 106º


can you tell what team they were rooting for??
Later that evening we put Claire in the pool in her new Dora bathing suit. She wasn't too in to it, but she liked the beach ball that someone had there a lot better
Jason and Christopher playing some cards before we watched Desperate Housewives
Monday morning we went out to see Grandma Patti's new bank, went and had lunch at a Mexican restaurant (Claire loved the sweet tamales) This fountain was out in front and she had to stop and see it.
We then walked over to the brand new Trader Joes, did some shopping, and Claire got a balloon. We went back to the bank and Claire got some wiggles out.

Saying good bye to Auntie Ree (I had to crop her out of the picture because she was crying, but it was a cute one of Claire all relaxed) We are so grateful to her for letting us stay at her house and using her room and her nice, huge, comfy, new bed.
We had a great trip and got to see lots of people and do all that we wanted to. Just wish it wasn't so hot, it reached 100º everyday we were there. Claire relaxing before boarding the plane back to SLC.

Whoa- what a fun trip, but the temp makes me not so jealous. That little Claire owns everyone everywhere she goes, doesn't she?! LOVE IT & HER!
Wow! You guys did a ton of things in your few days down there! Looks like you had a blast! (minus the scalding temps and crazy gas prices!)
So did Jason & Christopher watch Desperate Housewives with you gals? ;)
You guys had a busy week. Do you need a vacation from your vacation. I can't wait to hear more details about Wicked. I so want tickets when it comes to SLC!
