Our Spring CA Trip

We spent almost a week in CA this past month, and it was wonderful as always. We had at trip packed with good friends, family time, swimming, a day trip to Santa Barbara, the zoo, a child-less date night with Joe and Tori, pilates, walks around the lake, shopping, and Lucy was finally able to 'meet' her Uncle Patrick.

Lucy was a champ pretty much the whole trip. She had a little melt down around nap time one of the days we spent at the pool, and got antsy at a restaurant one of the nights, but other than that she was awesome. She LOVED the flamingos at the zoo, and really enjoyed seeing all of the animals for that matter. We were able to Skype with my brother, Patrick, who is serving a mission in Argentina, on Mother's Day. It was so good to see him in action, happy and doing well. I love and miss that kid.

Lucy fell in love with a mylar balloon when we were at Walgreens one evening, so of course it came home with us. She thought it was the coolest and funniest thing ever. She loved playing with her friends. We were able to see Finn, Luke and Reese while we were there.

All in all, it was a fantastic trip. We always love being able to spend time with my family, and love soaking up that California sun.
